A two-knife limit is a good idea in theory but a nightmare logistically, especially when you're dealing with credit cards and potential refunds.
I don't agree with the bulk email idea either. There are a lot of tangential folks registered who seldom post here. Just look at tony22r's thread on "How Rare is Your Title?" Do you want *everyone* notified, or just the people who regularly participate in the forum? Again, a logistical difficulty.
Follow the boards, pay attention, and you're likely to get one in the first round. Or get someone to get your back and shell out another $10 or so in shipping. Or wait till the next round.
Supply and demand. Frankly, I think Dan and Patti want to sell knives. Period. And I don't blame them.
As you can tell from my avatar, I picked up four SS4's. I haven't flipped any of them, but I've only set aside one user. As for the other three, well... One is a spare, but I may get brave at some point and try a strip, buff, and (maybe) rehandle project on it.
The other two are more than likely trade fodder. If I miss the boat on the Dog Father, one of those may be my ace in the hole as a trade ticket. There are no guarantees in a free market, or else we'd all be rich. That's why I hedged my bets with a couple of extra SS4's while I could.
