Any word on pricing?  I assume pricing in OP was SP's which is now obsolete.

I'll decide who to go with when we get $50 orders.

It will be about the same, but may include direct shipping instead of shipping to me, then the buyer.

17 keys until 50.  Come on lads!

I might be interested in 2 or so, depending on final price. I actually have money in pp which is rare!

these would look nice with my PBT white caps on my QF!

Please PM me new orders.  If you don't PM (follow example in the first post) it doesn't count.

i3oilermaker, i made your changes in the OP.  Check to make sure you are at the right number.

OK folks, we have officially crossed the 50 key line!

I am talking with qtan to finalize pricing with direct shipping to the buyer from him, That way there will only be one shipping charge.  So things will come faster and cost less!  As far as I understand so far there is no initial setup fee either.  So less money out of our pockets.

I'll leave the orders open for now.  I'll set the deadline at April 15, midnight.

The word from qtan is that shipping will be $4 world wide, direct to the buyer, including tracking.

If we get the order above 75, the price will drop to $4.50/key.

Cheap, direct shipping anywhere! Use the $10-15 I just saved you and buy more keys! :-)

OP updated with current info.

It will be hard for SP to compete with imsto and qtan.  Dye sub pricing per key is similar, but SP charges $40 setup fees, and higher shipping.  Qtan will also handle shipping directly to the buyers, then you don't pay shipping twice.  Imsto had cheaper pricing per key, but the individual shipping that Qtan offers is a great service to us all. SP will have a hard time competing in dye sub novelty keys.

We will have to see how our Beeker key turns out.  The only question that hasn't been answered is the quality.  Melissa was willing to print our image on test keys to see if placement, size and colours were acceptable.  I'm not sure if we can do that with Qtan.  I'm resizing my vector for key size right now, so I'll see what he thinks.

The resized vector (key cap dimensions) has been sent to Qtan in the correct format.  So we are just waiting for a confirmation that the key looks good.

The image on the SP test key was not horizontally centred.  In person on a keyboard it is way off.  So I asked if a test is possible to ensure placement and size.

Thanks to Greg Dron and RickyJ we have hit 75. So i will start sending out invoices as soon as I can.

The keys should be $4.50 US/key + $4 US shipping.

The image needs a bit of tweeking for qtan and final price verification, then we are good to go.

OP updated.
