It all comes down to that I hate the People that buy 10+ copies of a blade in order to flip it right away for a profit to the same people they call "friend"......"Oh you missed out on it...well I happen to have a spare and you can have it for $90 for than I paid 2 days ago!" I feel Dan should o get in on this and charge a bit more. Buying extras isn't the problem.....I know a few folks do this to help cover the people who are at work or away while the knives are released and then offer them at a minimal markup....5 plus shipping.
You realize that some people actually sell knives for a living, right? I understand what you're saying. You resent the effect that scarcity has on pricing and the difference between a pure collector and an entrepreneur.

Just because people are willing to pay it doesn't make it a good idea.
Well, unless Dan does it. Right?(This was exactly my point before. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />)

My tip wouldn't cover what I think he deserves. Not only for creating affordable knives for those quick enough to get them while he has them to offer, but for creating this great forum, and when I see people charging outragous fees for knives that are still in the cardboard sheath, I feel Dan should get a bit more....
And raising initial retail prices would neither make the knives more available to collectors nor prevent markups in the secondary market. So why aren't you giving him "a bit more?"
