2020 Seconds Sale - BREAKING NEWS

[vivi]

Web traffic is crashing the site already.

Yep. Twenty seconds until the sale and the site won't work. Oh well, I never expect much about of these types of sales.

Luckily they are dropping them in batches, so if you miss the initial feeding frenzy maybe you can get lucky later.

Site is loading but I see absolutely nothing about a seconds sale anywhere.

I'm surprised the forum is back up and running so quickly

Can't wait to hear people moan, and cry

[camvdcs]

Where's the link?

[steelcity16]

I'd love to see their site analytics right now

It's going to be epically annoying!

Spyderco.com down! Not surprised... Haha!

Maybe I missed it, but where is the online seconds sale... online?

Easy enough to miss, as it was buried partway thru a 10 page thread. According to Michael Janich's post a few pages back, there will be a link on the Spyderco home page once the sale goes live.

Hey, All:

Thank you very much for your enthusiastic discussion of the 2020 Seconds Sale. We truly appreciate your interest. As many of you noted, bringing the sale completely online is a technological challenge. Before committing to specific dates, we wanted to make sure we had all our IT assets wired tight. We are confident we've done that, so we are now prepared to announce the dates.

The Online Factory Seconds Sale will start at 10 a.m. MT on Thursday, Dec. 3rd and end at 5 p.m. MT on Saturday, Dec. 5th. When the sale goes live, a link will be available from the Spyderco.com homepage.

Please follow our social media and the Spyderco forum for more announcements and updates.

Thank you for your patience.

Stay safe,

Mike

12:08 nothing on the homepage or their twitter and have to try five times to post to the forum. Seems they underestimated demand.

Trying to snag a pair of DLC militaries. Not much else tickling my fancy. The selection is much more limited than I was expecting/hoping. I wonder how much more they will post over the next 2 days in terms of other models?

[FullFlatMind]

Can't check out

I've clicked 2 knives so far, but then disconnected as soon as I select a knife.

Grab me one! Can't access the sale site and still don't see the link on the homepage

[Mushroom]

Connection fails every time I try to checkout

[nerdlock]

Can't say I'm much surprised.

When you got a Spyderco collectors FB group that has 8k+ members also hedging for a spot here in this sale, stuff like this is going to happen. Like every other exclusives drop nowadays.

[FullFlatMind]

Seems like the whole site went down.

Accessed the sale but clicking on any knife fails to load the page. Trying for a Millie.

"BREAKING NEWS" seems to be an appropriate title for this thread... :D
