Spyderco Forums

I'm beginning to think that Bento Box might have the right idea here.

at least all of the flippers are having to work now for that $40 profit...their hourly profit is going down to near burger flipping levels :D

Where do you see a "$40" profit for ANYONE that sells a sprint? If Joe blow pays $150 and sells for $250, that's $100. Doesn't matter if he bought 1 or 4

You would have to pay $25 in Ebay fees. So $75 profit...and that's if Joe Blow were willing to pay $250 in the first place, with the additional taxes added to Ebay now. I'm telling ya, flippers aren't going to be nearly as successful on Ebay anymore. Unless $20-$40 really gets your jollies.

Thanks! I am trying a few different browsers and they're showing the same errors.

Back on the site with a coming soon page. 9:54. I guess the word really got out about this one.

5 more minutes for me, then I leave them all for you guys. A redundant pocket knife is not worth this time waste.

I didn't even want one of these, but now I kind of do...it's like an elusive unicorn. Would feel like an honor to come away with one haha.

Gotcha. Didn't realize eBay charged 10%! For $20-40 I'd rather keep said knife. :)

I'm not after this knife, I just came to watch the madness. I have been fully entertained for an hour. The suspense!

I don't care about this drop, so the issues aren't raising my blood pressure. But if anyone from DLT is reading this thread later, you should be a bit more proactive about letting people know what's going on.

I checked their Instagram feed and the post there about the drop has lots of angry comments, but (AFAIK) no response from DLT. I checked their Twitter feed, and it hasn't been updated since 2018! I finally checked their Facebook page (I don't do FB myself, so it's not something I check right away) and they DID post a terse update there:

DLT Trading
23 mins (7/17/19, 9:36AM)
Right now our servers are down.
We are not taking orders over the phone but we are answering your calls.
We are working on addressing this situation as it develops.
We appreciate your understanding and apologize for the inconveniences!

So I guess FB is the place to check for more updates: https://www.facebook.com/DLTTrading/

EDIT @ 10:15AM PDT: They just added an update to the Instagram feed saying basically "we're down, more info later": https://www.instagram.com/p/B0BpvzPgVvq/

Word is they are going to have a new 'start time' for the PM2

Your word? So we can all go back to work and you get your precious extra knife to flip this Christmas? Sure thing...refresh...refresh...refresh...

I'm out, they are all yours! Good luck.

This was like one of those carnival rides that spins you around, fun for minute, then you just want to get off.

Finally up !

I just ordered two.

Just kidding. :D

The site seems more responsive. A good sign perhaps. Back to being slow. 10:06. Coming soon, 10:07. Coming soon 10:11. Refresh.
