Looks like I'm out this round then. That's a bummer.
I guess so. I doubt Iβm gonna just as luckily be staring at my phone next time.steelcity16 wrote: βWed Aug 19, 2020 11:24 pm
The only ones who got their orders in early enough were probably the bots. These are about to be $1000 on eBay. :rolleyes:

Not all of them went to bots. I happened to see the email right after it landed in my inbox and got my order in quickly enough. Sometimes it's just pure dumb luck, not a bot.steelcity16 wrote: βWed Aug 19, 2020 11:24 pm

Yea I think it's likely that there won't even be a second "drop" for their next batch. They might all be going to fill these cancellations.steelcity16 wrote: βWed Aug 19, 2020 10:59 pmThat's a LOT of people who are going to be bummed. They said we will be first in line for the next batch, but I wonder if the next batch will even be large enough given how long they were available for sale while actually being sold out? :eek:

It's a neat knife only because of the FDE coating. It's still just a PM2. If I'm able to get one when they have more available I'll be happy. If I'm not able to get one for some reason I'll still be happy. Life's too short to get bummed out over not getting another PM2
Smart man, plus you still have the original great OD Green/DLC (also a favorite of mine as well) That has to take the sting out of it a bit! Though, I would probably be a little upset had I received order confirmation just to have it be taken away. But like you said...it's still just another PM2Sharp Guy wrote: βThu Aug 20, 2020 7:21 amWell this explains why they were available for much longer than expected. Easy come easy go. Stuff happens.

I'd like to think we have a (mostly) mature and respectful group here, especially when compared to other parts of the internet. I wonder though, how much the shiny footprints policy influenced comments here.steelcity16 wrote: βThu Aug 20, 2020 7:36 amSharp Guy wrote: βThu Aug 20, 2020 7:21 amWell this explains why they were available for much longer than expected.

Its funny how the fine folks on this forum are like "bummer", "life goes on", "easy come easy go", when on Facebook and IG there's about to be a bunch of profanity laced tirades from the entitlement generation who didn't get their shiny object and the flipper scum who are mad they had to cancel their eBay listings that they were about to make $200+ on. :rolleyes:
Yea good point there, it definitely would be the grail PM2 for many people...BUT, there appears to be more opportunities in the future. After this cluster mess here though, I'm wondering how this will turn out. Amazing it wasn't even a scheduled drop that people knew of ahead of time and this still happened. I'm bummed that people here that would give some feedback on the coating ended up missing out after thinking they got one. So onto the next run...when and how many!?!steelcity16 wrote: βThu Aug 20, 2020 7:47 amTkoK83Spy wrote: βThu Aug 20, 2020 7:41 amSmart man, plus you still have the original great OD Green/DLC (also a favorite of mine as well) That has to take the sting out of it a bit!

Yeah, luckily it was "just another PM2" to most of us on here. It stinks if that was your grail knife though. I wanted it to check out the PVD coating, but I don't really care much about another PM2. The Cru-ple one from DLT was the first one I have had in probably 2 years. I carry the Seki FRN stuff these days. Now had this been a Cru-ple Endura, I would be a little heated.. :D
