DSA Retro Set (SHIPPED!)

[douchecanoe]

I'm really late here, but I'm wondering if anyone has any information about extras being sold
I missed the GB, and was waiting for TechKeys to post it and once they did I didn't hear about it until they sold out
So, is anyone else selling off any extras? I just need a 104 set to fit a Filco, nothing special

I know someone's doing an interest check for a new DSA set but I'd rather get these so they match my wristrest

[heedpantsnow]

I also got the DCS spacebar accidentally from Techkeys.  If I can get one, does the DSA spacebar fit a Poker?

[i3oilermaker]

The DSA and DCS space bars should fit the same if they are both 6.25x

If anyone that got a DCS spacebar from techkeys is unhappy, please PM me.

YGPM.  Actually, I'm quite happy - I got in on these caps at a decent price thanks to you and your site.  I just need the other space bar, that's all.

Not if you have a Leopold.

Leo 200 I hope!    (Yo tengo mucho Leos!)

Ok, out the door today:  Retro-035, 138, 077, 032, 196.

The last few orders after that are awaiting some kits I was short, and that are due in from SP in today's mail.  If all goes well, I should be able to turn those around tomorrow.

After that I will gather together all of the missing/wrong keycap notices and start sending those individual keycaps out.  Some I may need to get from SP, because frankly, I have really very few extras left.  This is surprising, because I bought more extras than remain...

So if you accidentally received more than you ordered of something, please at least tell me about it so I know what happened.

Anyhow, as of this moment, everything I can ship today has been shipped.  The inbound items from SP are currently shown by the USPS as "OUT FOR DELIVERY", so that should sort the last of the orders.

Not as smooth of an end to the shipping process as I had planned, but in keeping with the over-communicate theme here, I am letting everyone know the status of everything.

Depending on when the mail comes, I may get the remaining orders at least packed and labeled today.  We will see about that.

I get the feeling that mine will be the last to get shipped.

That's what happens when you live in the land down under.

i think my shipment contained an error.

And next you're going to tell me there aren't any kangaroos?

[Bullveyr]

And next you're going to tell me there aren't any kangaroos?

I ate one a few weeks ago but I think it was imported, although we have Emu/Ostrich farms.

Your certainly not the first to make this mistake, a order from China got once trapped in a 120.000 km Australia-China-France loop. That was the first time the tracking page didn't fit on the screen and I had to scroll down.

[esoomenona]

Mistake? Maybe you should open a frosty Fosters and think about this...

[Bullveyr]

We drink real beer here.

[7bit]

...
p.s.  Someone beat the record of 13 spacebars today, although they did have two alpha sets.

In Round 4 we had 13 people ordering 14 or more space bars. The record are 59 space bars (4-7 units space bars, 7BIT-space bars not counted!).

There where 30 varieties available, BTW.

:-)

Internet says no; you drink cat urine.

Update:  Retro-191 also went out today.

Jesus... 59 spacebars. And that man didn't get a wingnut!?

[Bullveyr]

That was really fast Ron but 3 minutes after I sent the PM I got the shipping notification.

As said before, if you had some extra expenses with my order/shipment just invoice me.

The most important part: I'm not last.

[Lighthouse1]

Good update, looking forward to the replacements arriving and a potential shipping notice!

I don't mind being last or not, the info means it's not a worry its lost or anything.

[samwisekoi]

All missing kits arrived, and now 100% of Retro DSA orders are packed and ready to ship!

The final 10 orders should go out in tomorrow's post.

Woo-hoo!

 - Ron | samwisekoi

p.s.  Any orders I checked for shipment in the past two weeks, absolutely, positively have the correct space bars.  Even Glod's!

Your communication sets a new standard for GBs! It is VERY much appreciated! Thanks again to all you guys.

[Glod]

my time is coming soon!

[esoomenona]

If there was over-communication, this does not count as that. This was just right.

[Matt3o]

Don't know if I should be relieved that this finished or a bit sad.

You should take a bow with Sam because this audience really appreciated everything you have done, during this Group Buy performance.

Thus far, this Group Buy simply RULED above all others  .

Wir sollen heiter Raum um Raum durchschreiten,
An keinem wie an einer Heimat hängen,
Der Weltgeist will nicht fesseln uns und engen,
Er will uns Stuf' um Stufe heben, weiten.
Kaum sind wir heimisch einem Lebenskreise
Und traulich eingewohnt, so droht Erschlaffen,
Nur wer bereit zu Aufbruch ist und Reise,
Mag lähmender Gewöhnung sich entraffen.

tl;dr
Start another one

English traslation:

We'll walk from space to space in glad progression
and should not cling to one as homestead for us.
The cosmic spirit will not bind nor bore us;
it lifts and widens us in ev'ry session:
for hardly set in one of life's expanses
we make it home, and apathy commences.
But only he, who travels and takes chances,
can break the habits' paralyzing stances.
