I'm not entirely sure dustin gets it yet.

Gets what? It was a joke or that you charge whatever people will pay? Maybe you guys are making fun of the auction thats up?
Enough of that nonsense and back to Brobot therapy.

That is a stupid argument. If you need money, and you sell it for what you paid, guess what, your good has been transferred to money!

When you overcharge something because you need more money, that's being greedy.

I would say it's perfectly acceptable to increase the price to cover shipping costs so you break even completely.

Heh this BroBot discussion sounds exactly like recent CC discussions :p
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Alright.. I assume these 200 and 250 $ threads are jokes right? I paid 1/4 that for mine in classifieds. You people better not be trying to make a huge profit on bots.

you're a cool dude and all but.. how is that any different than your purchases? sure, when YOU sell you're just getting back what you paid.. but the person you bought from is most likely getting profit from it. why not shame them also?

Yea, I'm just giving my input as to what I feel is fair.  It might increase a $25 cap by $10-$20 extra depending on shipping methods.  Maybe more. Now if anyone buys a cap for $100+ before shipping, well that's their own fault in my eyes. Expecting to break even on those types of mistakes is also greedy. "That's what I paid" is not an acceptable excuse in my opinion.

I dont like paying those prices for clacks, its just what they go for (It was like that since Ive joined). Then when I sell / trade I have to make my money back to be fair. Sometimes I take a loss just to be nice.

So now it all comes down to what people start charging for V2 bro bots. :/

But Dustin's point is also valid. It pains me too see people got the Brobot and then flipped it within weeks to make a profit, riding on the momentum when people who really want it and appreciate it didn't get in on time for the sale. It's like a spit into the face.

nobody likes paying those prices. but you paying those prices isn't helping the market go down. but you're willing to pay for them because you want it, right? no different than somebody wanting to pay 2-300 for a BB.

and let's be honest, it's going to happen anyway. brocaps isn't a machine, and he can only produce so much to meet demand. somebody will make huge profits from this, sadly.

Well at least he said he was working on trying to get more keycaps out to us, but you know he got a nasty cold.

One thing that I've been confused about is the $25 keycaps. What is GID?
15. Biohazard Lemonade (Transparent Yellow GID. Very Limited)
6. Essence of Kirkle (Transparent Blue GID)
2. Sifo's Soul (Transparent Pink GID)

" Quick Update:


Roughly 50 people got in. I will be spending the next couple days producing a bit more to fulfill the demand.
I honestly did not expect this much demand :3


I appreciate your patience and am humbled by your appreciation of my work.


I will do my best to get your notifications and invoices out with haste. For those who did not make it in that have a Gold V2 order, I will be shipping those out on Monday.

I'm still so angry that I missed the Bro Bot sale on Sunday, that this is the first time I can even talk about it.

Anyway, I had to help my wife with her mother on Sunday, and I didn't get back home until 1:25 PM EST! (which is 10:25 AM PST)  And ofc, all sold out in 25 friggin' minutes.  I was hoping you guys would leave me one, but no way.  Oh well.

Anyway, I had to help my wife with her mother on Sunday, and I didn't get back home until 1:25 PM EST! (which is 10:25 AM PST)  And ofc, all sold out in 25 friggin' minutes.  I was hoping you guys would leave me one, but no way.  Oh well.

They all sold out in 2 seconds.. ;X

I checked the thread right at 10am PST and still didn't get in....I even snuck away from a brunch to "use the restroom." Lol....

Hey...I was driving down the road...and I 'think' I got in.

I'm still so angry that I missed the Bro Bot sale on Sunday, that this is the first time I can even talk about it.

Well at least he said he was working on trying to get more keycaps out to us, but you know he got a nasty cold.

One thing that I've been confused about is the $25 keycaps. What is GID?
15. Biohazard Lemonade (Transparent Yellow GID. Very Limited)
6. Essence of Kirkle (Transparent Blue GID)
2. Sifo's Soul (Transparent Pink GID)


go in deep

How deep?

Deep as the abyss. So when you get a minute, take a look at my wrist.

As deep as the rabbit hole.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
