Just remember, the vast majority of us wouldn't have even had a chance at 2nds so unless you planning on showing up in person I'd say you're out nothing.

I just ordered a Parata out of frustration. At least it was easy to get.
I feel so bad for it. It's lasted two drops now! I have one in my cart, but I don't want it bad enough to pay shipping for it. If it lasts till the next drop and there's something else I want, I'll get one. Otherwise, it just wasn't meant to be.

A buddy of mine wanted to try a Parata, and so did I. He was a bit short today, so I just ordered 2 - saved the shipping and we both get to try these for about half of street price. Can't complain about that! I was a little surprised it took so long to sell out, but on the other hand, it's an odd shape and some people just aren't going to dig it.

My experience is that sometimes designs I have doubts about really shine in the hand, and I love trying new lock designs. I buy designs by other makers just to try different locks or unique designs. The only thing that kept me from grabbing a Parata was the price, and dropping to 108 bucks sealed the deal, so now I have a stop lock coming. Stoked!

I also have been growing more curious about the Respect, which looks amazing but was a little steep for me. At the seconds price, I couldn't pass it up. Will get a sheath made at some point, or maybe I'll make one myself.

For those of you that successfully ordered, was there a confirmation email? If so, how long before it showed up?
Almost immediately.
In that case, I'm guessing I did NOT in fact score a Maxamet PM2. Oh well. I was really looking for a deal on a Manix variant or some H1 stuff anyways...

I understand. Buy anything so you don't get nothing. I find it funny, but I totally get it.
I feel bad for the Parata too. It is a cool knife, but very niche, too much so for the price, for me. I hope whoever gets one loves it though, and I think it is a good possibility.

Wouldn't your buddy be the same height every day?

Couple of times per day. I think yesterday was three drops....noon, three or so, and 6-7.

Hey MFlovejp, I didn't get a confirmation until the next day. So there is still hope. Best of luck.

If it going well for Spyderco then good and I am genuinely happy about that but I can’t be the only one having issues.
You aren't.


I had to remind myself that this is an inventory reduction sale.... I don't like going to liquidation sales or black friday or any other hurry up and find a deal before they are gone events...

It was nice to load the website last night and buy the bandanas and the t shirt I truly wanted instead of fighting the digital gods to get my order in for something I'm not sure I even really want. When we are able to go in person I look forward to shopping the seconds sale. But I agree this is a bit of a bummer and I'm sure they wish they had an answer to the madness.




This reminds me of registering for classes or trying to get season football tickets as an Auburn student in the early days of colleges transitioning to online

Dang...those Shamans went by like magic. Tsk. Got a Para 3 as a compensation, but sigh... oh well.

Hah! I did it! Jammed a blurple through checkout which triggered an automatic Parata purchase. And really, shame on you all for being so mean to the Parata! I know it looks weird as ****, but can't you see that handle just melting into your hand? I gotta give it a shot.

Congrats! Lol at 100+ it's still to rich and niche for me . :)

Bummed out at how the Shaman really didn't last 2 minutes. Haha. Oh boy another item on my list gone.

I even saw the recaptcha logo in the corner, so I hope it's holding some boys - unable to finish my checkouts

I just want a regular Shaman but thought I'd take a stab at the orange 45... no joy.
