Has anyone notice that some of these are being auctioned up to 350 bucks! I understand since it really is kind of hard to get but wow about that price so soon...

I know, it's pretty crazy already. I'm hoping that the price will inflate so much that if collectors like us decide to sell ours for whatever reason, we'll be able to capitalize on the sale. I'm betting it gets to be as "must have" as the USN Endura.

Better not wait too long if you plan to sell incase they hear about the 2nd run Jon mentioned.

Mine arrived today. Not quite as loose as the Orange Sprint from CS, but it'll get there. The smooth GITD scales are really different to hold, too--most every other Spydie I have has a grip of sorts, except for the UKPK CF and the Lum CF.

Really glad I was able to order this last week. I thought that I'd missed out on this sprint run for sure!

Nice picture! The smooth scales were quite different to me too. I've grown to like them though.

I wanted to post up that these are available and yesterday Jon put some (100) up on the storefront for people to purchase.

So, don't rush out and pay $240ish for a second hand one, when you can buy one new for a little more than half the second hand price.

Here is a link to the store to help make it easier. He posted an update that 40 disappeared, so 60ish left.

Thanks for the heads up Donut. I decided to pull the trigger on one. Just too cool to pass up.

No problem, thanks for supporting Spyderco and EDC Forums. I think the faster Jon sells them and gets them out of his hands, the better it will be for him and for the run.

Also, since I know you won't be able to resist showing it off, thanks for spreading some knowledge about EDC Forums. :) It's a good showoff piece.

I know he didn't get all of them at one time. I heard about the first shipment of 200.

I had a hard time believing they were selling for $250+ when the exclusive wasn't even sold out. How does that work? Anyways, give it a couple weeks or a month and we'll probably see it go back to normal. I think they were selling for crazy amounts because there was confusion/misinformation about the status of them.
