Hi! I'm new here to the Spyderco forum page. I guess I joined up because I found folks that are crazy about Spyderco knives as much as I am. I had a question for you guys: I'm currently looking at spending $85.00 on a 'bug' model "Q" knife. I found it on the eBay action, and I watched it go from $19.00 right up to $76.00.
I hopped in the fray, and threw a bid in for $85.00. I have wanted to get one of these guys for a LONG time. I have read some of the articles you guys have posted, and I guess if you could tell me if this is a good price, of if I should let them out bid me, I would appreciate it. I am a big fan if Spyderco knives, and would love to collect as many as I can.
Hey thanks!

Hard question to answer. Depends on your money situation and the availability. You can do a search on ebay for completed auctions to see what they have been going for and then how many are coming up. I see 4 of them coming due on 12/11.

Thank you, Hoosierdaddy, for the info. on the "Q". I found that place in Texas that was recommeded in the forum that offered the "Q" in the 'HK' style. I think it was going for $55.00. The "Q" I bidded on is going out tomorrow night. I guess I was a bit hasty on that one........Oh well, It will be worth it. Man, 85.00 bucks.......
Thank you also, Chinook, for the helpful counsel. I have gotten a lot from just reading into the feedback from the different members. You guys are great.
I didn't even know that Spyderco made a pink cricket until I started reading some of the letters! This is some good stuff.
Thank you!

Hold everything partner..Don't touch your mouse unless you are clicking through to this link:

$55.00 for a rare NIB Q-Knife and no bidding.
Myself and Lsaulog both scored one today. I'm guessing they have more. Click on order, call the 800 number, talk to the salesman.
Good Luck.

In general, disregard any error messages you get using this script. Messages always goes through first time unless you forgot to input your USR Name or PW. Hit refresh to read it.
Now, to clean-up the mess, just click on the magnifying glass icon above each erronious post and edit-out(deleate) all that redundant text. Just drop in an "oops" and that should help readers a bit.
Give me all your passwords and I'll take care of it for you (just kiddin')

Been there, done that........

Well, the auction is over, and I missed getting the "Q" by 1 dollar. Yup, I missed getting a fully serrated 'Bug' model by 100 hundred pennys. Ah, life is tough.
Truth be told, I guess I didn't really want to chuck out $86 anyway.
I am now looking at getting the Meerkat. I have priced 'em, and found that 'newgraham' knife center has them the cheapest. $37.42,
I think. I know the other places I checked had it for 37.95, which isn't all bad either.
I was wondering though, is the Meerkat one of those designs that will likely go out of production? I wouldn't mind having one anyway, what with the new 'phantom lock' to boot.
PS. In response to Tightwad's question, I guess I would enjoy a nice cut with the Spydercard. I already sliced myself good with it, so I got a idea what it will feel like.......anyway, what kind of question was that???
