C81GGY20CP2 Gray G10 Para2 - All Gone?

I'm kicking myself for having missed pre-ordering the C81GGY20CP2 Sprint. By the time I heard of it's being available, it was gone. It seemed a couple of the shops expected a second shipment early in August, but I haven't seen that happen. Does anyone know how big the run was and whether a second shipment is planned?

I'm not sure about any more shipments, but try bento box shop, they still had some in stock recently.

I see them being re-sold on the secondary market for about twice what they originally sold for. Despite my desire to have one, my pockets just aren't that deep. Bento Box Shop appears to have them; but, the price there is comparable to others I see on eBay.

You couldn't buy them for what the dealers originally sold them at, now. If you can't get in on the pre-order, you'll either have to pay secondary market prices or do without.

I got mine for about $200(including shipping) with the kind help of a member here, I consider myself lucky to have it.

Bento Box did have them on sale for $169 recently. I guess they raised the price.

BBS has pre-order for the BLUE M390 PARAMILITARY 2 now if you want to jump on that boat in the meantime. :D

Looks like Howe's has one in stock right now for $169, but you better jump on it.

Thanks for the heads up, I finally got one, assuming they are in stock as shown!!

I saw one for $220 on BF yesterday or the day before. Howe's had them in stock briefly a few weeks ago, but that was the last time I saw them outside of the secondary market.

As others have stated: You will have to pay more in the secondary market unless you get lucky

If anyone knows of other sources of these for under $200 would greatly appreciate a private message!

They were in stock at Howes for a few hours after it was mentioned in this thread but were sold out when I checked again the following morning. They probably only had a few of them. I wonder how long they will keep trickling out to the dealers like this.

Spyderco has them at Golden. I was there earlier this year and was debating betweem the gray Carpenter Para or the Camo. I chose the Camo. When I got to the car, I pulled it out to play with it while I was driving about 90 mph down I-70 (just kidding) the Gray Para was in the box. I guess that I could have kept it, but I took it back in and swapped it for the Camo. No regrets, It is probably my favorite along with the Millie and Manix2.

They've been sold out at the outlet store for some time, at least that's what the gentleman told me on the phone several days ago.
