Yah I'm curious what it will cost. 100 keys could be double the price of the keys them self. Or more I don't really know. Hopefully less ;)

There's probably at least 50 bags in front of you by now. I'm going to say by now, there's no point. I knew this a few hours ago, but I emailed her anyways lol

This was a leftover sale, not a 'make a bunch of extra keycaps by the thousands to sell dirt cheap' sale :p

Yeah I don't like them a lot, my primary ***** is their R4 keys. They are too damn sharp.
However if I got them I would have just resold them, like almost anyone else is going to do after cherry picking their favorite caps. Even selling them at $.10 each would still making money.

Minecraft put up this link on facebook and 2 minutes later the Cuusoo page went down. **** yeah for fanboys of anything (cept twighlight and justin bieber, but if you're a boy and you do like these two things i need to beat some sense into you)

It will take us a few days to sort through the emails and gather orders together, however we will be in touch with each of you in regards to the status of your request. We thank you for your patience!

Hum, think about this.  How ASS-BACKWARD is this? "Wow, there is soooo much interests in these basically garbage that we were going to throw away, we are not sure if we will do another one again..."  Well, totally inline with what SP has been doing.  "We don't do double cut, that is too much work."  "We are going to charge more because we can't get our sh1t straight and that we make mistakes."
Title: Signature Plastics Grab Bags and more
Post by: o2dazone on Thu, 26 January 2012, 16:26:32
The thing with Signature Plastics, is they don't make the bulk of their money from weird keyboard people. They make their money from businesses and corporations. This is just a side project for them. Once the overwhelming sorting and accounting happens and they're selling big bags of keys, it's not worth it to them. It's the same thing going to a steel mill. It's not financially feasible to babysit someone while they walk around a steel mill, find what they're looking for, slice a 1' of square steel tubing and send them on their way. I'm sure they feel the same way here.

What they COULD profit off of is someone placing a HUGE order of abs doubleshots, and that person individually selling sets. But this market/forum is so fickle and flighty, that there's no guarantee that you'll get your money back.

I'm not saying SP is right in this regard, but I think what they thought was going to be just offing their small stock, ended up being a processing nightmare, and probably won't make the same mistake twice (or offer bags of 100 random keys for $10, to lower the demand)

Hats off to Melissa for responding so quickly and keeping everything in order... My item was even shipped 15 mins after I paid. What I don't understand is why it seems like SP didn't put ANY thought in this. If you manage to get even one complete set without modifiers/spacerbar you could probably sell it for $20. This was like a freebie. There was massive potential for profit.

Did Ragnorock end up getting any? I feel bad, and not sure why that makes sense if he doesn't. He could of easily taken all the bags for himself and profited insanely.

Managed to snag a mixed colour grab bag.

Not sure what I will do with it though.
I only have a Poker with Cherry switches, and it would become a very colourful one.
If I end up not wanting to keep them, I would share them with the community (non profit of course).

I only have a Poker with Cherry switches, and it would become a very colourful one.
If I end up not wanting to keep them, I would share them with the community (non profit of course).

I love you <3

Now I really wish I would have gotten a bag of special shaped keys as well because even if I am able to piece together a RETRO set I will not have any of the modifiers for it :( so hopefully someone will be willing to trade. With that being said after I am done trading and got the ones I am looking for I have a list of people I will be trying to help get the keys they are looking for and after those people are done I will try and help others :). So everyone cheer up because I have the greatest intention of sharing the wealth and helping the community, but with that being said I can't possibly help everyone and already have a pretty long list of people to find keys for so don't send me a bunch of PM's, I think that we will have to setup a thread for people to post what they are looking for and if we have it maybe you will get it :)

Wow, I need to go buy a lottery ticket NOW.  I've been on Geekhack about a week now, new to the mechanical keyboard world. Well, new might not be the right word. When I started my IT career in the late '80s I used a Model M daily.  I wish I would have stocked up on some then. Anyway, after typing on a black widow at best buy, I knew I wanted to make the switch (Public service announcement here:  When newb's tell you they bought a Razer Black Widow. Try to retrain from making fun.  I bet they know it's a low end keyboard.  It might be all they can afford at the moment.  I bet, with encouragement and not petty elitism, that very same newb might just  one day have the skills you do to obtain [insert the hot mechanical keyboard of the moment here]. Hell he might just become a vibrant part of the mech board community. Just sayin.  /END public service announcement) After perusing the classifieds in search for a Model  M, i was pretty much resigned to having to spend 80-100 for a Model  M .  Then I came across Treigle’s post.  Someone backed out of a sale and all of a sudden, I have myself a Model  M for $26 shipped. And this isn't a clunker, VERY clean beautiful board. The next day I see this thread. I have no clue what a big deal it could be. At the time i think there were only three replies. So I casually head over to SP and order 1 bag of black on white and 1 bag of mixed colors. Head out to go run for the evening and get back and see all the activity in the thread and I start to realize what a big deal it is. Figured no way a get lucky again is there?  Well I got both bags I ordered. Tonight I buy the lottery tickets. When they announce my winning #'s  Go ahead and PM me your dream keyboard. I’ll even pay shipping.

Anyway, my first thought was "oh man, I can probably sell these for profit" But that doesn't seem right.  If rang hadn't posted that I wouldn’t even have had the opportunity. As a thank you ,when i get my bags I want Rangarock to look at what I received and grab any he needs or wants and also give me a good idea of what I have and need to hang on to. To be honest, I probaly wont know what I have thats "rare" or whatever. After he's had a chance to go through them, i would like Triegle to see if there is anything he wants, then I’ll post what I have publicly and see if I can help fill some  sets out there.  Just a newb saying  thank you.  Especially to those that don't make fun of the newb with the Razer...

So far from what's been posted I think only one dude got it, but there's going to be a lot of terminal keys in there I'm pretty sure, and not a lot of whatever everyone is thinking of

I don't see why not. Signature Plastics is a big company who can't afford the time to manage microtransactions. You are essentially doing this for them. This is no different than companies who buy stock directly out of Korea and resell it in other countries with a little markup.

This is the first time we have done this - the response was far greater than we could have expected... not sure if we will do another buy in the future

The 8 years+ Melissa's been there and they never had a sale like this before. Also considering that this isn't making them money they are simply just getting rid of their useless keys and I'm sure it took a bit of time for them too, so I'm not quite sure when we'll see a sale like this again, that is if they decide to run something like this again.

You DO realize statistics are against you getting a full 104 key set.

I'd do the math but somebody would have to pay me.

*of matching colors

I'd think if someone jumped on and received all possible options for the grab bags there would be a pretty darn good chance of getting a full 104 set .. of different colors. :p

edit: assuming each of the 104 keys has the same probability of being selected and the bags were created at random.

I think we have a pretty good chance of getting an alpha numeric set, but I think the modifiers will be the ones we wont be able to get since like only one person that we know of got the special size bag.

I thought about that, but there is always waste in processes like this.  Perhaps they used to just recycle/trash their one-offs.

I dunno. Didn't fentek have a 55 gallon trashcan full a while ago? I thought they donated it to a school to use in art projects.

I should have gotten on the list earlier!

Also: to the math people: Monkey's don't type randomly, so if they have colemak or dvorak (gotta get that alternation!) they have a much better chance of typing all shakespeare.

Edit: looks like fentek had 65 lbs, as seen here:

Looks like they were printed, not doubleshot for the most part, though.
Still, that's a lot of keys.
