I don't see anything wrong with Jerry's marketing practices... his knives come at a premium, but they really are the best you'll ever get. I've only got 2 - but my BATAC is my "go to" knife out of the 20 or so high end knives that I've acquired.
A lot of people have a "big problem" with Scrapyard sales as well - but it all comes down to supply and demand. It'd take a whole lot of work for Dan to keep up w/ a supply to meet the demand.
I'd sure prefer that both Scrapyard and Busse would keep full inventory of all of their models... but it just isn't feasible! So there really isn't a great way to decide who does and doesn't get your knives that want them. One way it to sell them to the highest bidders... or the fastest buyers...
