Bro Caps Therapy

[FLFisherman]

Even though I am on the forums 24/7

I need a buddy to PM me when these go on

Yeah, if you're not on you wouldn't get the PM.  :))

[xJudas]

Hoff giving me heart attacks with all those Tapatalk notification on the sales page, LOL!

 ) The only thing that's killing me about it, is my email is super delayed. I get notifications several hours later. I might miss out on something 

[rowdy]

Even though I am on the forums 24/7 I always tend to miss sales... ):

I need a buddy who is equally on the forums as much as I am and PM me when these go on 

You think you miss sales!

At least you are in the right hemisphere.  In the right country

Do we have a clue what models will be offered in this upcoming sale. I have to assume the Reaper v2, and/or Reaper classic.

But if stumps, and v2's are discont. what else is there to raffle on? Can I pray for bronads?

With Bro it's always a surprise.

Yeah you are just gonna have to wait and see.

[DanielT]

I think this counts for therapy: my black Cherokey is in Munich/Germany needless to say I don't live there anymore ... I'm like 2000km away back home.  I can only hope it will be sent back to Bro

[FLFisherman]

All these TR8-0R cap pictures are making me crave Oreos. I think Bro works for Nabisco.

Well technically he would work for Mondelez.

I know this because my dad used to work for Nabisco who was bought by Kraft and then sold to Mondelez.

Yeah, business deals are more elaborate then I would have ever guessed. Kraft just merged with Heinz too and the new owners from Brazil came in and just eliminated a ridiculous amount of positions in order to save cost and bumped up everyone's work load. It was tough hearing about guys getting fired who were so close to retirement and hearing about people who stayed who weren't the best employees.

Sorry for the derailment.

I couldn't honestly say. I would hope that the person who won the cap in the sale entered for the reason of keeping and using the cap. Not to immediately put it up as trade fodder because they know how crazy some people will go over the cap.

There is no minimum, if you don't like the cap just dont buy it. And if you you're not sure don't buy it and if you changed your mind you can alwaystrade some other caps for it.

I just don't understand the people that buy it and put it for trade the same day they got it

That's a little unfair though. The only way to acquire some caps is with trade fodder (unless you want to try throwing money at someone, but that usually doesn't work).

I really don't understand the frustration some of you feel against these actions. Flipping the caps I understand, but using them as trade bait? That's the nature of the game.

It's not really a matter of time, rather it's more about how these people obviously entered the sale (which was for a singular model cap) for trade fodder or quick cash

I wouldn't expect someone who genuinely liked the cap to decide they wanted to let it go hours after receiving it

Nah, you keep posting about this likes it's fact but you're wrong to say that it's 'the way it is'. I got my entire collection from the original makers (or GH giveaways <3). No cash. No endless cycles of F5 for increasing my hordes of trade fodder.

Maybe serial up-traders like yourself need to say that to make themselves believe it's an ok thing to do. I dunno.

Looking at someones work and seeing it for it's aftermarket value and using it towards other goals, rather than enjoying the cap/art is ****ed up.

That's my opinion.

I just want you to consider a point of view besides your own. Do you think I don't enjoy the the cap/art because I am trading it away? That disappoints me because it means you've made a snap judgement about the "serial up-traders" and myself.

Certain designs aren't being sold anymore, simple as that. How do you expect people to acquire the V2 Bots or different Binge designs or even SnacKeys if not by trading? Are you telling everyone that they're screwed because they missed the original sale?

I think maybe I've misinterpreted something you've said, or maybe I've not stated something clearly enough, but I really don't see what's wrong with trading caps.

Him being upset comes from the fact that there are people out there who actually wanted the cap and some of the people who won the cap just wanted it for trade fodder. It sucks to see that happen and I have been in the shoes of people who missed out and saw caps go up for trade to be used as fodder.

That is it. Yeah it is tough to get caps without having something to trade but if you are patient enough you will have a chance to get a hold of caps you actually want through sales.

Come on dude, you have like 20 keycaps up for trade. And you're going to sit there and pretend like you didn't put some of them up right after getting them in the mail? Just checking the two first keycaps in your classifieds- you put a Star Cluster Reaper and a Nebulus V2 two/three days after receiving them from the Cosmos Sale.

