I agree with some of the points made here. Personally I find myself more peeved about not snagging a knife at the Store.
Yeah, I know, life isn't always fair. That said, the store could be made more fair by limiting the number available to people and allow more "spreading the wealth" instead of giving the virtual keys to the store to a few people that are able to F5.
Think about it a bit. More people would be able to enjoy Jerry's wares, in spite of a still fairly limited number out on the market. Plus, more of the knives would likely be users, instead of sitting with a half-dozen or so other drawer queens. With a reasonable limit per order or customer, there would still be plenty on secondary markets, with perhaps higher premiums because a higher percentage are being kept.
Or another idea. Make a "standard" run from Busse Combat. One blade thickness, one or maybe two handle colors/materials. An actual "standard". Think Hank Ford. Anything you want, as long as it's (whatever). People that desparately want a GW could order one from BCK and wait the regular several months, but be assured that they'd at least be able to
get one, and without secondary market markups.
Other variations in handle styles, materials, and colors could still be available through the Store. Business as usual, first come, first served, get them while they last, with a reasonable limit per order or customer. There'd still be a secondary market, too.
More happy little piglets and hogs. Jerry has a thriving market, more toys in people's hands, and his fanbase and customer base grows.
Like any of that would ever happen though, huh..?
What???
