So for someone who is new to all of this and wants to participate in his first group buy. If it's not on the price list (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Round4_Pricelist), it has been cancelled due to not enough orders and isn't available, correct? Also the BLOOD set has been replaced by Ragnaroks Red on Black GB?

^ Exactly!

I remember seeing mention of there being a limit to the prices, regardless of volume, due to SP's discretion.

Its still way more then Rags prices. I'm sure theres a reason. But I wonder if all these kits were separate in more basic group buys if the prices could get to rags level. I don't see why not.

I was thinking the same thing. At first i thought it was because the sets have two colors for keys, but then noir style throws that thought out the window. Im assuming prices are fixed due to the way round4 is organized and how we're ordering everything in one go. Kind of a high price to pay for that convienece but im hoping this will still happen in a timely manner soon...

With the sucess of the ragnarok GB (as an indicator of price points) how are the prices for round4 still so high? I would assume that we've at least hit the 25 kit price point for some of these options yet prices are still close to $90? Don't remember but I think I read prices aren't changing at this point. Still true? (Specifically Retro).

We need higher volumes for keys larger than 1 unit. These are the keys which make it so expensive. Also, those many different colors (RGB) don't make it easier.

Too many low volume key caps, I guess.

Also, please mind that RETRO and SPH come in a 2 color scheme. Would be cheaper if they came in only one color.

I will further reduce the whole thing and throw out all of the fluff.

10 days to go!

I'm waiting for this to happen before I put in my final order so please let us know when the price list has been culled down to its final version.

The deadline is in 10 days.

So, I think I should start collecting money for what had been ordered.

I doubt there will be any more orders coming in.

Shouldn't we have a RESULT list like Round 3 (ordered Qty, price, price/Qty...)? I think it encourages people to buy many more! It could help!

I did not. I did have a question that I included with my order message though, does that mess it up?

I apologize, never taken part in a group buy before.

Please ask questions here or 7bit, but not 7bit_R4.

7bit_R4 is just to submit orders, your e-mail address, shipping address, etc.

If I send a new order with a different kit will it just add it or get rid of my original. Basically I want to scrap my original order.

I believe it will add it to your existing order. There might be a clear all option or I think you can just set the quantity to 0 for the stuff you no longer want.

Ohhhh snap... things are getting serious. Could you maybe change title to [1WEEKLEFT] or something? Think a lot of late comers will come in now that the GB is finally coming to an end.

It will add, except you already ordered that kit, then it will overwrite.

Thanks for the explanation. I have a pre-order for a key and would like 2. Do I send another request? Will that increment the order or overwrite?

Thanks for the help.

All orders always overwrite what is there.

Example:

If you have:
SPH/TERMINAL 1
SPH/SPACEUNI 1
SPH/POS 1
SPH/FUNCTION 1
SPH/NUMERIC 1

And order:
SPH/TERMINAL 3
SPH/SPACEUNI 2
SPH/SPACE7BIT 2
SPH/POS 2

You get:
SPH/TERMINAL 3
SPH/SPACEUNI 2
SPH/SPACE7BIT 2
SPH/POS 2
SPH/FUNCTION 1
SPH/NUMERIC 1

Can't be simpler!

I did. In fact I looked up the next three pages after the idea submission and couldn't find anything from you. Stupid me to not look at the last page. Well normally I would say that's it not just about you but about the GROUP in a _GROUP_ Buy, but since you put in all the work and have to organize everything, I guess you earned the right to shut ideas down if you don't like them. ;-) Also I'm a Linux (CentOS, Gentoo, Arch) user myself and use Windows mainly for my Gaming needs so I know how you feel about it, trust me. I just think it looks neat and would be a nice gimmick, if not for myself at least for a couple of friends/colleagues.

If you want the normal winflag, it is already there.

If you want the old winflag, maybe SP has it in their repertoire (as double shots).

But the new one looks so stupid, I will never add it to my group buy.
