i think there is something going on underneath the woodwork and i am afraid its not turning out in fairness to all us. people are buying large amounts and then ripping people off on the secondary market. but to that guy, im not stupid enough to pay more than what its worth so whatever... im just tired of dealing with a company that has nothing to offer is newcomers!

Scrapyard might not be for you anyway if you're scared to actually use your blades.

64 did not get one. I also got a sold out notice. I jsut put my invoice # in so the dogs that haven't gotten a email could get an idea of where they stand. It's not a good idea to put your invoice # here.

I think technically since I didn't get one, its not really an invoice number. I just got an order cancellation email.

Reconseed, I disagree with your assessment that "something is going on" here. We were told that this was a "small run". With the YKCG selling out in 53 minutes it made since that some of us (myself included) that wanted this knife wouldn't get one.
As far as the yard having nothing to offer.....I joined the yard 10/05/2007. At that time the Yardhook was available. since then we have seen the Mod7, the DFLE, the DMLE, the YKCG and this small amount of DFCG. That averages one knife every thirty days. Looks like there has been a lot offered to me.
I agree with you on the after market. I set price points to buy a knife on the after market (original cost + shipping original buyer + shipping to me). That's why I've only purchased one. Most of them are selling above my price point.
Just wait. I'm sure you'll have a "sack full" of scrap yard knives by the end of the year.

I got the same email, I used two different cpu's, one a chess network server, I know for a fact I was one of the very very first to order, but yet I received I didn't make the cut, I was looking forward to being a long term customer, As I had already received the S6, This letter has changed me bigtime, I'm not sure if I want to be that long term customer anymore as I already just sold my friend the S6 for $50 and said the hell with it.

#2863.... no dice.
I'd be in favor of limited quantity per order. Guaranteed a someones gonna have a bunch of these up on the exchange for $210 each now. Was really looking forward to having a dog father too...

It is beginning to look like these small releases are going to leave quite a few unhappy dogs if some limits aren't set on quantity by a single purchaser. Of course it is possible that there just weren't very many of them. I don't know for a fact that there were some large purchases. I'm sure Dan and Patti will work out something better for future releases.

Keep in mind that we were told that it was a very small number of blades from the get-go on this one. It was not a regular release and should not be looked at as one or used to judge how a regular release goes. The store software puking just made things worse.
Second, KEEP THE LANGUAGE CLEAN.

Sure I'm disappointed, but I knew it was a long shot going in. I think it's awesome they have such an amazing product that creates such a frenzy. (It'll just be that much sweeter when I score one on some future release<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)
