I asked about a set to lower the prices if possible.  7 down, 6 up, and 1 backspace in a set.

Nyan Cat Set (1 x Backspace - 7 x Up - 6 x Down)

25 sets $29.51 / set
50 sets $24.98 / set
75 sets $23.47 / set
100 sets $22.71 / set
150 sets $21.96 / set
200 sets $21.58 / set
250 sets $21.36 / set
500 sets $20.90 / set

+$40 setup charge (not $80)

The fee would be divided into each set as well which has not been added yet!

I can keep going to the other tiers if you guys want, but I doubt we will reach those numbers.  Tell me what you guys prefer, ordering single keys or full sets.

Edit: I am not sure where we stand at this point.  I might delete all nyan cat posts and just redo it.  At this point, this is a lot cheaper than just buying individual keys.  $26.91 (2.07 x 13 1x1 keys) + $2.96 (1 backspace key) comes out to $29.87.  Reaching anywhere from 75 keys would already be plenty nice.

Looks like sets will be the way to go.  The pricing for 25 sets (which adds up to less than 200 of each up & down keys), is better than the individual pricing for 8x as many keys.

Also, if we do hit your expected number of orders of sets, then the price per set will be close to the incorrect low price from last time.

I still think there should be an option for backspace only.

I'll have to agree, I'm sure there are quite a few people with V1 Nyancat sets who would like the new backspace SVG alone.

I think we can do this.  It would make sense.  How would the extra keys work though?  Would you guys like a few keys for trail? or just a single backspace key, because that would be the best option.  I'm not sure if the UP/DOWN can reach near 500.

Sorry for all this confusion.  I am going to get back to everyone slowly telling them to recheck the thread because of this change.

Yeah, I'd definitely like the backspace only option, that way I could order a few sets and then a few backspace keys -- I really just wanted it on - + and backspace, for example.

Oh yeah, I didn't know there was a new Backspace.  I have a full R1 set but would buy an updated Backspace if possible.  I don't imagine offering that separately would detract from the R2 full set orders ... the individual Backspaces will just cost a bit more than they would in a set.

So are we supposed to send a new PM with a new order in terms of sets? I will still buy 2 sets. Nyancat and Portal are the two most awesome keycap sets I think have ever been made.

Yes please, just respond to the message with the amount of sets you want to change to!  I will add the list to a link soon!

If you want individual rainbows, then you can ask someone who would like the backspace.  I can ship it to them with your verification.

If you guys want to keep track of your order, then I will update through this link. http://goo.gl/6pH8P.
If you guys do not want your amount to be publish, then please send a message to KeyboardStory! The reason I added this was because of all the changes recently, so I would want you guys to know if I have your orders correct.

Wow SP's dye-sub prices changed that much? That's sad. I'll still be in for a set. I'll be placing my order a little later though.

Was planning to order 2 sets with the original pricing. Now it's double per key not including setup charges.

Okay so I am in no way attempting to start a flame war but I would like to clarify that at your current shipping prices, you are in line to make significant profit with this group buy. Obviously I don't mind in the slightest if you do, and I believe you deserve it and should be making something in exchange for your time. However you are clearly advertising it as pro-bono and blatantly knocking group buy organizers such as myself that do. If you're going to be using bubble mailers, even including the cost of buying the them, your domestic cost is going to be under $2, and international (Canada OR anywhere else) under $4... So a profit of $2-4 per package. You're looking to get $75-100+ orders, so that's a few hundred dollars and the cost of bubble mailers is only $15-20. You won't be doing many flat rate boxes, but your profit there is at least $1.05 to $2.05 as well.

But yeah, either don't be a jerk about other people's choices in running group buys and get off of the high horse, or actually walk the walk please. It really irritates me that you'd advertise this as "the white knight group buy that saves you from the tyranny of greedy group buy organizers"... who themselves are just as benevolent but just looking for something in exchange for their time.

Dave out.

It works out cheaper for most people, since mainly people want a full set. I think what you want to do is find someone who doesn't want to have all the rainbow bits of their set, and buy just the backspace and get the rainbow bits from these people.
