[IC] MKC Aluminum Case for Filco -- Group Buy or Not Group Buy?
feng:
Allright, I've said numerous times that I know how expensive MKC's aluminum case is, but there's nothing I can do to drop the price. Reference: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34606.0
And people still keep trying to make me feel bad about the price. T_T
So I just talked to MKC again, again! And here's the result we came out: If there're at least 10 orders, and no matter how many more order we will have (e.g. 1000 orders), we can get the the price down to $285 for each! And still, the shipping is $27 via DHL express directly shipped to you guys from China.
This is the best price I can get for this case. MKC said he can't reduce the price anymore lower because of the complexity. In the future, he might bring over a simple version of this case with a lower price.
And personally I would add a little promotion to this group buy: if you ordered a case, then you can add $20 for having a "Geekhack" aluminum backspace from here: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34409.0
So please post in this thread if you are interested and wanna jump into this group buy for sure.

I will be in for that price, but I can only purchase it by October :(.
dorkvader:
I think $285 is an excellent deal, but it's still, unfortunately, out of my range. Right now I'm anticipating using my neighbors hacksaw on my old tower, to get a steel resting plate and standoffs for my phantom.
Hopefully more people agree that this is a good price, and also have the means to make it good. That colour chart was really impressive!

I'll just express my interest, but won't be "jumping" at it any time soon with this price.

I don't think anyone is trying to make you feel bad, because realistically price is a little steep. Just ask yourself, would you personally buy one of these without hesitation?

I was just joking. :) Actually I do feel bad about the price because it's steep. This product came out like a month ago and I was too lazy opening the group buy because I knew and I've told MKC that this price won't get people interested. Personally I wouldn't take this case because for this price, I'd go with a KMAC, or other Korean custom keyboards.
