Still early days, I'm sure when they get settled more products will start hitting the pages.

... ... ... ... ... spring and stickers

[aggiejy]

Ordered a blue text set! Pricey, but THICK!

[metafour]

I really wish he would have been up front with what he had coming out. I just spent money on SP RGB sets and I would have much preferred waiting to get Cherry profile RGB keys.

Lysol quoted GMK at $80/set....lol $50 price hike

[alaricljs]

springs and stickers is hardly the money shot

[kmiller8]

They are a business and need to have markups to make money, do they not?

[DanGWanG]

Mmkay

[alaricljs]

Besides, what additional fees are missing?  Shipping from EU isn't cheap, neither is import duties.

[metafour]

Springs and stickers were what he said he would have on the site a LONG time ago though. So when it launches people expect to see them.

I'm sure there's some decent markup in there... I assume they put a *lot* of money to get these made, so it is what it is.  Just glad to have an option... but hopefully we see these cheaper in the future.  Also... not sure if Lysol's quote included the winkeyless keys as well.  Personally, I have no use for the number keys either.

This.

Also, I would much rather pay a "price hike" and get what I want within a week...instead of going through the uncertainty of group buys and waiting MONTHS to get what I paid for well in advance.

[limmy]

I don't like win key and context key legend. They don't look good.

Typical markup for retail is 100%, or 2x cost (at LEAST).  If you don't understand the basics of business, then keep the commentary to yourself.

Yes sir! I'll make sure to tell everyone I know that doesn't markup their retail this much that you say they have to or they "don't understand the basics of business."

[DanGWanG]

About as many as you ordered!

[hashbaz]

Knock it off, Dan.

[inlikeflynn]

sweet! so glad to see its US-ANSI only so everyone else is f'd on getting anything from here to fit their boards 

[tsangan]

Lysol quoted GMK at $80/set....lol $50 price hike

$80 includes winkey, winkeyless and numpad?

[metafour]

litster needs to update his avatar once again. They're on sale for $4!

[DanGWanG]

Knock it off, Dan.

Oh just me now?

[DanGWanG]

Sure hope so!

there have been a lot of politics lately on the korean forums, particularly when it comes to supplying parts to the US in volume (although it's gotten much much worse than that in the past week or so)

unfortunately if you don't have connections and didn't get in on the recent group buys for eg stickers that we were offered, you may be out of luck for a little while.

You can think and do what you like.  I just feel bad for the guy trying to stand up a new storefront while people expect him to act like a charity.  Number one rule, if your money would earn more in an interest-bearing account, then leave it there.  Ever hear about a product offered "at cost"?  There's a reason it's so awesome.  The seller actually loses out because they don't recoup overhead.

I remember a video by sherryton that showed him receiving a box full of springs and stickers.

You can always change it to $250 to reflect the "original" Cherry Esc double shot.

He had it that way originally too.  Really, he should make it an animated gif, with the prices slashing away.

Can we just produce our own stuff already?  If they don't want to let anyone in their clubhouse then screw 'em.

i agree with that im sure that we could make stickers easily enough as for springs weve talked about that on IRC a bit but nothing conclusive yet

I dont think tsangan would be so happy about that.  He loves the Koreans

$4 is a very good deal.

I have had enough trolling done with my current avatar.  Should change it back to my Korean hand-made PBT yellow smiley keycap.

I understand how costs work. Typical markup for retail varies by what sector of retail you're talking about. Also, while this isn't typically one of those situations, some items are actually sold below cost (loss leaders).

i should note that the "much worse in the last week or so" has nothing to do with the US.

'xcept that was more orange than yellow

[WhiteFireDragon]

Sherry, where's the rest of the loot? All them stickerz and springz yo!

[jabar]

Kudos to sherryton figuring out how to milk the GH teat.

I'm keeping my money though.

Actually a typical retail markup is up to 100%. Most often retail markups are in the 30% to 45% range. Some items like wine in restaurants are marked up to 300%. No need for snide remarks is there?

Too late, champ. $250 Esc key master race.
