I am wondering, why GMK is not able to give shops in Germany better deals to support their local market.

There's other factors at play here, I don't think GMK charges any more or less for any of the vendors, but you have to factor in the cost of labor.
The vendors that run the GB's do a lot behind the scenes, and that requires labor. Someone who's in Germany will therefor charge a bit more than someone in say Singapore, where the labor prices are lower.
because VAT
hard to offer good prices if you have to factor in 19 to 25% of the item value in the final price

All of those are fair points, but from business perspective, it should not happen, that item produced literately next door, is more expensive locally, than the same exported item.
Every seller has to deal with additional costs, but GMK margins are high enough, from my point of view, so they can make sure, that regular price is equal or lower on local market, in comparison to foreign market.
What is the point of publishing pricing, which at the end might be 25% more...
I bricked a board today and jumped on GH for the first time in months to get help...
If there is a higher power out there, they work in weird ways. I would have missed this if not for my bunk firmware. So happy to see this running!

VAT is legally necessary within Europe for Oblotzky. There is literally nothing they can do about it. If you take off the VAT, and use the current exchange rate, it is actually 80 cents cheaper for the base kit.

I think the point you are missing is that in Europe, Australia and several other countries sales tax is reflected in the item price. In the USA however consumers like to get cucked by taxes at checkout instead.
So even though things may appear cheaper from a pricing table perspective, folks in the USA and folks in Europe may end up closer than you think

How did this do? NovelKeys says "order placed" so I guess everything hit MOQ?

Novelkeys has transitioned to pre-orders, instead of group buys as they ensure each set they run is made. The set hit MOQ and everything will be made :thumb:

I cannot believe I missed this after following this keycap set for literally years.
Any chance there will be a second GB?
