No, it isn't. I made this same mistake a while ago. You're doing good to get as far as you have, go ahead and make another login for the store.
I was just on again and was surprised there was as much on there as there was. Mostly regular production models though
Call the SFO. I did earlier and got right throughp_atrick wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2023 1:33 pmSays my account has been locked for the next five hours. Sigh...

For the online sales probably yes. If you can make it to Golden Co., well that's the real deal. This one is more like a mid year clear up. Don't get me wrong - not complaining - I'm actually super happy. I scored quite a lot of knives, and as a UK resident it's a pure win for me. But throughout the years I build up the image in my mind that the real seconds sale is physicaly at SFO.ramblinwreck wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2023 12:41 pmI don’t see a lot of higher end knives. Is this usually the case?
Nope, 2 separate logins. You sound like you will need to create an account.p_atrick wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2023 1:22 pmDumb question, but the info you use to login to the forum is the same you use for the general site, correct?

I get that you're frustrated but settle down. There pocket knives for cryin' out loud. Not something to get so mad overStriple765Rider wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2023 1:39 pmWhat a bunch of garbage. I’m so mad I feel sick to my stomach. I fought and fought for hours and even made it to the cart a few times and it kicked me out somehow that I couldn’t even refresh it, it was just gone. Lost a 15V Para 2 which was one of my dream knives. That was the worst experience ever and I’m so disgusted I don’t even want to do any business with them anymore. What a horrible site. I’m sure once I calm down down I’ll still buy them because they’re my favorite brand by far but Jesus I’m furious right now and am so disgusted. Especially seeing so many people that somehow got on, got a bunch of knives with very little trouble.
5 hrs into it and finally able to see what is still available and there’s not a ton left. I think I’m walking away with the shred of dignity that I have left for myself, just disappointed that I wasn’t aware that this was a possibility. 1st world problems huh? :)
I've been trying to checkout my cart for 4 and half hours with no success too but it isn't spydercos fault. If it is that important and you NEED them then you can just pay retail. Sure being overseas it is cheaper for me to import even after of high postage and taxes and I will use one of the knives for work but that's just life, it happens and spyderco owes me nothing. Just the sheer demand and perhaps scalpers etc on top means their infrastructure gets swamped and suggesting they roll out some extreme high traffic capable hosting for a single sales event is crazy especially since they can't predict the load and will be stuck with massively inflated hosting fees for the rest of the time for load capabilities surplus to requirements so little they can do their side. I just appreciate they are doing it online again for those of us who can't feasibly get to SFO in person.Striple765Rider wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2023 1:39 pmWhat a bunch of garbage.

The comment about calling the SFO was in response to someone having an issue with their account. I didn't ask but I don't think they were taking orders over the phoneImightBgreen wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2023 2:08 pm5 hrs into it and finally able to see what is still available and there’s not a ton left.
