DannyMilksLol, how cheeky. You don't feel as though saving less than 2 dollars in exchange for worse shipping kinda goes against the spirit of what Massdrop is about? Amazon already offers $1-2 incentives to opt for slower shipping times.
I thought the objective was to get a significant drop in price, like at least 10% off vs the competition, in the idea that we're ordering these items in bulk, and therefore receiving truly wholesale prices. $2 under Amazon does not feel like a wholesale price, it doesn't feel like you're getting ANY discount. Looking at it, it's a 3% off coupon at best, which is just lame....

DrKhanMDYou're right, but also there are a lot of items that do have awesome saving. Also realize that the price you listed for this item is overshot because you're assuming the current price not the lowest price, which is usually reached. The knife+leather sheath comes down to $67.24 after everything's said and done. Which is $8.19 of saving.

DannyMilksI'm going to reply to you to avoid an argument. Even if it's only $1-2 less than Amazon, I'm at least not supporting Amazon. I do that too much already. Besides exploiting the heck out of their employees (see links below), buying everything from them makes them a monopoly on retail. That's what they want. It's not what I want. So I ask myself: "do I need this knife on Weds? Will it change my life to have it in 2 days." No. I want it before my next outdoor adventure this Spring. It will arrive in time for that. Perfect.
