I will be posting extras, preproduction keys, Factory 2nds, and various special sales here in a few different ways. Some will be in a first come first serve format, some by priority/tally, and some by invite. These keys will usually be different and may be a good bit less common than the keys offered normally (e.g. Elitekeyboards).

Please pay close attention to the General instructions in reply #1  AND  the specific sale instructions in reply #2.

(updated: 7.27.12)
Instructions for ordering-

1)  No Pre-orders available unless otherwise stated. Take note if you are even eligible for the sale you are interested in.

2)  Because of their relatively limited nature I will be offering only a certain limited number of keys per person and they usually have to be of different keys. I think this is a fair idea.

3) Your order should be in the following format (DO NOT SEND A PM)
   A) Email me with your geekhack screen name and the sale name on your subject line.
   B) In the email list the items you're interested in and list them by their item refernce/code. This could be a letter, number, and/or name (whichever is listed first).
   C) Wait for me to send you a quote with payment instructions. Your order is good for 24hrs after I send my quote, good excuses will work though (e.g., my dog ate my payment).

4)  Paypal only, and please send as goods only.  (sexual favors will no longer be accepted)
Please provide your screen name, order, and shipping address in the payment notes section. This is extreeeeemely helpful.  =)

5)  Shipping is by way of USPS, expect $5 for Domestic (first class w/delivery confirmation), International expect $7 (only first class).

6) Don't try and screw me over , I am just one person doing my best and these are all very labor intensive and time consuming. Please don't try and stress me out because you like the idea(s) of a dishonest freebie or cheating the system. I will not only Black List you if I think you're shady, but I will send my legion of well fed pigeons and seagulls after you! Umbrellas and roofs will stop nothing!

7) Please reread and follow the instructions in this post as well as the next one (reply#2). Thank you and MTFBWY!

More keys to come very soon

Factory 2nds sale #2  ENDED! (5.10.13)

Only 4 of these special F2 packs will be sold in this sale.



Very similar to the ones pictured above ^. You will be receiving 3 MX skulls
very similar to the ones originally offered by EK and previous F2 sales.

Factory 2nd items are ones that can differ slightly when compared to their production brethren.
They're still rather quality items but the color maybe off, the sheen or texture might be a little
off/inconsistent, or a very slight discoloration may be present. All Factory 2nds have a hole in the back
of the keycap. Some people use them as keychains and some have just used them as a spy tool or
peep hole, if you will, when hiding from people in their keyboard. My gnomes pointed that
strategy out as they suggested we should cater more to the smaller forum members.

Rules/Guidelines for the sale-
- x1 set per person only (sold only as a complete set)
- USA only  (no international shipments, sorry, not this time)
- No proxy thingy or whatever. You buy it, I ship to you and you alone.
- Email me only (no PMs)
- Include "F2 set" and your GH screen name in the subject line of your email order.
- Once I receive your email/order I will reply with a quote and instructions.
- Paypal only.
- Shipping is included in the price.
- If you don't get an email back from me, your order didn't make it in. Sorry, but there are only 4 sets available.

Items for sale-
- F2 set, includes: 1 red skull, 1 blue skull, and 1 yellow skull. $60

Factory 2nds are items that can differ slightly when compared to their production brethren.
They're still rather quality items but the color maybe off, the sheen or texture might be a little
off/inconsistent, or a very slight discoloration may be present. All Factory 2nds have a hole in the back
of the keycap. Some people use them as keychains and some have just used them as a spy tool or
peep hole (if you will) when hiding from people in their keyboard. My gnomes pointed that
strategy out as they suggested we should cater more to the smaller forum members.

- 2 MAXIMUM keys per person and they must be different keys. They can be the same or different switch type. (No 2 of the same key)
- USA only  (no international shipments, sorry, not this time)

- Include "F2" and your GH screen name in the subject line of your email order.
- If you are interested, list your second and third choices on the list in case I run out of your top/initial pick.
- Once I receive your email/order I will reply with a quote and instructions.

We need another "4Grabs" event to put the new hardware through its paces.  Honestly, it shouldn't affect performance at all. (as opposed to the previous hardware)  

[iMav]

By the way did I mention new keys? lol

          

[ClackFactory]

Who you callin a H.O.?

Sale up in reply #2. WOOT!

[ClackFactory]

NO MO H.O.s

The sale has now concluded.

[ClackFactory]

All quotes have been sent out.
If you did not receive a reply from me with a quote then unfortunately you had just missed out. It's a bummer I know, but it happens to the best of us.

Thanks again everyone for making the first part go smoothly. I hope the international shipping follows that trend.

-cc   =)

The gnomes are sad cuz we all outta H.O.s!

[ClackFactory]

AKk! Good Gawd, you guys are killing me.

1. Q: What's 25 + 5 ?

2. Q: What's 25 + 7 ?

3. Q: Do you have a phone #? Would you care to provide it?

Please recheck your submissions. I should only be receiveing $30 and $32 respectively per order but for some reason I keep getting $25, $27, and $31.
And now that I finally specifically ask for your phone number (for international orders) less people provided it than ever before.

If you were short money please submit the difference in a new payment.
If you didn't add your phone number (international only) please email it to me and include your screen name and/or real name in the email as well.

Some of you are such repeat offenders at the above (including other omissions) that sadly I've memorized your mistakes to the point of not needing you to correct them anymore. lulz

Seriously though guys, c'mon help me out a little here. I just barely have enough time to do these sales, and even then, I still have to move my work schedule around.

Thanks for listening and I hope some of you rectify these seemingly itty-bitty problems soon. They add up to one big mess sometimes.

-cc  =)

[ClackFactory]

Only two members left who have not paid, reminder emails have been sent (you know who you are). Please conclude the transaction and/or respond soon. Thanks  =)
 
And thank you to those who corrected the previous issues with their order. I really appreciated the quick responses, that helped a lot. 
Some domestic packages went out today. I'll probably be shipping throughout the week.

cc OUT!

[ClackFactory]

Most domestic orders have shipped (just a couple/few left). Most international orders have yet to ship.
All orders have been received and paid. If you were curious, a little over 1/3 of the orders were international.  =)
Thanks again everyone. I will update again when all orders have finally shipped.

-cc

[ClackFactory]

All orders (domestic and international) have been shipped! =D

Thank you again everyone, I'd say all in all this one went smooth too.
