When is a vendor not a vendor?

 

[M1k3]

When the vendor isn't vending their vendable goods?

This thread hurts my feelings. I am going to report it and get everyone banned from KKF.

I actually worked in one place where we had a stack of 50 of these pinned to the wall in the HR guy's office. Mind you, in place of "whiner" those forms said "candy-ass"

This is awesome

When is a vendor not a vendor?

Vendor:

/ˈvɛndə,ˈvɛndɔː/
noun
a person or company offering something for sale, especially a trader in the street.

I guess vending machines arent vendors... they are just machines... but what if they are a cybernetic organism? Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton?


Here is what Midjourney thinks "terminator working at a new york newspaper stand" would look like:

Let's talk about flipping.

 

[BillHanna]

Flipping is for eBay, not a forum.

Flipping you say?

This thread drives me macadramia nuts.

 

[Jovidah]

Drama thread? But we already have a TF thread...

Flipping you say?

Good commentary, but also just an amazing routine. Rare that you see someone execute so flawlessly, with such confidence and while having so much fun.

Wrong thread.

Gadda be down under mate with a Flippen surfboard in the stands of a gymnastic show.

I love Anryu also

To be fair, it had a worse handle than stock. That’s gotta be worth something! Although actually, doesn’t a custom handle make it less of a collector’s item?

Anyway, I hear people collect stamps too. Freaking stamps, man. The world is a strange place.

But some small online knife shop listed it for a ridiculous price, so that's what they're worth now! In fact let me just round that price up to the nearest hundred...

I'd rather buy a Dao Vua than a TF

Lol I got nothing against this. It's obviously dumb but there have been people who have been paying these prices (probably mainly from a certain Facebook group/Ryky's fanbase). If it floats your boat to pay 3x MSRP for a low-tier knife with a stamp that doesn't even guarantee Anryu made it, feel free.

 

[superworrier]

Allegedly it sold.

 

[jedy617]

JNS annoys me. Maxims website is old, outdated, annoying to search through, if I want to try for a kato or shig I wish I could just sort all knives by newest or by profile. Even if you go to "new" those knives won't show up.

There are no scheduled drop times for the good stuff. Only reason I was able to get my workhorse was I luckily checked the forums at 5am. Also curious the margins on these knives. I know the katos and shigs used to be $4-$500 I wonder what the wholesale price is?

I know this is all complaints about luxury goods etc etc but it would be nice for JNS just to say katos dropping tomorrow at 2pm, instead of an Instagram post of a knife with a unicorn and a heart as a comment, and then randomly popping up at 4:53 am a week later. If knowing even approximate time beforehand it would allow people to block off a certain time in their calendar, and not reward bots/people that have page loggers.

/End rant

By not updating the site, he’s passing the savings on to you?

Yes a kato that could be $500 is now $1500 think of the savings!

And yes I still bought one. Yes I am dumb and would probably do it again. I am a sucker

 

[superworrier]

Better than the TF website where you could see everyone's address and message history

 

[jedy617]

I really don't need much. Just let me see all the products and let me sort by newest first, and be able to sort by blade shape. Hell even CKTG is better. I also asked about drop times, asking if that might be something to consider "sorry, no" was the answer. These have to be going to bots there is no way collectors are sitting refreshing for days in end.

Is "hey shigs are going to drop at noon tomorrow" or even just saying general timeframe that much to ask for?
