Spyderco Forums

Honestly, I bought one for myself. It should be here this next week. Seeing what they are selling for now I wish I would have bought 20. I'm still tempted to sell it as I already have the plain PM2, the Smurf Pm2 and several green PM2's on preorder. I'm one of those unapologetic capitalists. I think the price the market is willing to bear is the fair price (unless it's a time of national emergency or something of that nature)

I kinda wish i at least jumped on it early enough to get it at the lowest price, or maybe ordered 2 so i could sell one to finance my purchase of the CTS-204P knifeworks model. but i missed that one completely but its not that important to me to get that one. so i'm not going to bother trying to get one on the secondary market...unless some good samaritan would sell me one at the original knifeworks price, but i know that won't happen hahaha.

Wait..so you missed the orange one and want the green?

There's a whole bunch of them for sale on one of the forums that has to do with "_lade". Usually $210-$220. (And if I'm posting against the rules, I apologize in advance.) They seem to be readily available. I assume lots of entrepreneurs bought them just to resell them now.

No. I got an orange...just not at the lowest price offered. i got it for around 130ish from CS

But I have been waiting for FOREVER for some dark green G10. and the one picture i've seen of the green pm2 it looks reminiscent of British Racing Green which is one of my favorite shades of green.

amen!

I admit to being a capitalist. Just not a very greedy one. I still live in America...right?

Slash, we can't make some people feel what they don't have.

Marry an American woman and you might know.

Oh, and about sprints, it's a "you snooze you lose" thing. Too bad, you'll just hafta pay secondary market prices or do without. :p

Received mine first thing this morning. It apparently arrived over the weekend and it was a nice after birthday suprise to find a package from CSI laying on my desk this morning. I am very appy with the finished product. Great F&F, smoooooth action (as I expected), no blade play what-so-ever. Thanks to Sal, and crew as well as Jeff for this terrific Sprint! It will be loved and passed down in the family one of these days.

Apparently someone bought one for 289.95 for "buy it now" option. Rather mind boggling.

That will seem like a deal 6 months from now when they're going for 350+.

Reading through these comments, the Para2 XHP seems to be the only one sprint this year that has shaken the knife market.

I simply haven't seen this much excitement over the other sprints.

I think the green G10/204P may have already generated more excitement, and it's not due for months. It sold out faster than the orange XHP, which is astonishing.

Yeah, I think the green 204p one will shake things up more than this orange XHP one! Just a guess though!

I assume other Para2 sprints and Millie sprints will shake things up too whenever they are released.

Was thinking more about the Jester, Dodo and R sprints. From the listed sprints that were released thus far.

This Sucks I ordered 12/31 and mine still hasn't been shipped. I even updated my cc info

Give CS a chance. They have to handle the usual sales plus this sprint related sales. Jeff and crew will be stressed out.

My payment was received on 10 April by CS and it's not shipped yet either. I will wait till 20 April before checking with them as mines an international shipment. Not sure how the others tackle contacting for domestic shipments.

I dont think when you paid had anything to do with it.. It's all about when you preordered it.
