Me:OK. If it turns out to be a scam are we protected under amazon?

Regardless this will be interesting to see how it goes. I went back for seconds. Fingers crossed.

To the OP, how did you find out about the deal?

Assuming this turns out ok, I will probably only keep one or two and gift/sell the others, but this was an awesome opportunity to try out the models I'd been wanting to for a while like the Zulu and the Sage 3. Wish the PPT was in there.

Although, I'm talking like I'm actually going to end up with some of these. I anticipate refund for pricing errors.

Shucks, I was hoping to get a Caly 3 in ZDP/CF on the cheap. Doesn't look like it. :(

Good score for the rest of you guys though. ;)

I ordered about 25-ish knives this morning. Just a frenzy of buying, wasn't even keeping track of them all I was ordering so fast.

I HIGHLY suspect that Seek Gear sent Amazon some digital file in which the pricing was all messed up. As I scanned their offers, some products were as radically OVER priced as some were under priced. So I suspect a data file error.

I also suspect my order will be cancelled as will most of yours.

But if it isn't, I just bought probably $1,500-$2,000 worth of quality knives for about $400.

I jumped on this also this morning, I was searching for a Ti Military and they had it for $66 pre-order which I placed separately.

Then I looked through their storefront and saw a boatload of Spydercos for crazy prices. After reading the Amazon A-to-z guarantee thoroughly, I added:
  • Spyderco Military Model Titanium PlainEdge Knife (preorder): $66.34
  • Spyderco Dragonfly2 Brithish Racing Green FRN ZDP-189 PlainEdge Knife: $21.22
  • Spyderco Caly 3.5 Black G-10 PlainEdge Knife: $20.00
  • Spyderco Native5 G-10 PlainEdge Knife: $17.24
  • Spyderco C39P&SBG Mini Dyad Dual Blades Folding Knife: $17.24
  • Spyderco Endura4 Lightweight FRN Flat Ground PlainEdge Knife (Blue): $10.66
  • Spyderco Endura 4 Foliage Green Model # C10SFG: $16.76
  • Spyderco Endura4 Lightweight FRN Flat Ground PlainEdge Knife (Gray): $16.76
All of these are now in the "Shipping Soon" state (including the pre-order) which means I can't cancel through Amazon.

There are really only 4 possibilities:
  1. A real seller who intends to ship these orders at a loss with the intention of pumping up their feedback for their store, and the loss is essentially their marketing budget
  2. A real seller who made a pricing mistake (in which case, the seller is generally not required to honor the pricing), won't ship anything, and refunds the money
  3. A scammer who will ship nothing
  4. A scammer who will ship fake Spydercos or empty boxes to delay the claims process enough to run away with the money
For those who participated in this, we will need to keep in mind the timeframes that Amazon sets up:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/ ... 83670#when
  • Contact the seller first
  • Seller failed to deliver by 3 days past the maximum estimated delivery date or 30 days from the order date, whichever is sooner
  • You received the item, but the item was defective, damaged, or not the item depicted in the seller's description
  • If your order fails to arrive, you have 60 days to file an A-to-Z claim
  • If you receive your item, and it is damaged, defective, or materially different, you must contact the seller within 14 days to request return information

I also suspect that our orders will get cancelled. Oh well. If the knives arrive though, it's going to be a good Christmas for my friends and family.

Great prices. I am really glad and thankful that you guys brought my attention today to amazon. I wanted CF Balance, but hesitated to pull a trigger. Today I bought it from Amazon for $86 shipped, not a bad price in my opinion.
And Spyderhawk fro $20 from the same seller as everybody :o :)

I did the same. I put a Gayle Bradley model in my cart and literally went back to double check I wasn't ordering just some parts kit or scales or SOMETHING besides the real knife. I placed that order as a one-off. Then found others and ordered another order. Then another. Then a FOURTH. The fourth dip was just me being greedy. If the orders aren't cancelled (huge "if") and eBay prices hold I could sell off a small fraction of these and pay for my whole order.

I snagged two Zulus, two Assist's, and a Tasman Salt SE. I lost out on a Millie camo to one of you guys because I was too slow. :)

I should've got another SpyderPac because I'm going to need it thanks to this forum. :D

Put in an order for a few, we'll see what happens. FYI Salt I is $4.

If anyone hears from the seller please let us know, UN-answered emails are painful.

I have not heard back from them, I have sent 2 emails. The seller seems to be updating their store, so this is kind of disheartening. no orders from me yet. Misse out on the p'kal, went fast. Manixs and persians and zulus still in good supply though. Might snag a few if the guy gets back to us...
