I received a reply from Patti to the pm on May 30 which said in part "Thanks for PM-ing me. I am finding out that some are having problems getting through."

I posted in another thread that I tried sending emails to both sales@scrapyardknives.com and to patti@scrapyardknives.com on Friday, but received bounce notices (for <sales@scrapyardknives.com>):
<t.busse@sbcglobal.net>:
207.115.21.22 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 553 5.3.0 <t.busse@sbcglobal.net>... Addressee unknown, relay=[64.202.189.176]

and (for <patti@scrapyardknives.com>):
<t.busse@sbcglobal.net>:
207.115.20.23 does not like recipient.

I'm not an expert, but it appears that they may have an invalid email address alias configured.


As to how one goes about buying a Busse Knife, I suspect that the READ THIS! Rules & SY Info (Updated: 08-04-23) title doesn't grab a new person's attention as well as something like "How to buy a knife and to avoid getting into trouble" might -- maybe we should have a "Name the Sticky" contest <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

Here are links to a couple recent threads that I saw and posted to, but I've seen several others as well; it certainly seems that more new folks than usual are seeking to buy their first Scrap Yard knife:
