Missed the boat one the Slysz Bowie

I’m really disappointed in that and it being discontinued. I was moving into a new house and just couldn’t justify it.

Anybody aware of any smaller outlets that might still have one?

I was surprised how quickly they disappeared after the announcement too. Your best bet at this point is probably watching for a used one. I'm guessing anyone with a NIB example is looking to profit.

Yeah, they are going quick on The Exchange. I’m keeping my eyes open, but I was hoping someone had a secret. Haha

Yikes, but thanks for the heads up! I think I’ll have to wait for a used one at that price. I still appreciate it!

I think I waited 3 days after I saw the announcement of it being discontinued that I finally decided to pony up the cash for one. By that time it was sold out everywhere I looked. It has been on my Want list for a while but I wasn't able to really justify the price. Regreting it now. Still want the Spydiechef .

Alright, that makes never feels bit better then. I’m obviously way late. Just wondering with this type of demand if another run wasn’t warranted.

I think they languished for a while on shelves due to the expectation that they'd always be around. why buy now if you can get a cheaper, more exciting sprint first?

then the announcement happened, and those who needed em got em.
