Should we start a new sub forum for people to complain about prices?

[DMG]

It seems like half the the posts lately in General Discussion are people complaining about prices. You don’t have to buy them. Just be quiet. Complaining won’t bring prices down.

Wrong. We are heavily addicted by now, and actually DO have to buy them, we just have to save longer, and cut back on other “necessities” like food, soap and toilet paper, if you call those necessities

I installed bidets in my house years ago. It saved me enough money to keep up with the price increases.

It's not just prices. I complain about steels, scales, designs, leather vs kydex...

I think its a valid topic.....

*as a maker who doesn't really sell anything.


Our niche of the world is a bit unique though.

Knives are tools....... A tool with This steel, This hardware, This handle material, This sheath "Should" cost This much!!!

-But it doesn't.

If you are buying custom, you are buying a service, a brand, a persona, etc. etc....... Too.

You might even be buying Art?

Mix in the material shortages we had, political closings, and hyperinflation, and idk what ANYTHING should cost?

It's hard for everyone. :/

Complaining about the complainers can be its own thread in the sub forum.

We need a new sub forum for that too…

Yes, but it should be located on another website.

(Too soon?)

I don't foresee this thread lasting too long...so get your complaints in now...operators are standing by.

Even better.

Prices are up all over the economy. It’s timely, if anything. Buy cheaper knives is one option. Plenty of Chinese stuff flooding the market, if prices are a burden. Personally, if prices are too much for me, I just sit it out or save up. The levee will break eventually.

The corallary to this is a sub forum where people brag about how much they paid ...

Maybe the Custom Knives section should have a sign, similar to amusement parks that say “You must be this tall to ride the ride“
change the part about height to wallet contents “You must have at least 1 Million Dollars in your bank account to enter here! “
and maybe a photo

In that case, Silicon Valley Bank is out of luck if it wants to diversify into custom knives as a hedge.

I knew I’d see your chopper hovering over this thread before too long.

You know I love you, even if I occasionally make more work for you here.

I don't mind you keeping me on my toes. You come by it honestly.

Do it Quietly. No need for an exclamation point.

I just want to complain about not being able to complain about prices. How will vendors know that I think the prices are too high?
