I was not far off from you. Was excited for the week leading up to this, hoping to get a Shaman I missed last years sale and maybe even a box. That Yojimbo for $53 was going to be mine too.SaltyCaribbeanDfly wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:53 amHey Kristi,
Well I was fired up for my first ever Seconds Sale but unfortunately things didn’t work out for many of us, but I’d like to apologize for my little rant…after I had a sleepless night anticipating this event I made the mistake of not paying attention to the fact that the sale started in “MDT” time…then things went downhill from there with the heat outside and no shade to be found, chainsaws that wouldn’t crank,the trout bite slow, the Braves losing,and then finally logging in to see only a couple knives I wanted but no sheaths…long story short-just a BAD f’n day, but we all have them and we all handle adversity differently…I’m pretty patient until things snowball, then I usually just call it a day and go to my safe haven - a river, a tree stand, the garden or whatever and I tell myself it is what it is and even tho I hate that saying it’s right as rain…I’ve only been a real knife owner since late 2021 and I’ve had and for the most part sold everything but my Spydercos of which I believe is 31?…anyway y’all aren’t the only ones that need to be apologizing on these threads, some of us need to MAN UP and do the same so that’s what I’m doing right now…I’ve only really had one little problem and you, Kristi fixed it immediately so I thank you for that and for being a stand-up person…we’ll get em’ next time and I will NOT be working…see you at 9 EDT
But leading up to the sale my 18 month old refrigerator broke, took a day off work only to have the warranty repair man tell me it was broken but parts were tbd back ordered, no repairs. Then my 3 week old $800 Ego lawnmower broke on my 4th use. Ego told me they could do nothing check with the store I got it at.
Add the Spyderco sale that was excited and then 6 hours of nothing. All added to a rough mood for me to say the least. Does not help built myself up so much for this event.
