How far in advance do people start lining up/camping out?

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale 2018!
A couple people got there Thursday afternoon last year, but it wasn't until Friday evening that the line really grew. When the sale starts on Saturday, they let in the first group of 50 people or so, then one person in for every person that comes out. The line probably didn't hit 50 people until the early evening on Friday.KnickKnackCity wrote: ↑Mon Oct 15, 2018 10:12 amHow far in advance do people start lining up/camping out?

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale 2018!
So what are the seconds ceramics like? All I've seen anyone mention is knives.

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale 2018!
Thanks Jabba.
I'll be there for sure. As to if its Friday or Saturday will depend on weather I suppose.
One run I have been curious to see if it will every show the light of day is the Japanese Rhinos. Can anyone comment if they have ever seen an entire batch of failed QC models at the seconds sale? Dont get me wrong, I love my Taiwan model. It was absolutely the right choice to change manufacturers. I just wonder from time to time what happens when 800-1500 knives as a whole fail? Im sure disassembly isn't practical for the few pieces they could repurpose.

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale 2018!
IIRC, that batch was already deemed substandard by the time of the seconds sale last year and could have been there, but there were none.
I’m reluctant to even share a rumor I heard while I was there last year, but I heard they would be available at this years sale. This is by no means a fact though. I guess we’ll find out on November 17th! :D
There was an entire run of K04 serrated kitchen knives one year, so it seems possible that a large batch of the original Rhinos could make there way into the sale. I’ve got my fingers crossed!

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale 2018!
If I recall correctly, they didn't sell them last year because they didn't want the factory seconds to beat the actual release to market.

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale 2018!
That makes sense. It was best to not muddy-up peoples impression of the model. The Taichung variant is about as perfect as can get.
Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale 2018!
For some reason I can't recall if sprint 2nd's show up here (?).
The closest I've come to making the sale is off by one weekend last year on a business trip. Maybe one day. I still enjoy seeing your hauls and excitement from the treasure hunt posted here for us to enjoy. Stay warm!

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale 2018!
They actually had the Knifecenter cruwear with smooth CF manix 2 BEFORE knifecenter released info about them. I saw the knife at the sale and was baffled as that model had never been released beforeMushroom wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 5:26 pmYep, I've bought both sprints and exclusives at the seconds sale! :spyder:KnickKnackCity wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 5:17 pmI think I have seen posts from years past of people picking up sprints/exclusives at the seconds sales.

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale 2018!
So if I arrive at 08:00 on Saturday how long might I have to wait to get in? Is there enough stuff to find good deals without camping out? I’m hopefully going to be there at 8:00 am.

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale 2018!
Wow those are some really good discounts! I am going to have to make my way up there for the next seconds sale.toxophilus wrote: ↑Fri Oct 12, 2018 4:01 pmHopweaver, Below is an image of a haul from last year's Seconds Sale, prices are still on the blades. I heard from someone that the blue stickers are actually returns... imagine a K2 for $60.00 or that M4 BHQ Manix 2 for $65.00
The Black & Brown Southards (NIB)were being cleared out for $135 / $125 respectively. You may have to zoom in to see the prices :spyder:
Well worth it in my opinion!
