Every dealer except Bento is stupid for underpricing their exclusives.

Like most millennials, I was forced to sign a blood oath to be the most entitled person anywhere I go, and to make it known in every conversation I'm a part of.

Since joining this forum I've come to see that others are doing a far better job, and I need to step it up to make my millennial quota.

I've decided to fix the BBS issue once and for all. I just called my mom, in which I went into great detail how it's not fair that DLT offers free shipping and better pricing. Life should be fair. She assured me she would make some phone calls and I fully expect this local business be wiped off the map along with the rest of the local businesses my generation has destroyed.

Don't worry guys, be glad a millennial is finally here to fix these great injustices to our community. You're welcome.

M390 is an import compared to 20cv, but the Satin/Red G10 M390 PM2 was only $140 if I remember correctly.
It was $159.25. :)
Nope you forgot the first batch..they were $149.95 each and $139.95 each if you bought 2..

The problem arises when BBS is allowed to offer dealer exclusives which takes away from other dealers offering them at much better prices with much better terms and customer service.

This year there have already been two dealer exclusives from BBS! That’s a lot when you consider much better dealers like BladeHQ with 4, KnifeCenter with 3, DLT with 3 and St. Nick’s with 1.
Sorry but I can't agree with this. BBS is a Spyderco dealer, their money's as green as anybody's, If they have the money to commission an exclusive how could Spyderco say no?

I just don't understand all the whinging every time BBS has an exclusive. I don't like paying more for something I want. If I don't like the price of something, the terms, or the service it's my choice whether or not to buy it. We make those choices every day. I did end up buying a M390 Para 3 from BBS. I didn't really like the price but I really wanted the blue M390 version. I was well aware of the terms going into it. I received a nice knife that's become my favorite Para 3. I've long since forgotten that I'd paid extra for it and I carry it more than any of the other exclusives I bought from other dealers at lower prices. Yeah it was like $40+ more than comparable knives but I've wasted more money on worse things.

If they had coated the liners black, I'd have had no choice but to buy. But I'm saved by my OCD.

That looks really nice. Mine gets here tomorrow. I really hope they do a Para 3 in dlc soon. My favorite color combo so far.

I have to say that I really like that blue/black combo. I think I actually like it better than the red/black. Hmm...
