Re: BBS DLC Paramilitary 2 Exclusive?
Every dealer except Bento is stupid for underpricing their exclusives.

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.

Nope you forgot the first batch..they were $149.95 each and $139.95 each if you bought 2..
Re: BBS DLC Paramilitary 2 Exclusive?
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?RamZar wrote: ↑Sat Aug 17, 2019 10:20 pmThe 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.
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.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

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

To me it was worth it. Ordered Friday and received it today. Installed a MXG black deep carry clip and it is ready to EDC!

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