Lately the secondary market has been a buyer's market on certain knives. I've seen very good knives selling for less than retail, when you factor in shipping or tax paid at the knife shows. Lots of good deals to be had these days if you watch the bladeforums exchange.

I'm sure I'll pick one up ragardless of what kind of deal either myself or the seller gets. It's a great looking blade.

Don't forget the LE is still coming - you could buy one of those straight from the source.

I agree. I just can't help but wonder if there's a way to COMPLETELY automate the shipping notification process. I mean, wouldn't it be nice if Scrap Yard's shipping department could let us know when they ship a knife and skip Renee altogether? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Just a thought . . . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

But what would Renee do???

We are automated however the system is not completely real time due to some batch processing. The process should actually work like this...Shipping completes paper work, paperwork sent to Renee for notification, Renee releases actual shipment after notification is given...customer notified and then receives shipment

I changed the process to operate like this. Inspect, validate order and payment, label box, pack and ship. If the paperwork notification aligns great but do not hold up an order for notification.

If you want to wait an extra day or so we could make sure that you are notified first and then have the shipment leave…silly but possible <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

BY the way the software and hardware upgrade to do it real time is sizable and it would directly effect the pricing of our knives. So the current system ain't so bad <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Stick with it. No complaints here.
It can get hectic. Don't burn yourself out. Seems like you have a great thing going.

I could do that but then I would be hesitant to use it. Please allow me to stop complaining.

Bah! There's nothing special about an LE to keep you from using it...

Once you wear the numbers off the blade, you won't even remember it's an LE <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
