There are some Manixes are a good price. Not the steals the others were at, but I think the black blade Manix was $58, which is almost half off.

Check that! Large Lum for $66! woot!

"Cold Steel Handgun Hunting Down Under DVD" only $940. I have a feeling this guy isn't going to be too happy when he realizes what is going on with his prices.

Check out Buck Roosevelt.....

We'll see...maybe a few people bought the DVD, the Recon 1 and the benchstones so they won't feel so bad about fulfilling our orders :)

I'll be kicking myself but ya same here I don't feel good about it. On a side note I'll stick with a trusted dealer and enjoy the quality knife. On a side note if it works out congrats on the score.

has any one had any word from the seller or amazon yet?

jossta · #108

Nope. I sent two emails. One asking if I could swap a Purple Endura for a Brown one (not gonna happen). And another asking him not to hold the shipment for the pre-order of the Ti-Military.

I assume we won't hear from them until:

1.) Stock is all gone and people start getting shipping notices
2.) Everyone gets an email canceling their order

jossta · #110

Lol, if I get a shipping notice I will probably fall out of my chair. Same thing if what comes in the box is actually what I ordered.

Dangit, I missed it. Whatever it is.

I bought a Manix 2 SE from an Amazon seller two weeks ago for $58. So I think that's a real deal. It's here in my work bag. Fabulous knife. The deal I bought, however, was only on the SE, not the PE.

A few still up that I would have gone for, but they won't ship to Canada.

jossta · #115

Buy them and ship to me, I'll send 'em to you. Assuming they actually get to me.

I wonder if this has to do with the amazon spyderco price fluctuations in the morning. When I wake up every morning I check my amazon saved list to see what prices have changed and amazingly the Sage 1 dropped by about $20 and the grey Endura 4 dropped by about $6 (which is still about a 10% drop). These are Spyderco knives sold directly by Amazon. Maybe the prices changed because of this seller. Either way I got a Sage 1 from Amazon for $81. A few hours later I checked again and the price on the Sage 1 was back to normal. Also I'm not sure what the regular price for the Sage 3 is on Amazon but right now it's $90 which seems pretty good.

I noticed the Sage 1 price drop this morning. Considered getting it, but have recently bought a bunch of knives so I didn't. I don't think the "Seek Gear" discrepancies are related at all, really. I think Seek Gear simply sent Amazon a bogus pricing file.

I bought a Manix 2 SE last week for $58. I noticed IMMEDIATELY after I ordered it that the price had returned to about $70. But the order was completed and honored.

A lot of the vendors use formulas to set their price and part of the formula is based on other vendors' pricing. I may have posted this at the time, but there were two booksellers whose formulas kept their prices just above each other in the absence of any other vendors. They were the only two who had a particular book and their pricing formulas kept topping each other in an endless spiral. The price reached 13 million dollars before one of them reset the price.