Just because someone puts up something for trade quickly doesn't mean they don't appreciate it. There are just things they would prefer more, and decent people realize that you have to give up something to get something.

[whmeltonjr]

As someone that got into the mech game too late to buy a BBV2 from Bro directly, it sucks to try to get one. I've tried to buy them, but nobody sells them for retail, and I'm not paying $200 for one. I also understand the frustration with seeing caps up for trade as soon as they're received. If you haven't been around for a long time, you're kinda darned if you do darned if you don't to an extent. Anyway, I'll end my rant here and say if anyone is selling a BBV2 for retail I'm down.  )

Nice detective work. I did do that ~7 months ago. It wasn't exactly a sale with one choice of cap so and I didn't get my top choices and decided to put them up for trade for very specific key caps only. I still have all my cosmic caps and they've all lived on my boards. Even though I have been offered very good deals and/or cash for them - I just never found what I was precisely looking for. For the record I never 'pretended' I didn't do that and in hindsight I think it was pretty gung-ho and a dumb thing to do.

If that's the same of trying to flip a TR8-0R (sale with only one item/variation) for 'any interesting offers' or a full GMK set (lol)... Or if it's anything the same as the Cherokey GB where people had days to pick up as many as they want to only go and use them as trade fodder day 1...  then go ahead and call me a hypocrite, but I think it's very different.

To be fair though; my points and frustration are more at the people who are burning though trades constantly. Theres a big group of people doing it with new post on mechmarket every 3 days. I never said anything about the amount of offerings people had at a given time. It's about people who trade for something then instantly have it up again as soon they get it (I'll save you more detective work: the only trade I received that I didn't want to keep is the Raven). For sure 100% that is not appreciating the caps. Maybe people don't care about that but I do so I thought I'd comment.


EDIT: yea, also still waiting on my Cherokeys so it does get me all rustled to see people trying to squeeze as much trade value as they can out of them before mine have even arrived

That is it. Yeah it is tough to get caps without having something to trade but if you are patient enough you will have a chance to get a hold of caps you actually want through sales.

If you only enter sales for caps you *really* want.. when you miss out on those, what can you do? It's "better" to enter more sales, so if you miss out you can try and trade towards a cap you do want.

[Diokhan]

The point is there are a lot of artisanless people out there not getting their caps while people who only enter the raffle to trade them.
There is not much you can do about it.. just try to do the same and keep trading or be lucky in an after sale/raffle.
I got lucky with an after sale and my first bro cap is on the way

I've been torn over this philosophy, but ultimately I don't enter any raffles if I don't truly want the cap. This goes for all artisans, not just Bros.  While it does reduce my chances, the day I do win a raffle for something I want will feel like Christmas.

[xondat]

I think it depends on the person, I really wanted to get my first Bro's as they're what got me into mechanical keyboards. On the other hand, I would like to trade them for a BBv2, as it is my favorite design and the Slurple V2/Bro Purple V2 specifically are my goals & the first I saw.

Wait for the next sale. If you truly have no interest in the cap being sold though and want it just for trade fodder, as is the case here it's pretty ****ty.

If you enter a raffle with 6 caps and get one of your last choices, then try to trade for your first or second I can understand more where you are coming from.

[Fire Brand]

Frank as possible I think everyone commenting on this are a bunch of hypocrites because we all know full well, people enter every sale possible by, bro or be it clack and binge with trading for something in mind, so lets not belittle people for wanting to get something they actually want, because they only way to get a key is to trade a key (Bar spending stupid money) anyway thats my thoughts, stop being salty you didn't get one and just smile and wave folks, smile and wave.

Edit: and before someone says well people sell for retail too, yeah sure but very rarely and to select people just covering my bases on the reply side of stuff.

[xJudas]

I skipped a couple sales because I didn't particularly want the one for sale. At least Bro does sales/giveaways for people who don't have a Brocap yet. 

[mobbo]

I think people are allowed to do what they want with the things they have purchased.

I also think people are allowed to have an opinion on certain types of behaviour.
