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...

If it makes you feel any better, I'm 90+% sure this is a big waste of time anyway. It appears to be a pricing mistake and unless order fulfillment is done quickly by some company worker-bee who doesn't check against pricing, the orders will be cancelled.

I've just rechecked some products and sure enough many of them are no longer available. So that at least tends to show that Amazon is logging the inventory purchases. But, again, if Seek Gear sent Amazon a bogus pricing file then it's just as likely the inventory data was also messed up, and VERY likely the orders will be cancelled, with refund to buyers.

The debits hit my bank account within about 45 min of purchase, but that doesn't mean much. When I see the orders marked as SHIPPED with a valid tracking number then I'll allow myself considerably more optimism.

It seems some models have been added, and others quantity refreshed though...

It's a brand new seller. I suspect the seller doesn't know what they're doing and, like I said, won't honor the orders.

If they do, then I'll enjoy the following very much!

If they are having this mouch trouble getting prices set on their store, imagine the fun they will have trying to fill all our orders and get them shipped correctly. :)

Yes. Good point.

I've always had a good experience with Amazon refunds or disputes and never heard of anybody flat out getting ripped off. But, then, I have had marketplace sellers cancel an order. Once a seller cancelled the order due to "out of stock" and then immediately relisted it at a higher price. I suspect Seek Gear will do the same. But you NEVER really know for sure, do you?

I must have been late to the party, as I never saw the Native5, Caly 3.5, or Gayle Bradley. I added a Sage 3 to the basket, but they disappeared before I checked out. Oh well, can't complain about the fantastic deals I did (hopefully ;) ) get.

Yeah, I agree they'll lose our business, but they'll probably go under if they do fill all the orders.

One of the more exciting mornings I have had this week. I'm trying to hold off another order on the 16.00 dyad. Fricken fun seller either way. Created a buzz for sure.

Well, it's cool if it's legit. But if it's a mistake then no hard feelings (assuming the orders are just cancelled). I had to take a chance on a zulu, always liked the design but couldn't justify it at full retail.

Maybe we will get an email saying we made a mistake, if you want your spyderco knives please add a 290.00 paracord bracelet to your order.

That's the way I felt about the Rock Lobster. I always wanted to try one, but not at normal street price. When I got the chance to buy one for $40, it was a no-brainer!
