I understand, Gravelface. But if the people who can just swing Dan's prices are at the right place at the right time, they should be able to get theirs. If they can't, then I'm entirely on your side.
To be perfectly honest with you, I'm not a big fan of one-offs from The Yard (e.g., SS4-INFI, Dumpster Mutt). I understand why Dan does them. But I think they belong more properly in the domain of Busse Combat and, to a slightly lesser degree, Swamp Rat. I'd be much happier if Dan stuck to creating high-volume, low-cost production knives that he periodically re-released (e.g., DF, S6). If he did that, discussions like this one probably wouldn't be necessary.
I understand what you are saying.....hell, I am guilty of it when Game Wardens first came out...then I saw the struggle that some folks have getting some blades and it bothered to see the people I talked too so much cut short by greedy people who are in the right place with the right amount of money. I began to hold a few till folks could save their money and even gave some away for less than cost. And I tell you that felt much better than making $30-40 off a knife that someone could have got at cost, but I was greedy and eager and now I try to give away more. I understand getting an extra to resell ...later, but immediatly flipping it for 2x the cost....that is dirty!
