Seconds sale 2022
Re: Seconds sale 2022
Load times are extended which I can understand. Managed to get some knives into my cart.
Some confusion on my end about my password…
Now my account has been suspended for 5 hrs.
I’ll leave it for now.
Edit, tried again with success. Now I wait…
A big thanks to everyone at Spyderco.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
It was slow but I had no problem to check out with the Native 5. Huge thank you to Spyderco and everyone who put this together. Hope I get one of the better functioning examples, not worried about cosmetics.

It’s nice to be able to see them yourself. Lots of the knives have almost no flaws.
Only purchased one seconds, it appeared perfect, but the edge could contact a standoff if closed a little too hard. Perfectly useable if you were careful. Nice that Spyderco is quick to reject even the slightest flaws. But I stay away from seconds; those little things keep reminding me that if I'd paid a bit more, I'd not have to deal with the issue.
I'd buy seconds in person, if I could inspect; but not otherwise.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
I only have 3 knives that are seconds (I think) and I got lucky on all. All were purchased blind, two have absolutely no flaws that I can find and one has a tiny dot on the blade that I couldn't even find for a couple days. Hopefully the PITS will be just as nice
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: Seconds sale 2022
Lmao, what a fun little flash sale. I missed the in person sale but still came to Golden and bought a knife. But when the sale popped up today, I could not resist grabbing a Native 5 in Maxamet to put under the tree for my better half!

Re: Seconds sale 2022
I didn't see the blue PITS that I've been watching this sale. I know it had gone through at least two Sales. Action as smooth as 40 grit sandpaper. I almost bought it last year, but threw it back in favor of one with different (easier to fix) issues.
Sometimes the flaw is obvious, but most of mine I couldn't tell you what the problem was supposed to be.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
Funny, I tried to purchase the same. My luck wasn't so good. It was a nice, unexpected surprise. I'm glad for those that were able to complete their purchases.
I did well at the in person Sale, so I'm not complaining.
Re: Seconds sale 2022
To clarify, the final pricing is the same. The difference is the tax that is calculated during checkout. Factory seconds sold in person have tax calculated into the pricing - that saves us some time during the checkout process and keeps things moving efficiently. The factory seconds sold online today have the appropriate taxes added during checkout. We didn't lower anything for what we offered online.
I hope this clears up that confusion.

There is nothing more important than this one day.
Re: Seconds sale 2022
I think it's a good thing I didn't see this until latter. Some very tempting offers especially the Manix's. Almost went for an Urban Ivory but I did get a PITS and Byrd.

So it's you who took the last Shaman out of my basket!!!Lumpy620 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 1:00 pmTook almost an hour, but way less time out then the last online seconds sale. Very cool surprise when I got the notification, luckily Monday is conference call day @ work so I had plenty of uninterrupted time.
Picked up a PITS and a plain-jane Shaman, which I justified was a necessity when I realized I don't currently own a stainless Shaman.

I am sure you had some hard work put into this sale. From everyone that could not make the second sale a big thank you, it was awesome. Got a Native 5 in Maxamet and I am extremely excited. Checkout was slow but smooth and reliable, no major issues.
Put in a good word for me and have them send me a nice one.
Thanks

Re: Seconds sale 2022
Looks like it's down to six models. I'm a little surprised the Stovepipe is still there when so many people seemed to say they'd get one if it was cheaper. OTOH for $50 more you can get the ..first(?) right now, so maybe that's part of it.
Re: Seconds sale 2022
After about 90mins of epic battle with the server and my account not accepting the password I have saved in my phone during checkout. The website won and I gave up. All I wanted was any Paramilitary 2. Maybe next time if they do this again. They can do it on a another platform. Maybe do it staggered through out the day so people have to really commit to wanting a deal!

It does help to clear up my confusion. I was not accounting for sales tax online.TazKristi wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 3:25 pmTo clarify, the final pricing is the same.

Thank you for clarifying that for me, Kristi.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
It is very exciting to have a couple super premium steel knives coming that I will not feel the need to baby. My diamond stones can’t wait! Enduring the server lag, having to fill out forms repeatedly wasn’t easy but totally worth it. Thanks Spyderco, for giving us a shot at the seconds sale online!
Re: Seconds sale 2022
Thank you to all at Spyderco for the chance at some seconds online.
The great 2nds war of 2020 was what got me into my first few Spydercos and I'm slowly switching out all my others now. My trip to the factory store this summer sealed the deal, and now I'm a fan boy lol.
I managed to get a Manix and somehow a mule in my cart. Had a G10 in there but ended up with a FRC... some wonkiness but I did have 2 different phones trying to get the pages to load.
We'll see what I actually get I guess.
Thanks again for the opportunity.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
Thanks Spyderco for having another online sale. My first Spyderco seconds was in 2020 online. Caught it right about the start time. Yes, there was some lag and everytime I came back to the main page, another new item was offered. I completed two orders just in case something went out of stock while in my cart. Timed out a few times. Not bad for mobile service, 5g and 2021 Android phone. Thanks again for the hard work Spyderco! Appreciate the second online Seconds sale.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
Picked up a ZDP 189 Mule from the sale…sweet
Threw a UpTern plainedge in for company. (Don’t like knives travelling by themselves)
Glad on the wallet the mayhem was over by the time I woke up Tuesday morning in Australia

Re: Seconds sale 2022
Found the second sale while i was picking up my Girlfriend from here job. When i got home 20 minuts later everything i really wanted was already gone. So i thought i would buy something else.
Just to try buying something in the states for once.
There i found out i have never made an account. So i tried to do that but the site was so slow and buggy it was like trying to buy tickets for Tomorrowland... ( big music festival in Belgium ) Took me 2 hours to register. By then offcoarse everything i thought i would want to try was gone aswel. So Hope they do it again next year.
