I can't honestly say I am looking forward to F5 games.

I think there are BETTER alternatives to F5 madness IMO.


I don't pitch a tent in the Best Buy parking lot after my Thanksgiving meal to scrap with "MOBS" early the next morning for a good reason.

Why create that type of madness and strong potential for ill-will, frustration, etc.?

I would MUCH rather see pre-orders like Swamp Rat is doing for the HC. - Less stress. Less hassle and everybody has a fair and reasonable time frame to get their orders in. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Pre-Ordering probably also helps take some of the resalers out of the mix who try to scalp on the secondary market. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
Let the scalpers buy all they want so long as they are not taking away from others who are trying to order in a fair and reasonable manner and fair time-frame. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

If they make a profit on the secondary market because buyers and demand are willing to pay it, then so be it. But, let it be because demand grows after everybody around here gets a fair chance.
NOT because certain people around here didn't camp out at their computers and F5 at just the right moment and the scalpers who orders 30 can resale them to the unfortunate people who had lives to live or work, etc.

I would rather see Busse kin fans and followers get their knives from the maker. Then the fans and followers can be happy with their knives and discuss the greatness of the knives here on the forum.

Rather than promoting the frantic trampling all over each other madness.

Which scenario creates a better feeling around here? What is more enjoyable for everybody?:

Great hype about great knives that the regulars around here can make sure to be able to have an opportunity to buy in a reasonable manner? And then be excited about getting and sharing enjoyment amongst friends here on the forums and abroad.

Or hyped situation about how maddening the buying will be? Be ready to buy or be trampled? Get there first or get out of the way? Put your life on hold, be fast or deal with the nasty practice of jacked up pricing done by those who are hording for the obvious purpose of profiting and screwing people on the secondary market - many who tried to buy fairly?


I don't really like order caps as I think there are justifiable reasons for buying or wanting more than one or even more than 2 or 3.
