E/S my response wasn't directed at you at all.
It was simply my observation on what I consider a very nice gesture by Dan and Patti

I hope to see a reincarnation of the 1311 somewhere down the road. Maybe a different steel, or handle material, blade profile, or color. I haven't had a chance to get my package yet but I miss the 1311 everyday. I am really looking forward to it!

Please no flames but I love how Dan did it for the 1311. Anyone in the know had ample opportunity to sign up and get theirs. It wasn't like some where they are up and gone in a day or two. Limiting the run allows me to sell off my couple of extras on the secondary which helps me buy the next offering. My "hobby" has to be pretty much self funding per the boss's orders. No extra cash these days for so many "toys". Can't keep buying new ones if the previous ones stayed up forever.

I think it's time for this thread to go away, so I will "unsticky" it and let it fade. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

These are going for 280,- on the exchange right now!?! What the ....?
Sorry if this is somehow breaking forum rules.
Just had to comment on it...

Can't say that i'm surprised. Being forum members only put a commodity on it that certain people will take advantage of during resale. Market sets price, if someone is willing to pay 280, then that's what it's worth.

I guess "Scalping" didn't die out in the 1800's after all.

It doesn't surprise me the least bit either.
It is just, that I don't believe it was in the spirit of the special offer, to forum members, that people sign up, buy the blade, and then jack the price up by 40% on the exchange.
It just gives me a bad tast in the mouth.
My 1311 is mine, and won't leave me, unless I lose it in the woods during a drunken rampage, again...

I can understand that feeling, but honestly this is very little different than a normal retail market if you think about it.
A distributor buys product from a manufacturer because they have access channels to that manufacturer that you do not. They then take that product and resell it at a 40 - 50% markup (sometimes more depending on the commodity) to a retailer who then marks it up again and sells it to the general public. Sometimes the distributor is cut out of that chain by the retailer, but someone is still a middle man between you and the manufacturer.
