I don't think anyone's trying to be punny here...0.o
Well then you don't have to buy the key... PISS OFF! :P JK! I'm having so much fun with this pun thread!
Wait, there's a CC sale?
why can't anyone keep a secret or at least be subtle?? :-\Good point...
"Hop" on to the EK website. I've said it before! :D

Only i3 could go through a doubleshot so quickly...
I did? When did I say this?
Wow thanks for heads up, I always miss these and would really like to actually own a CC but it's hard because of how much they're wort on the blackmarket
Budweiser is really good, the original one in Czech, not the American one. I kind of like the Oktoberfest keycap, but oem profile always ruins it. Why oem CC? Why can't you make a special edition in Cherry? Why?Doesn't OEM mean original equipment manufacturer? So if he were selling these in cherry profiles then they would be compatible with cherry OEM keys, right? I think people are confusing the term OEM to mean Filco and Leo. He still makes keys that are more compatible with cherry profiles. At least I think he still does. I never saw them on EK but I have many cherry-like keys from clickclack. The skulls, bunnies (leap, squat, snuggle, flop), ocean, Hi-Tex, etc. I know for a fact though that at the time there was very little demand for those profiles. I think the skulls were all cherry profile originally.
Ah, I get it, it's a misnomer.
When we used to say Cherry OEM keys it mean the keys originally provided by Cherry. Must be recently that we switched (haahaa) it up.
That's cool, now I feel back in the loop.

Thought I'd give you guys a heads up so you don't use up those 50 million keystrokes on your F5 key. The delay on these is for some final testing of what we hope will be the first "fair" CF sale - the most important point of which is that being on the website in the first 30 seconds of the sale won't help your chances of getting one. Just being on the newsletter should be enough.
What's odd is I signed up for the newsletter months ago and have never received a single email about anything from ek.

The last newsletter they sent out was in July. July 5th to be exact. Brian aka elitekeyboards posted earlier they haven't sent one in months due to being busy. Also, I don't believe they send a confirmation email when you signup.

Pieces of plastic are definitely more important than school. The solution to this problem couldn't be any clearer. Just skip the test.....
When you click on the caps, there's a Soon thing instead of an add to cart.

any info on how large the stock is?
it somehow feels, to me, like this prolonged advertising of the caps is due to a large stock that has to sell quick...
Maybe this will be the first mass produced clack sale where they will keep selling until all demand is met *crosses fingers and toes*

Highly doubtful. I like that CC doesn't mass produce anything. Cheapens the brand.What do you mean cheapen the brand? My two CCs sit in a plastic box just like all my other $3 signature plastics keys. I enjoy them just as much as any other key caps I can put on my keyboard. Making them super rare, and crazy expensive in the after market just makes it more frustrating then it needs to be to acquire and own them. It seems pretty selfish to want to be one of the few lucky to get in on a sale, or privileged being invited to private sales, or custom orders that not just anyone can place. Then again this keyboard and key cap hobby is the most selfish hobby I've ever had, so maybe it just comes with the territory. I hate when things turn into "from the community, but for a few"

just wish there was some little code or something on these caps so we can tell they came from this buy (when it ever goes ahead) so we can snuff out any profiteering. $35 cap that sells for a real market value of $100 plus... alot of people are going to be tempted.
There was a lot of use of the word 'actual' in that last sentence. But rowdy is right, for the most part.

i SUPPORT market value and its fairly safe to say the market value of clacks is between $80-$200 depending on the rarity of the cap.
i'd have no issue with EK just selling them for this price.
my problem is the vultures that will stock up on these $35 caps from EK sales to make $100 profits.
me buying the cap at the proper market value is nothing the same if you think it is you need to get something checked....
anyway, someone made a thread so might as well use it!

Really? Let's not descend into personal attacks. MMB is correct, it appears you don't see how you paying a premium encourages this price gouging. This is simple economics.
If there are people selling you a widget for $1 million, and nobody buys, are they going to keep selling at $1 million? No. So they keep reducing the price until someone decides they will buy the widget. This establishes a value that a buyer will pay for that widget.
Now let's look at CC's. If I'm holding a 3D, and I want to sell for $100. You come over rayuki, and buy my clack for $100. I now know that people will pay $100 for a 3D clack. So I go and buy them at cost ($30) and keep selling them to you because you'll pay at $100. However if you didn't purchase at $100, in fact, if nobody would buy these for anything more that at cost, the price of these caps, aftermarket, would be $30 or even less.
You are helping drive up prices by purchasing high. It is simple as that. If nobody would buy high, then this problem would go away because the gougers wouldn't buy something they couldn't make a quick buck on. I hope I was clear enough.
And please, keep nationalities and personal attacks out of this. Makes you look bad, not MMB.
Cheers,

why would you register for something you dont want, that is a major **** move that shows that all you're interested in doing is flipping keys.It doesn't have to even be associated with flipping keys.
so you're going to make it harder for the people who only registered for topre keys to get what THEY want?
I'm in two minds to register for Topre aas well as MX. I'm thinking that if I get MX - great. But if I get Topre maybe I can trade with someone who got MX but wanted Topre.
Either way I don't think I'd sell them, MX or Topre.

