I seen some sales with an "I'll take it" within 5 minutes.

Anyone have an idea what the record is?

If you can recall or find the sale, post a link to it here!
 
Check out some of R. Flaherty's knife sales in the Knifemakers folders for sale ;)

You had to sleep in a tent in front of the store to get one.
 
One time I posted 3 knives in one thread. The first one was gone in one minute. The second gone in two. The third a few minutes later. I was pretty shocked!
 
Ray,

You also command a large audience of standbys. Your knives are outstanding.

Now that is fast!

I suppose it would be impossible to know what the record is because the forum time stamps are in minutes only. The time stamps would have to include seconds to know for sure.

My personal record is a Spyderco Sage 1 that I sold in 2 minutes according to the time stamp. I posted the sale, walked into the kitchen to pour myself a cup of coffee, came back and I already had a buyer.
 
I have just started posting here in the last week and am surprised at how fast knives sale on here. There's been a few where I'll click on the link after a few minutes of it being up and thinking its exactly what i'm looking, and before I can respond its sold :(.
 
A lot of TA Davisons knives sell in a few minutes or less. I want one, just need to pull the trigger.
 
I had thought that respective of the odd's, someone would have pinned down a near instant "I'll take it".

There are just too many people here, with too many interests, and too many different regions, countries, states, time zones, anything; for it not to have happened somehow.

But the one's that this happens to frequently, or seemingly always, are the sale threads where the real magic happens.
