In MRI brain studies the areas that light up when placing a bet and when winning a bet are indistinguishable. That's why gambling is so addictive for many and why I had a good time placing orders yesterday.

Yeah, I think they're writing the letter they're going to send and in the mean time they are scared to talk to anyone.

Ya'll do what you want. But I personally doubt the emails will help at all. And continually begging them to honor their sale just reinforces what a bath they are taking.

As of 4:30pm Central time, no updates. No shipping confirmation or cancellation. It's starting to smell like incompetence. I'm not worried about my money, however. Amazon will make it right. But I plan to just wait this one out.

I've had Amazon Marketplace orders cancelled before and was given a complimentary bucket full of Jack Squat. That's all we'll get on this one too.

Lol. You're funny :) . Yeah, I wasn't trying to bother them about the deals. I emailed them once to see if I could sway endura colors, once to ask them about breaking up my order b/c it had some items that were available meow and some that were pre-order and once the show them this thread.

Granted that last one could probably fall into the reminding them what a bath they're taking category. I guess they all could really. Oops. Either way, I don't typically get lightning fast responses from Amazon third party sellers. In this case I def never expected to. They probably have their hands a little full at the moment.

probaly just a little :D

jossta · #208

Yeah, kinda an understatement

. I'm with Sequimite though, I had fun just ordering. Most of my fun comes from finding deals and seeing them at my door. Most of them leave my door also, but it helps me figure out what I really like. Don't expect to get anything out of this.

And yes, I know I have a problem...

right: the most fun is to find the treasure or win a bet. So if all our orders will be cancelled, even better: we had fan and it didn't cost us anything. :) :D
Kind of having excitement for free.
IIRC Hemingway had a short story about old ugly guy having fun with waitress on rail-road station, asking her to go with him upstairs and offering hundreds of $$, knowing in advance, that there are no rooms there.
But I still will get my CF Balance for $86 shipped from Amazon :) :D

Just got my emails from Amazon saying my orders are canceled.

Simple Man · #212

Order canceled, just got the notice. :eek: :eek: :cool:

No explanation.

Spyharpy · #213

Mine was canceled too. No explanations of why. I was anticipating this.

Just got the same e-mail.

But we had fun (and I still will get CF Balance for $86 shipped).

marcdurant · #216

Yep, same here. Was a fun ride, though.

jossta · #217

Rutgrr · #218

Just checked and I got the same email. Oh well.

knife nut404 · #219

one of my knives was canceld but the other one is still their

Now the question is how many of us that placed orders in hopes for some Spyderco gold are now going to spend money on knives elsewhere we normally would not have before the fun began yesterday? Stunts like this leave people wanting more. It might prove lucrative afterall for Spyderco and other knife vendors.