so you're going to make it harder for the people who only registered for topre keys to get what THEY want?Yes because you can't stop everyone from doing it as well. You know people who only want topre will also be trying for the MX keys just in case. I feel like trading is encouraged with CCs so I don't understand why this is a problem. I guess it is a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario.
i sure as hell am not doing that because i'd rather somebody who actually WANTS an MX key gets one without having to pay double shipping just to trade with someone else.so you're going to make it harder for the people who only registered for topre keys to get what THEY want?Yes because you can't stop everyone from doing it as well.

ideally we'd all have what we want and we wouldnt be having this discussion :P i see what you mean but if we all stop doing that then it won't be a problem even if there are a couple of bad apples in the bunch. that makes it much clearer to EK and CF what people ACTUALLY want so they can be prepared next time they have a sale.you act like i have a better chance of getting what i want, and then turn around and claim to be registering for all of them to have a better chance at getting ANY click clack regardless of how much you actually want that specific key?Not at all, but your attitude is very idealistic.

Put myself down for mx tri skull and beer, and a topre candycorn.
It's only $200 if you bid on all of them. Or if you proxy and use a different address and paypal account $400.
But then clacks have sold for $500, so wouldn't that be, best case $8000? Not bad for not a days work.
When it comes to CCs clack factory is not increasing production or availability or pricing and the aftermarket is insane.
When it comes to CCs clack factory is not increasing production or availability or pricing and the aftermarket is insane.
But why should he increase the units produced for each sale? These are meant to be seen as art not mass produced pieces of plastic.
I bet they will filter it out so noone gets all of them. Wouldn't be surprised if you get a max of two wins (and even that might be questionable).I would hope not. They implemented a lottery where you can place an entry into eight separate drawings, and never once did they mention that they would limit total amount allowed per person.

Both points are valid. I guess I would just hope for a little more transparency in matters such as this. I understand them leaving it to the luck of the draw, but if a persons' entries win across the board, limiting them in a system that you set up is wrong to me unless it was stated prior to the start.I bet they will filter it out so noone gets all of them.

Exactly. The entire economy is based on what people want, not what they can easily get...
It's simple Geekhack economics. We all want CCs. But we can't all have CCs, so that's why they have such a high resale value.
The fact of the matter is they already are mass produced. The ORIGINAL carved by hand skull was the art, everyone single gnome that pulls one of these out of a mold is the mass production. He should sell hand carved where each key is unique for $80-200, and he KNOWS people would buy them. Then sell the keys from a mold at the same prices as today but produce more of them to meet demand. What would be so bad about making everyone happy? The art people get their art, the collectors can have tons of CC skulls at more reasonable prices. This is how real art works.When it comes to CCs clack factory is not increasing production or availability or pricing and the aftermarket is insane.
But why should he increase the units produced for each sale? These are meant to be seen as art not mass produced pieces of plastic.
There isn't a new carving for each run so there is only really one true original. They are all produced in molds but if you read what CC says then you will see that he considers each one to be a little piece of art and I agree with him.Hey masochism isn't for everyone, good for you!
It would ruin CC caps if they were mass produced, the scarcity and fun of finding one is part of the reason that I like them so much.

Why would you be invited to a dibs sale? CC only invites a few important members and friends not random people from the forum.The situation is very uncomfortable or there would not be pages upon pages of threads over these keys like there are. How does one become an "important member" to be privileged enough to get an invite to a dibs sale? Why should someone have to be placed into a raffle to have a chance to buy something? Why is buying extras to trade for different caps frowned upon? Then buying extras to sell for profit is even more frowned upon. Some people get upset with those who have keys showing them off to people that don't have any, and can't seem to get them. SO MUCH is uncomfortable in the attempts to buy/trade/sell CCs. From my experiences it feels like some kind of cruel sick joke. I would like to feel the same way I do as other caps "Oh hey this thing is for sale I'm excited, click buy or send a PM, and a couple days/weeks/months later it arrives"
It's not masochism, it's about enjoying the chase. Masochism implies that most would find the situation uncomfortable and that is not what you should feel when trying to buy caps.
So how would you have key cap : keyboard sales work?
Honestly what would be so bad if everyone could buy every CC color they wanted? Some people wouldn't feel they are a beautiful and unique snowflake?That's exactly right. There are so many things in this world of keyboards that are produced in large quantities, why can't there just be some that aren't? Some that are more unique and harder to obtain?

Because people get butthurt when they can't get everything immediately and on their own terms.
I assumed a Tapatalk error.

Aha, that makes sense now doesn't it?
Silly Tapatalk...

Any particular reason why you posted that three times?
There are also a lot of people in this community that can't justify paying $60+ for 1 clickclack. If the sale price was raised to that amount, I'm sure there are a lot of people here that would probably never own one.. myself included.I never have, and never will pay more than $30 for a CC. I'm just not one of those people with disposable income that I can throw money at the things I want. Good for people that can, but they make the secondary market for clacks ridiculous and impossible for many.
That's all I have to add :) I've already signed up to this draw!
