Breaking Bad keycaps

[reaper]

I'd likely be in as well, but it seems like everyone is saying in...no one taking action? 

It seems like we need someone to guide us lol. I certainly have no clue how to start up a group buy

Start an Interest Check thread first in the Group Buy section.  After that, contact an appropriate vendor/manufacturer (ie. QWERKeys, imsto, SP, etc).  Good luck with the group buy and I'm in for a set. lol

Anyone who starts an Interest Check for some key caps will always get this guy in your group buy.  You already start with 2 people no matter what.

To be honest I don't really feel comfortable taking the reigns on this, I think there's a lot of people that could do it better and/or have more experience than I do (seeing as I don't have any, lol).

In other group buys, any idea of roughly how many people need to show interest for it to get the green light? Like what's usually the minimum order amount for custom keys etc.

Typically 50 or more before a good price is reached.  I bet i3oilermaker would be interested in running it.  He's good at doing the art, as well.

50 keys or 50 sets of keys? If sets, how many keys need to be in a set, or does it not matter?

Definitely get him to do it.  Only if he has free time and if he's genuinely interested in running it.  Just don't want to put the hard word on him, but he has been quite successful in running Group Buys in the past and there has been no complaints whatsoever.

If you want a Group Buy that is totally honest, seamless and punctual then he is the hombre (or the W.W. of Key-caps).

50 of whatever you're ordering, in this case I assume that means a 2-key set.

Thanks for the manufacturer's links, that's what I was badly missing (plus QWERKeys is in Europe, making things easier for me regarding customs and shipping, I'll also check with SP though)
I'll then give it a try 
I need to figure out prices and details (double shot, pbt, clear caps choice, shipping costs...) and I'll keep you posted with the interest check.


PS: how do you add images in a post, I tried HTML tags with a file hosted on my dropbox but didn't work. thx

If you click reply (instead of just writing a quick-reply) you can hit the image button to give you the image tags

Maybe you don't have enough posts, I'm not sure how that works. But it's just simple forum image tags, [.img]http://Link Goes Here[./img] Without the periods

I'm going to start an interest check for these keycaps, using Batmann's concept art (if he doesn't mind, that is).  I feel we should try to get this off the ground ASAP.

I said I would keep you posted with the interest check. I'm surprised you set it off on your own...
I  already contacted qwerkeys and SP to get all the details for the interest check.
