I've tried calling them twice in as many weeks and no one answers, I left a message the first time I called but never got a call back.
I'm really, really digging his Scout in the Premier finish.
So far the only way to get one is on the secondary market but they're going for about 12-1400 bucks!
I'd rather get it from him at 675.
Has anyone ordered from him lately?

Theres a reason the aftermarket is so high.

So they're only made for retail sales now? I can no longer buy direct from Sibert? That freaking sucks...

Not quite what I intended to convey.

The secondary market is high because they are scarce.  The reason they are scarce is immaterial, but it indicates that enough fewer blades are made than demand produces buyers willing to double the initial value.

The specific cause of that situation, I don't know about.  But it's true of most situations where things are double the value as soon as they are possessed.

Yes, yes. I understand all that. I was just wondering why. Does he make more money catering to businesses rather than individual sales or is he just swamped, is what I want to know. Because I could wait a year or two, just like I would for a Randall.
