So disappointed in Massdrop lately. What is the point?

lellobeetleThe point is the $10 lower price that is noted on the Description and also below in comments which I am guessing you didn't see before posting this, but if there's something else that's disappointing you, by all means please let us know. Thanks.

JonasHeinemanYes, I did read that after I did the price check on other vendors. Let's be frank, though...Really ten US dollars? That is not nearly enough for me to endure the waiting game alone.

JonasHeinemanI'm sorry, I thought someone had posted one before my post. I couldn't find one, however if you'll allow me to rephrase my post: you can buy this knife for $119 with FREE SHIPPING, so after you PAY to have it shipped from massdrop and wait a minimum of a few weeks (I've had massdrop take 2 months to get my dragonfly to me), I guess you could buy a pack of bubble gum with your savings.
This is a shit deal. You're wasting everyone's time and making us trust you less. The snarky attitude isn't helping.

HexeirNo apologies needed, this drop structure is inconvenient and confusing as compared to regular drops, because of Spyderco's MAP. No argument there.
We're offering free shipping to the US, which covers about 70% of members; if you don't fall into that group, then maybe the shipping cost - which is admittedly higher than I'd like it to be - doesn't outweigh the $10 savings.
Sorry if my comment seemed snarky, it was not meant to be. I asked you to send a link with genuine interest, because I was not able to find it anywhere for $109 either; if there's a lower price available anywhere else, I definitely want to know that - it helps me to get the best prices possible for members in many cases.
Not everyone will find value in this deal; it depends on where you live and how long you're willing to wait to save $10, or if you think that a zipper pouch as a gift-with-purchase is appealing. 40+ members so far seem to think it is, I'm sorry that's not true for you. Hopefully we can restore this broken trust with other new drops that offer more compelling savings.

JonasHeinemanHey Jonas,
Knife Outlet had it for $109, but as far as I know, that offer was only available through one of their monthly private sales. It wasn't their regular advertised price on their website.

StuntZombieGood to know, I scan all the usual suspects before we launch every drop but it's hard to catch everything. Thx!

JonasHeinemanNo problem. Unless you signed up for their email, you wouldn't have seen it.
As far as I can tell, you guys have the best price on it right now.

Paradigm84I understand that most times while the USA folks aren't realizing much of a price benefit, the International folks are getting a nice savings. That's great. I hope that we'll begin seeing a price break (and more than 10 dollars) for the USA folks as well on future drops.

JonasHeinemanYou can get it for the same price from BladeHQ.com in a few days so really what's the point ?
