[GB] 1976 - Flashback to the Colors of the 70's (SA Row 3) --- Shipped

[hermith]

Now I've put in the orders for the two base sets as well. So a total of two base and two nordic/DE. Don't fail me now Jolikki and Engicoder, then I'll be screwed!

[Jolikki]

I just added one 6.25u spacebar as well as two additional nordic sets which I'm going to sell later, to get it to tip.
6 more to tip the spacebar and 3 more to tip the nordic.

My final order has not been placed yet. I will clean up the Nordic and Spacebar set for you guys. I will wait until the last hour.

[goflo]

We need some guys for the Ergodox Modifiers....go for it, only 6 more.

@engicoder
Thanks for cleaning up the Nordic Kit. That's just great to have a "correct" set of keys 

[engicoder]

Last chance folks....The Man is shutting this thing down at  (3pm EST) 19:00 UTC

Gah...need 7 more for the Alternate Gradient to tip. /cry

Yeah the numbers on the base set keep going up but not the Alt Gradient.  Kind of a bummer.

I am considering adding the alt to see if I can help it tip. Its so close.

[mashby]

Since my plea pitch for the Speciality kit doesn't look like it did anything to help make it tip, I just added the alternate gradient kit to my order. Hope that child kit tips!

Zee Germans stepped up and brought and extras of the German/Nordic kit to get it to tip, you guys  could do the same with the Alt Gradient.  I'm willing to buy a couple, and with swill pitching in, it will be very close.

Update: Done...only need 3 more to tip.

Thanks, Mashby!!

@engicoder

So as swill indicated the shipping to Canada is about $18?

Haha. Ya I have ordered the specialty kit (a while ago) and just added the alt grad kit to see if we can get it to tip.

Expect it to be 25$ to be safe. I would contact them if you are in Canada and ask them to ship it with standard USPS to make sure you get the cheapest shipping you can.

Only 2 more needed!

[engicoder]

@engicoder

Yes, swill said "If I remember correctly it was like 18$.". I can't guarantee that you will be charged this. PMK shipping costs are still a mystery to me. On checkout I was charged 0.10 per item for shipping. I assume they will adjust this when the deal is finalized.

[kittykatmax]

Just need two more to tip the Alt Gradient......thanks to those that have already helped to get us this close! /hug

[engicoder]

Only 2 more needed!

Oh, so close...
If, by chance, it doesn't quite make it, I will lobby HARD to have it produced anyway.

[kittykatmax]

Thanks, Engicoder!

[kittykatmax]

One more to tip the Alt Gradient...thanks to whomever just placed an order. <3

[Data]

Uuuuuuuuuggggggghhhhh.  I'm gonna rage if this stupid kit misses tipping by 1.

[swill]

One more to tip the Alt Gradient...thanks to whomever just placed an order. <3

It still shows as 7 on my screen.  How do you guys see these updates?

[kittykatmax]

I reloaded the main 1976 GB page at http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/1976/

strange.  its not updating for me.  ok, fair enough... 

[kittykatmax]

Alt Gradient is tipped.  Wewt!  Thanks to whomever pulled the trigger. /Cheers

Aside from liking the fact there are fewer brown keys (don't hate them, just like the other colors better), IMHO the Red/Orange/Yellow rows in the Alt Gradient look nicer with regards to the F keys.  So thanks again!

[engicoder]

Ding! Ding! Ding!  Alt Gradient had tipped!

[swill]

Alt Gradient is tipped.  Wewt!  Thanks to whomever pulled the trigger. /Cheers

haha, only 5 minutes to spare.

now the specialty kit is going to tip in the last 2 minutes (not likely, but i can't see the current number) and I am going to be in this GB for mad $$$.  haha...

[Data]

Alt Gradient is tipped.  Wewt!  Thanks to whomever pulled the trigger. /Cheers

In the final seconds!  One of the last 2 buyers tipped it.  That was close!

[kittykatmax]

I'm showing the Speciality kit needs 13 more.  It's just so expensive for something that some of us will never use.

Update:  And it's over.

[Data]

Here's what I'll be doing with mine, at least until Engicoder whips up another Specialty/Slang Kit buy for us (still hoping that happens).

[engicoder]

Well, that's it....Phew!!

Thanks to everyone who ordered and special thanks to those of you who stayed to the end and helped a the struggling German/Nordic and Alternate Gradient kits to tip!!

Now the big wait. 

[Jolikki]

Pow! Good work guys

[kittykatmax]

Darn I'm being chatty today....

Anyone know how the whole PayPal thing is handled?    I ordered in three bits across three days...two show as authorizations, one shows as an actual payment.  Presumably SP will figure out a total, including combined shipping, and deduct what they've already received before submitting for the balance?

Those 2 authorizations will probably turn into payments once SP sorts everything out with your order.  They will probably have adjusted (lower) amounts when they come through as payments.  Just keep an eye on your PayPal and you'll see how they do it.  PP breaks it down for you.

[Jolikki]

To everyone whose kits didn't tip - maybe this will cheer you up a bit.

That's sharp.  Using my lousy PhotoShop skills, this is what I'm toying with doing:

[mashby]

Kudos to engicoder for doing such a bang up job on the first phase of this group buy. It's a great design and you did a great job communicating with the community and working with PMK. It's a tall order, but you made it look easy.

Thank you.

+1...  I think engicoder has done a great job with this buy.  Very well done... 

[twiddle]

Bah, I hate timezones.
Here's hoping there will be spares

Email PMK right away, historically they allowed people to submit (or at least update) orders on the same day the buy closed.

Do we email signature plastics? I can't find PMK email address.

Ya, I would probably email that one since I think Melissa is on maternity leave right now.  She used to do all of the logistics, but there is someone new filling in for her right now I believe (read that somewhere else).

[hashbaz]

Super excited for this set.

I think Melissa might be back.  I want to say Bob has gone back to his regular job.  My last few emails with her were just signed -Melissa.

I also heard she might be doing some work from home.

I saw that she may be working from home a bit, but she just had a baby, so she needs a break. email sales and have them direct it on to whoever is doing this buy.

The Nordic set actually hit 17! Thanks guys. I'm glad I put in 4 different orders because I don't want to know how much I spent. A year ago I wouldn't even spend 100 bucks on a set. Hobbies are dangerous.

They called it WalletHack for a reason. 

[IvanIvanovich]

I hope my order change goes through... since the winkeyless didn't make it I guess I really need a numpad so I can build my RSIII for this set.

[FingerPunch]

The colemak didn't go through. Harsh. I guess it'll be another couple years for me where I'm typing colemak on a $100 qwerty set. 

It makes me not very fond of the way these group buys function on PMK. I want to know what I'm buying, so I know what should go with it.

I bought enough caps for 3 sets... oh wait, no I didn't.
