Lol I'm not sure what's crazier! That he thinks he can get that kind of money or that there's potentially someone out there who would pay it.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone does buy it. There will always be someone with enough money to waste.

I figured since this is one of the gh keys, it was worth noting on GH.

Yeah people are nuts. I just can't justify it, would much rather have a full set of GMK goodies from Originative or a Korean custom if I was going to go nuts spending.

You guys actually think he's trying to sell that for $1000? Seems like he's just trolling in response to cactux's post

In typical bitter ripster fashion, he's trolling and mocking GH.  What else is new?  Just look at all his posts mocking the current spat of CC sales and auctions in here.  He holds grudges and can't let things go.  I've had issues with him in /r/buildapc and spam.

I agree with you on that I would prefer to spend that much money on other things, but some ppl just value certain things more than others, I guess, and I can respect that. I want GMK goodies ~

Whatever makes you happy :thumb:

Agreed. When I first joined GH, I had a lot of admiration for his vast knowledge and helpfulness. Then it was like a light switch, and he went cray cray.

Not that it was directed at you. But, this post is here now, and someone mentioned trolling in regard to cactux, and it's been two weeks since he posted that.

I agree, he got power hungry from being the leader of a bunch of uninformed circlejerkers.

I'm surprised he even has a GH CC given that he doesn't like GH anymore.

Anyways he's just trolling for attention. And if someone were to buy it, it would be some kid who's fallen under ripster's spell

So I know many people are pretty upset about the situation or something, but I think the "$1000 dollar sale" is a pretty interesting satire on the state of the GH economy. I haven't been around for too long, yet I've seen that  CC sales are hugely controversial for both purchase interested and uninterested members. Regardless of current GH sales involving CCs, the continued creation of these specific keycaps, for lack of a better description, is adding fuel to the fire. Considering the wonderful quality of the GH community, it makes me sad to see that keycaps are causing social damage.

He's obviously mocking the $100-$500 per CC sales on here.

things like this only serve as a reminder to me that $1000 is a 'lot' of money to the majority of the world
makes me wonder how the average american will be able to pay that much for healthcare every MONTH

Not at all. It seems to be the equivalent of about 35k-40k a year in the USA.
