The advantage we have in The Yard is that Dan gives us a 48-hour notice before he sells Scrap Yard knives and he always sells them in the evenings or on weekends. That way, most people who want them have a chance to get them. Those who can't be at the right place at the right time normally arrange in advance to have proxies purchase on their behalf.
I did not know that. You see, that is a prime example of someone not educating themselves(namely ME!), and because of it I will now open mouth and insert foot.
However, what I said still applies to Busse and Swamp Rat knives as well as any knives that have already been released before someone becomes familiar with the brand.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I thought the pre-order deal that Swamp Rat did on the HCs was a great idea!
