Post by SDSSmith »

This particular item has come up in email specials at least 3 times this calendar year. Has anyone ordered this item from any of those sales? Has anyone received this item after it was ordered?

Yup. Haven't had the time to use it, though.

I have three of them and use them frequently. When cutting multiple pieces to same length they are terrific. fjimp

I failed to note the "This Year" qualifier, no mine were all purchased three or four years ago. Sorry for any confusion. Fjimp

This year? Do the ones sold this year differ from the others?

I think Rob considers them 'virtual' or 'imaginary'!

That about hits it right on the head, jpg. I ordered in March, 2010. Checked regularly on status, seemed to always be one week from Friday. Went on sale two subsequent times, SS response "Back order report shows it due one week from Friday." Based on the responses to my query, I guess I was the only one who ordered it. I suspect there minimum order size is more than 1.]

Hmmm. Then there is the flip side. Don't produce it if you are not going to market it. Like the Mark 7. It's being produced and I don't believe it has ever been marketed.

Admittedly, I only know of one but that is something. It won't create sustainability but....one is better than none???:rolleyes:
