Alright. I got mine. I can't wait until it shows up in the mail. I hope that everyone who wanted one got one. Does anyone know about how long they lasted? Maybe 45 minutes?
45 minutes sounds about right. I really thought they'd last longer than that. And, of course, they might pop up again after Patti counts her inventory.

I decided to go shooting and just got back. Figured that "good until Tuesday" meant there'd be plenty, but decided to take the wife up on her offer to order for me if need be.
Good thing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> She's quick too, 13:06:05 and that's with the "Sorry all sold out" routine on her first try. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That's fast. I was setting on go and only got 13:06:12

I had one of those click to finalize order, then ended up back in the cart moments, but I was in such a hurry that I can't swear that I didn't click the wrong button. I've always used PayPal for payment, and haven't had any problems with that part so far.

I also experienced that initial "Sorry all sold out" thing some folks reported, but I assume that was because I got into the item before they were released for purchase. I wasn't the first to place an order, but I think I was pretty close -- I was F5ing and jumped on them as soon as they appeared.

Did you get to the invoice screen, Jim?

Yep; all the way through, clicked on the "click to go to PayPal" picture, made payment and clicked the "back to Scrap Yard" link, and got the invoice screen (plus automated emails from Scrap Yard and PayPal). So far, once I get to the payment screen, I've always been golden.

I was logged in to the Scrap Yard store about an hour before the knives went up (it made me change my password again, so I was happy that I didn't get hit with that while under pressure to complete the order). Being logged in lets me select my profile name to auto-complete all the identifying info, so all that worked for me too.

yeah, I was sitting here waiting and refreshing and I got mine ordered at 13:02:22. But I had logged in already and made sure that I had my Google autofill thing all set up so it automatically filled my Address info and CC info and I was good to go.

I ordered mine at exactly 4:01pm here in NJ which is when it first appeared because I kept refreshing starting at 4:00pm. :-) Man, my first Scrap Yard knife. I've been looking for a good camping knife and I feel this just may be it. Woohoo!
