:eek: Yeah, I saw that. I really can't believe the ZDP Caly is already demanding that kind of $$$! :eek: I knew it would gain in value, but almost triple the MSRP :eek: that's insane!

I remember seeing stuff like this when I was into collecting comics.

Prices on a certain item would soar. Then about six months to a year and a half later they went back down. It also happened with the Spyderhawk some months back. We created a hawkbill craze, and the Spyderhawk was reaching the $200 range. Then it dropped back down to it's more realistic price range. Hard to tell if that will happen with the ZDP Caly Jr. It is a one of a kind. Even newer sprint runs of the Jess Horn, and ZDP Delica may not do it. I think the only thing that might stop such action would be anotherZDP Caly Jr. run.
First they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not stand up, because I was not a Trade Unionist.

I don't think it's a fluke another sold for 237 and another is at 180 with 2days left. It's just what they're selling for. The price will only continue to rise because nobody is ever going to have them in stock again. The bay is the only way these people are going to get one it seems.

If I only had bought 5 or six of them instead of just one! If I had a couple, I would be selling them right now :D This bid is just crazy...

Cheers, Rob

One way to look at it. There are Billions of dollars in the world. Billions. So what money is worth is just money. But there are only 1200 Caly JRS ZDP in the world. Only 1200!! If you want one, you got to step up and pay. That is why in the future, I think any low production highly desirable knife will go for all the money. The price may come down a little bit in the years to come...BUT how much. 25th anniversary Delicas still hover around 450 to 500 hundred, down only a little from there peak of about 650. I think the Anniversary Delica to be the most desirable of all Spydercos due to ED's masterful damascus bolsters!

The prices are just silly!! I am so glad that I got my 2. I use one every day, and the other is a back up in case this one gets lost or something!! And if I was to get rid of the second one, I would be inclined to just give it away! I could NOT in good conscience sell if for those outrageous prices!!

Very noble Collector. I would enjoy one more so let me know I would appreciate your charity :p Sure the prices are high but it's just others out there with the addiction. To some two hundred dollars is alot of money but to others it's a rather inexpensive way to own something with a ZDP blade.

Just make more.
This is simple - Sal, make another production run!
Except make them slightly different, like no color on the BUG, DIFFERENT CLIP, etc.

I would like to have one, but not at those prices. You may say, why didn't you get one when they were cheep? Well, I was in the middle of Hurricane Rita clean up and was financially strapped.

Alright call me a sellout, but if somebody offered my $250 for my extra Caly ZDP it would be sold in a second. Besides, I still have my user Caly with beadblasted clip.

Are you sure, those guys are notorious for listings they don't have. I have called them several times for knives listed in stock only to find out NADA :( !

I talked to them about 20 minutes ago and they had 10-15 in stock. I ordered two last week that will be here soon.

Dan is the guy to talk to.
