Same. First person I have put on ignore. I was actually intending to pay international shipping and duty for one of those. But, nah. 7 minutes too late. Scalpers gonna scalp and I reserve the right to fart in their general direction.And another one for the ignore list. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll also keep the seller in mind whenever I sell knives here.
Even a raffle will just be won by someone who's going to flip it. I for one would like to see a separate exchange hidden in the cove.

Same here. I checked at 11:20 and they were sold out. Would like to have one because the Manix is my favorite Spyderco model. I’m definitely not going to pay that price for it, though.Same.

I gather DLT might do another run of this. Let’s hold out, brother. They are represented here on BF, so we could discuss potential for a reserved list for contributing members. Worth a shot, maybe. Anyway, I can live without it for now. Just despise those who indulge in this sort of scalping. Thankfully, the vast majority of people here are very decent. It is a great place, with a few nasty elements.Same here. I checked at 11:20 and they were sold out. Would like to have one because the Manix is my favorite Spyderco model.

I agree. Definitely will hold out on buying one. Maybe since they sold out so quickly DLT will order another run of them.I gather DLT might do another run of this. Let’s hold out, brother.

I have the blurple G10 (not the LW) skeletonised in S110v. Really can’t complain in terms of what I have.The Manix is offered in so many nice steels I like.
The DLT would of been one of those nice to have.
Maybe if the market settles I will get one.
I have one in M4, 4V and Cruware. I didn't think the DLT one would sell out so quickly. Next time I will set a reminder.The Manix is offered in so many nice steels I like.
M4, 52100, S90V, Cruware, XHP, 110V,
MAXAMET!

Next time I see someone complain about the Spyderco price increase i'm going to direct them to this thread.
Anytime you have a product that not only sells out in 5 mins, but people can double the value on in the same week just means the product was greatly underpriced to begin with.
Underpriced to begin with? No. Just a limited run aimed at collectors, with scalpers capitalising on having swooped in at the right time. Unsavoury, as was mentioned above.
That's only if you believe market pricing is the right answer. I know that some people are free market purists and would never question that, but others disagree. This is why you have makers running 'lotteries' for who can buy their $1200 knife at a show: If they didn't do that, and let the market set prices, the knife would be $5000 and have no chance of being enjoyed by a whole class of people. And believe it or not, sometimes it's more important for a knife to be carried by someone with $1200 to spare, than be kept in a safe and occasionally paraded on instagram by someone with $5000 to spare. Likewise it would arguably be better for this Manix to be used by people who want it, than used as a high-speed investment tool by those who don't.Anytime you have a product that not only sells out in 5 mins, but people can double the value on in the same week just means the product was greatly underpriced to begin with.
That will never happen as long as people treat the exchange like a cheaper version of fleabay.the buyer members on the forum, they stop buying from the flipper members, flippers gut suffocated out of business

If you required buyers to have paid memberships, the flippers would be suffocated overnight.
