Overpaying for Artisans- The Taboo Topic

[VesperSAINT]

Also this thread is getting really terrible, and we should steer ourselves back on topic. 

I'll start with a new page... #100 get.

*shrugs*

  I jest.

[MiTo]

ill fill you in

flatline is the colorway that keycap is based upon, im not sure what a vintage reaper is but you were asking for a flatline classic reaper, a new design of bros which is an iteration of his previous work

you didnt ask for a trade, you asked for a sample, and subsequently offered to exchange snacks

due to your past threatening behaviour towards members of the bro caps and ctrl alt team, your request was not replied to, you then proceeded to start messaging other members of ctrl alt

I'm seeing a Pulse Classic Reaper, still not sure about what flatline is good sir. As far as I know there's only one black and blue keyset in existence and it's called Pulse. Such artisan keycap is a perfect fit for it due to the precisely chosen aqua and black colors.

Yes, I asked if he wanted to send a cap and exchange food. Isn't this a trade?

Also, since you're spitting some stuff out, could you please display what other messages did I send to other members?

Actually, if you want to keep this discussion somewhere else let's do it, but that's not the goal of this thread.

I personally do not sell my keycaps, either at retail or at high aftermarket prices. I don't sell at aftermarket prices because I'm friends with Bro -- I think FrostyToast's metaphor about the lamp is quite apt here -- and I don't sell at retail because it's simply not worth my time. Many people are the exact same way. Perhaps I'm even more privileged than many here, but I live in NYC and the $30 I'd get from a BBv2 at retail would be gone in a few cappuccinos. Many are the same way, and the way to overcome that for some is to offer more money such that it makes it worth it to sell.

TFW it is worth it for me to sell at retail.   

)

Prove it to me!

(Me personally… no need to get these other folks involved…)

You can reference the thread where I sold a whole bunch at retail. 

I like how no matter the intention of a thread, if MiTo gets involved it seems to always devolve into a crap show.

He has a way with people.

Seriously though, this is a topic on Artisan caps, not MiTo.  Regardless of my personal feelings on the matter, I will be removing any further off-topic posts from this thread.

Holy hell dude, just stop.  You're not being funny, you're not being clever, you're being an ass.  This thread is not the place to make snide remarks about CtrlAlt, and I've already posted in here to stop off-topic attacks.

Snide remarks? What are you talking about?!

I said that the cap was a Pulse Reaper and that I don't know what flatline is, what the freaking hell are you talking about?! I'm being serious here, don't know how Americans perceive what I'm talking but I'm asking a legit question.

you are being facetious

you know exactly what flatline is, but to remind you, its the set that you re offered pulse just to spite

and moreover, it is the colorway of that brocap, which the distributer of said bro cap informed you of in the very post you were quoting

[Karura]

People can stop PMing me about the Rare Clack now.

It's been sold to appleonama for $1, thx

[demik]

you know, sometimes when i tell people about my hobbies this is my favorite part that i mention.

the drama on a keyboard forum over artisan caps. sure, they think im retarded but man is it fun reading this ****.

mito, are you ****ing dense? out of all that **** you've done how can you sit there and tell somebody else wtf to do.

[byker]

Hi everyone, As Hoff said, please move on to the current thread topic. Anymore posts regarding this current discussion will be removed. Mito has recieved a mute for his posts.

[demik]

with that said, im going to start a new trend. i will take the bullet and start under paying the retail value for all your artisans.

some may call it selfless, i call it being a team player.

[crickclackman]

Now I know why this is a taboo topic.

So far the artisans I've sold I've sold at a loss of at least a couple o' bucks each. *shrugs*

Wait, after I get the stuff all prepped to ship to you for free, you offer cash?

[calvinhousecat]

I personally believe that you can almost get any cap you want if you just have enough patience. I think the only exception to this is the Tritium Valve CCs and the Skeletor(White on Purple) CC

When I first got into this hobby back in 2014, I was immediately hooked onto Artisans and was overwhelm by the large variety there was. Before the 2015 Artisan maker boom, there was Clack, Bro, Binge, HipsterPunks, and Martin(if I forgot others I apologize, these 5 were the ones that I saw on the regular). I didn't even know where to start, downloaded Tapatalked and marked notifications on for every manufacturer. But that still didn't help because I was getting rekt left and right.

I finally got my artisan when I won the application race(this was before Martin did a group buy style sales) for HKPs which got me a Black and Red Raven. I was so happy, but I wasn't done I wanted a cap from every maker.

I got my first Binge a month later from Hoffman's Christmas sale netting me a champagne Keyng(this was what really got me addicted to artisans). I stayed up until 1am refreshing HipsterPunk's home page every second to buy a Fatigued Green Vandal. I got my first ever clack from camping my computer during Clackevent. (Actually got another one too, and it was a OG tri! Never thought I would touch a tri clack in my lifetime).Got my first BroCap from a classifieds thread from suicidal_orange! Won my first ever Brocap from the email race for the Cosmos sale(before this I was 0/8).

I think people who overpay for artisans(I'm talking about +$100 retail price) is just lacking the patience, and but I don't blame them

I knew this thread would devolve into drama, but I never would have guessed it would be more mito drama

The last time I got a Zombro I got an Enraged Bruce and Albino Keywok.
So maybe.

[jbondeson]

Meh. You won't find me buying or selling at "market" prices, but I don't really find issue with those that do -- with the slight exception for profiteers (or more nicely agents of arbitrage).

What I do find funny is some of the interesting ... uhhh, "inconsistencies" in people's values with regard to artisans vs. keyboards. The same people who get really vocal about selling artisans for multiples of retail will happily buy and sell korean boards at the same multiples with little thought.

Maybe you guys need to start making "fake" trades to deflate the market.

[iamtootallforthis]

I thoroughly enjoyed reading through this thread.

I do have to admit that I paid way above retail for a Gumrot Ogre from CV. I don't regret doing it but I don't plan on paying that much ever again.

[Pdub]

Bro Caps, if you need any proof that people don't like your newer designs as much as they like the V2, just create a poll and ask which one they prefer, the TR8-0R or the Celestial Blue BBV2. Or perhaps Vintage Reaper or the Ribbit. I don't understand your aggressiveness bud, just relax and try to learn something good out of this discussion man.

er. um I need to reread everything. ..

[fanpeople]

Dis thread doe. Gave me the giggles. GG everyone, GG.

[Pdub]

SO I WAS GOING TO COMMENT ON EVERYTHING HOWEVER I THINK IT IS BEST WE MOVE ON. I thank you guy for stepping in with the Mito stuff.

SEE. But I am glad it happened. Not the mito stuff, he is dumb.


Side note to BroCaps - I love my Zombro just as much as my BBv2, if not more. It reminds me of GOTs. Glad you are making other designs.

Ah. I see. Wetzel's Pretzels (especially cinnamon) look a lot better.

To the topic at hand, it sucks to overpay for something, but if it's worth that amount to you, why not pay it?

They're not the best around but they're really good fresh.

That's not the issue. Some artisans explicitly state not to sell for above retail or face bans. Some don't want to see flipping for profit.
