Not valid with a Chaparral FRN :(

I just got one and it worked. Make sure you look in the sporting goods category, not collectibles.

Yea sporting goods category is key. It will decimate your options but the more common stuff should still show up.

Well... the Chaparral has gotten crazy good reviews. They seem to have hit it out of the park on that one. But it should be readily available for a while.

When is the next US wide big sale - like the Black Friday Thanksgiving sale.

Is their anything before that ?

Looking at getting some SE knives in the Pacific Salt, Atlantic Salt and Aqua Salt.

Although I am in Aus the items will be shipped to near Chicago.

Anyone recommend where to buy them all at once ?

TIA
3 x Endura 1 SE, 1 x Endura ? CE and a Black Pacific Salt. Want Aqua Salt, Fish Hunter and a Pacific Salt Yellow.

Regular production knives from dealers are not advertised at prices below MAP. Your best bet is waiting for another eBay coupon

In looking for 500Nitro's question, I noticed Lanbo's Armory has the Bushcraft for $177.50 and the Stree Beat LW and Street Bowie each at $83.50. Shipping is not included, but I believe it's around $10 for one to many knives. The Bushcraft before shipping is cheaper than an eBay 20% coupon and after shipping should still beat a 15% coupon.

They did not have any of the knives 500Nitro asked about, closest is a Pacific Salt PE. I know this site has been mentioned in the past, but my recollection is they mainly had Endura, Delica, Tenacious type knives, not much in the way of fixed blades. I definitely don't recall the Bushcraft?

Independence day will likely be the next big sales, 500Nitro. You won't get them all at once at a discount, but you might set price watches on Amazon for the knives in question. Though if it's a one-shot thing they may not be the best approach. You'll need time to send it back when one of them turns out to be some Bear Grylls knife or whatever cheap substitute gets sent instead of what you ordered... :\

Is Amazon allowed to go below MAP for their "business pricing"?

I have a business account with Amazon, and I've noticed that they show "business pricing" when I log in. I just surfed over their without thinking about logging out of the business account on this machine, and noticed that several spyderco knives are below MAP.

From all third-hand info, I believe if you get Amazon to distribute your product, you agree to some range of price fluctuation. I can not imagine Amazon agreeing to respect MAP pricing with any company. Their pricing algorithms are part of what makes their business successful (at least in terms of market share, not necessarily profits).

Knives like the Endura and Delica are below MAP all the time, especially in less popular handle colors. You could open the product link in another browser or an incognito/private tab to see if you see the same price as when logged in as a business account. If you look at Amazon price trackers (like camelcamelcamel or others) you'll see a lot of price variation for most common Spyderco knives over time, going below as well as above MAP.

It used to be anything goes on Amazon spyderco pricing and it's not anymore. Spyderco has commented extensively in the past about Amazon and MAP and they do have to comply. Does everyone always comply with MAP? No

Interesting. I can't say I've noticed that trend changing. As an example, the blue and brown FRN Endura 4's are currently $72. That's about $6 under MAP.

In the last 3 months it has gone under $64 direct from Amazon. Anyway, price alerts on Amazon don't always pay off, but if one isn't in a rush they can save a few bucks or possibly get quite a deal.

For example the Junction used to be $160 all day long direct from Amazon not a third party seller. It's been north of $200 for several months now if not a year

That's when I got my Caly and I could literally not be happier about it. Took like 6 months to ship... but still.
