Still looking for someone to graciously proxy an EDC for me! I can throw a little extra your way for your efforts.

Success! Do not throw a little extra my way, which I am stating publicly here to hopefully discourage a black market for proxy buying. I will proxy for people who have been around the CPK community and will be out when the sale happens, and for first-timers, but under no circumstances will I ever take money, favors, or feet pictures for it.

Dude, you rock! I honestly didn’t think anyone would score for me, so I didn’t give it anymore thought. I get off work, log in, and voila! A gracious member scored one for me! This a great example of what community is all about. Thank you very much madcap_magician madcap_magician

Good call man. Seems like just a bad idea to be involved in a profit for proxy scenario. Helping a fellow member out by volunteering to proxy for them is a very nice gesture and says a lot about one’s character and feelings about the community here.

For those who might care but missed it: the first post in this thread on page 1 clarifies some rules (line 2 in bold). Might be helpful if people are unaware.

If you would like to request or offer a proxy for an upcoming sale, you are welcome to do it through this thread and holler below.

No offering or soliciting payment for proxies in this thread.


Edit by Nate:
This is an "unsanctioned" thread and service. I have stayed out of this up until now but I would like to clarify a few things.

There really is no such thing as a sales proxy. If you come onto a sale and order a knife, you have ordered a knife.

Some people can't make the sales when they open and some of our sales sell out before a fellow can get home and place his order so he might ask a buddy to get a knife for him. And it makes sense for us to take payment from and ship directly to that fellow (reduces risk and waste in shipping). It adds a little bit of additional complexity for Jo but we're happy to accommodate. We love our customers, and we want you to be happy.

So far people have been doing a good job of keeping things reasonably streamlined so I'm not going to discourage this practice, but in an ideal world a person would simply place his own order on a sale thread.

Lets set some ground rules:

1. One person per sale. You, or your one single proxy.
2. No proxy for a pre-order. If a person wants on a pre-order list he needs to get onto it himself.
3. Do not make things complicated for Jo. No one wants that.

Hey everyone, thought I was gonna get to take a shot at my first CPK tomorrow, sold off a bunch of knives to fund it as well. Unfortunately got called into work so probably won’t be able to participate. Would anyone be willing to proxy for me? Thanks in advance guys, even if no one replies.
