For some reason i can’t find the post on the FB and when I try to go through the link it says it’s possibly broken or deleted now. I’ll take your word for it. Thanks for the answer. I appreciate it!

It's important to reiterate that this sale will indeed be unlike any we've ever done. It's also extremely important to understand that some things are beyond our control. Regardless of planning, following every guideline to a tee, and all of the best practices, the truth is, it could get cancelled or closed at any time.

We're dealing with things (all of us, you included) that no one has had to do before. We're literally living history every day. All we can do is our best to follow the requirements and ask that you do the same.

As soon as we have everything finalized, and we have the necessary approvals (city, county, state), we'll post announcements. We know how important the Seconds Sale is. It's one of our favorite events all year. Hang in there with us.

Good to know you're still doing your best to have the sale. Everyone's just going to have to flexible. Hope it works out well for you. I've always wanted to attend one of these events but it won't be this year. If I'm going travel all the way to CO I want to it when there aren't all these restrictions

Right and if you are not a member of the group or if you are but aren't signed in to facebook you wouldn't see it because it is not a public post. You have to be admitted by admin to see posts in groups that are not public

Yes, you are correct, it is a private group. You probably weren't aware but I happen to know that the person you responded to is a member of that group. He's also a moderator of two of the other FB groups that celebrate Spyderco. So I'm pretty sure he knew he had to be logged in.

Lots of people follow threads without posting I was providing context for why I wasn't able to see it either. I'm not sure why you are challenging and calling to question... Seems petty so I'll move along

Maybe there can be a preferred cheapskate list (I want to be on this list) that can get a list of what is for sale and it has to be bought sight unseen? I have a few knives that I would love to own that I don’t care about a minor blemish etcetera.

You do know that NZ is probably the best place in the world right now to have the SECONDS SALE? :)

The sight unseen is the best way to offer a decent price with the lowest exposure. no haggle, no exposure and no returns and everyone wins.

I agree fully and almost made the same comment. The one thing that’s a constant during the seconds sales (which sadly I’ve only experienced once when they ran a mini version at a recent OKCA show in Eugene) is the sight of folks going through the racks of seconds picking out the best “non-lemons”. The happiest customers are those that find ones that have really minimal flaws to them, or are easily fixable or one just doesn’t care about the particular minor imperfection it might have. That said, there are a few in the racks truly worthy of getting the lemonade pitcher out for along with the sugar and water because they would likely still be sitting in the rack at the end of the day. I just imagine the need for social distancing required for a 2020 in-person seconds sale in Golden will make for a very long day indeed for the Spyderco crew.

And you're heading into Summer down there. ;) If there is a Seconds Sale in Golden next month, who knows what the weather will be like here. In about a week the forecast in this part of Colorado is for rain/snow with days in the high 30's (F). (~3° C) :eek:

You guys definitely need some more rain and snow right now to knock down the fires. I'm in Oregon and we had more than our fair share of them recently, and I nearly had to evacuate my family (my sincere condolences to everyone impacted by these fires across the West this season). Of course, 4 out of 5 of the Top Places to live in the US this year were in the Front Range including good ol' Fort Collins (home of the Rams!). :)
