Three strikes and I’m out.

It is definitely rough, and it can absolutely be extremely frustrating. That being said they are doing it as fairly as humanly possible. The boot dagger eluded me for what seems like an eternity of frustration, but I eventually got one. Chin up, we are all in this together. 👍🏻

what is frustrating is I thought a waitlist would be fair (like Busse Custom), noticed a few similar names buy then resell for a $100-200 markup shortly after purchase. Feels like Ticketmaster and a bunch of hungry scalpers.any thoughts of a random number generator for waitlist like a lottery system for those with slow internet?

CPK is about as straight up and honest an operation as there is. Nate and Jo do their best to keep things fair for everyone. Since demand exceeds the number of knives, there will always be some disappointment and gnashing of teeth.

Scalpers are not encouraged by CPK and are subject to being cut off from future purchases.

Patience may be required, but it will be repaid at some point and you'll be glad you hung in there.
 
It is my opinion that the speed of the connection plays only a small part. I connect using a T1 connection. 1.5 mbps up and down. That doesn't even meet the definition of broadband speed, but based on where I live, it's either a T1 or (years past) a crappy, slow, data-capped, high-latency satellite connection. There is no fiber, DSL, cable, or over the air broadband where I live, although I've been experimenting with Starlink. But I digress.

I don't always get in the money, but usually that's because of the weak link in my system - ME. I've clicked on the wrong link, or no link at all, I've forgotten to click into the "write a message" box, I've forgotten to "Post Reply". Only a small hesitation or misfire lands me in the dust, watching the herd in the distance. BUT, when I get it right, I've managed to get several desirable knives. Anyway, I know what my chances of getting a knife are if I don't try. So, I try, and try again if necessary, and sometimes I make it. I think I agree with several other posters, that the biggest factor is the refresh, and being lucky enough to refresh at the right time. That, and not typing with my elbow.
