[IC] Valentine & Sanctuary blank keycaps!!
Paranoid:
Hi everyone,
A problem I always have when looking at these awesome kits is that it's almost always in ANSI QWERTY. It's great that they also offer a small ISO kit, but for all the people with difference languages and keyboard layouts I can imagine they don't want the wrong text on their caps. So let's try blanks!
I've contacted hazeluff and jil_jil32 if I can do this (because it's their kit) and we are good to go :)
So I was thinking of the following sets with single (1x) blank keycaps to cover ANSI and ISO boards (normally).
Set 1, dark grey from the Sanctuary kit (function, punctuation and qwerty keys)
Color code GX
13 x row 1
12 x row 2
12 x row 3
11 x row 4
= total of 48 keys
Set 2, white from the Valentine kit (function, punctuation and qwerty keys)
Color code WFK
13 x row 1
12 x row 2
12 x row 3
11 x row 4
= total of 48 keys
Set 3, red from the Sanctuary kit (function keys)
Color code RBV
13 x row 1
= total of 13 keys
To look at the colors you can visit the GB for the invidual keysets (don't forget to order some stuff while you're there ;) ):

I already asked for a quote from SP and these are the prices for now. I'm hoping we can get at least 25 sets per set! Then the GB will most likely continue.
Set 1 (48 1x keys):
1 set $220 per set
10 sets $38 per set
25 sets $25 per set
50 sets $21 per set
75 sets $19 per set
Set 2 (48 1x keys):
1 set $220 per set
10 sets $38 per set
25 sets $25 per set
50 sets $21 per set
75 sets $19 per set
Set 3 (13 1x keys):
1 set $56 per set
10 sets $10 per set
25 sets $7 per set
50 sets $6 per set
75 sets $5 per set
This is my first Group Buy, but seeing as these are only blank caps and the quantities aren't ridiculous I suppose I can manage ^^ I have no clue yet about the shipping costs but I think they will vary from €10-€20 give or take a couple of euro. I might have to calculate the shipping costs from SP to me in here as well.
Input and constructive comments are always welcome regarding this possible groupbuy, since this would be my first one :)
Now I can only ask you one more thing: INTERESTED?
**UPDATE: Seems some people prefer a full blank keyboard instead of only the function/alpha/punctuation keys. Let us know if you would prefer this!

So the valentine kit would only include whites, no pink modifiers?
I'd be interested if it were the full 104 or 87.

Well, the modifiers are not really (that much) language dependant, that's why I didn't include them. You can buy the full kit at the valentine GB, there is no need for me to order the entire set in blanks :)
It would also be much more expensive. But of course if there would be enough interest in a full blank kit, I guess another GB could be started (although I don't see the point). But my main reason for doing this is to support the current GB by providing extra blanks so people with other languages/layouts (like myself) can happily use these sets as well and fully participate in the GB's.

Who wants blank alphas but not modifiers? I would only buy a whole blank set and I think that many others feel the same.
