Oh and by the way, if you buy one just to flip it for more money you are a terrible "member" of the knife community and should probably find a new way to make money....like selling drugs!

Oh the humanity.

Capitalism. In action. Entrepreneurship built the USA.
 
Oh damn! I just refreshed and it said 14 available!

It's probably actually gonna take a couple hours before they're all actually sold. Lots of people probably carting them but can't bring themselves to pull the trigger.

Did ZT disclose how many were made? I saw 272 in a previous post. Is that right?

I'm the biggest fan of capitalism but I'm also a fan of hard work. Flipping knives for extra money is just shitty. If people who wanted them could just buy them, the world would be better. Flipping is not entrepreneurship.....

On the bright side, if anyone didnt get one of these there will be a ton of amazing deals in the exchange in the next few days with people trying to get some of this money back.

If by amazing, you mean attempts at flipping for profit.

Only in Utopia my friend. Never happen. Best to fret over something that you might influence.
 
Got my order in :D Almost didnt get one, thought the price had been increased to $575. I dont care too much about resale--this bad boy will go into my edc rotation along with my Speedform (although I admit, I carry the 3500 rarely compared to my normal Alias/Mnandi/BM530 rotation). I have no regrets scratching up the Speedform and the $180 i paid seems like no big deal--and I bet I could get that money back on the exchange if I needed it.


11 remain! No...3 remain! no...6 remain! :p A few years down the line, you wont regret having bought this--go for it, my fellow knife knuts! :thumbup:

I think he means that people will be selling other knives to make up for the $500 they spent on this one. It's already happened tonight when someone sold a 0777blk for $475 to raise funds for their 0454 purchase.
 
Just picked one up as well! Will be interesting to see how many of them end up here for resell?

Ah, I misunderstood his point. I'd daresay that's true. I just went and looked, and there are a lot of other ZTs on the block!
 
Yeah whoever bought these to resell won't make much since they are still available at the moment lol
 
One thing I'm really stoked about with these: the blade appears to be of a reasonable thickness. So those of who plan to put there's to use will rejoice over the fact that it may actually have a reasonable thickness behind the edge!

It's all about how many are sold. The fact that you can put one in your cart and reserve it for 15 minutes means it's gonna take a few hours to actually sell them all because of squatters.

Not now, but in a couple weeks I predict the price will be +$800. ZT has been good at not re-releasing limiters so they go up. Just look at the original 0777 and 0888.

I got my confirmation email so my 0454 is coming. That freaking 15min ticker does freak me out, wtf does my name have to be so hard to type.

I had a chance at a 0777 damascus for $1000 and passes, not making that mistake again. I'm on the Zt hype train. Plus their knives are phenomenal now, 0562 is as good as customs.
 
Double post.....

Btw, what is everyone's thoughts on how the new Zt limited policy work tonight? I like it, besides some glitches since this is their first time.

There's probably some sadistic dork cycling through multiple methods to keep them tied up.

As a good friend put it...if you can't afford "full service" in the champagne room, clear the way for someone who can.

I think what you said is true and the only reason they are still available. Some jerks tied them up and people get frustrated not being able to add to cart and quit. It took me 30mins of constant add to cart to get mine. Some also probably didn't know about the relisting
