Title: Second Run--- Interest check for Filco group buy, ship to worldwide
Post by: qtan5370 on Wed, 06 July 2011, 02:56:15
Filco it is kind of hard to deal with.

If I ask them now, they tell one item is in stock, but we place order 1 or 2 week later, it might gone out. They refused to hold it with getting paid because Filco does not have good involuntary management.....  

So I think it would be better work by "biding" way, that is easier way that I can work out. We bid based on the price+shipping I offered. Once you bid the item, I would check if it could be ordered, if yes, I would billed you, once you pay, your item would be hold there for you. By the ending date, let's say 7 days from beginning, closed the order and what we got would be shipped.

Now I would basically stared collecting interest right now and see if we got enough interest to start biding. I would say that 90% item on my list would in stock.

Filco keycaps and wrist rest work the same way.

I got some people ask me about filco these days. Now I contact the Factory, here is a good News

Filco China (pink one ) can be order for all switches except RED. Only 87(tenkeyless) for this color.

Bad News: No any red switches model can be order.

Than, we have to order as least 10 filco keyboard(can be any models add up to 10) to get them in the group buy price or in stock.

Other model have to be check one by one, I would also post up What I got later. Please state like:

Keyboard size:
Keyboard Color
Keyboard switches

I do not care the format, but have to full information, Thanks.

Price now refer to my last price picture but do be ready for about 10% additional, due to the exchange rate and general price change in China (CPI 5%+ last month,omg....).

Ship to worldwide. Shipping cost would depend on model ,some filco like G-king 104 full size wight about 5 lbs....let's say 15-20 dollar to U.S, U.K add 2 dollar, other EU country by DHL about 30 dollar.    

Only check for filco....No others, to hard to get everything group up at once....Shipping time could be whenever we got 10 keyboard and give one week to get them from factory then we are done.

And the caps, I need someone could help me to handle it, I do not have time to collect those group buy like this time. That would start after 7/15....I would post keycaps on my eBay later when I got them restock, I hope you guys can help me bid them on eBay(U.S buyer) so I can get some feedback and they're relatively cheap, so I only need to pay few cents eBay fees.

If you want to add something with keyboard, just add after we got the 10 keyboard, and have to be with keyboard. I would change my eBay shipping later for small staff if you only need a set keycaps go to eBay. And I would get my own website set up, it is done today, just need to upload all my product.

Not to thread crap, but filco uses distributors which have rights to territories.  Afaik, the keyboard company has the distribution rights to north America via amazon.  You're crapping all over the keyboard company here.

Considering the keyboard company only offers a select few "ninja" variety Majestouch 2's, I don't think qtan is stepping on anyone's toes here.

As an individual seller on eBay or on internet, I can resell any item legally, because I am individual and have no contact with anyone. And as an buyer, you can buy product whatever you want on the website, no matter where it is. There is not any "country" or "location" for Internet, seller and buyer here can from any place.

Also, the company have better price on their item, nobody would buy from me if they could get it from Amazon, but Amazon just have very few models. Well, here is the deal, I won't ship model that available on Amazon to U.S.

You go boy, qtan!

Hey, if you can sell Amazon's models cheaper (shipping included) than Amazon, that is just better for all buyers.  Competition is good.  Price competition is better.

Well, I do respect those company, I mean I know how hard they are, price competition is not always good thing, like some one open poker group buy and PLU group buy, although I might able to beat them on lower price, I won't do that unless that charge for so hight.....

I might be interested in an 87-key white with blue switches, but I have two quick questions first.

First, are these the Majestouch 1 or 2 models? Also, is there any way to get blank keycaps? Printed ones are fine, but I would much rather have a blank 'board.

It's bull**** that Diatec is letting a British company be the sole distributor of Filcos in the US and providing very little in the way of models to choose from.

I'd buy from qtan all day long.

kalrykh... stirring up trouble over nothing (again). Its not illegal, its not unethical, its not even remotely immoral to buy and sell in North America regardless of some other company, in some other country, decided to make a contract with some other unrelated people over something they have no control over in the first place? But you, you just HAVE to go rain on everyone's parade. "Noob in training"? Just what are you a noob at? it's certainly not trolling.

At least qtann lives here (part of the time). Geeze, when will you guys stop this ... floop.

[edit: its not only that, its a GROUP BUY. He is buying keyboards based on what we ask for, not stocking them for resale to the public, so even there he isn't acting as a USA distributor. Besides, he has no contract with Diatec to violate! Diatec would be in violation of their contract with Keyboard Co. And just because they got a contract doesn't make it a US law, lol]

I guess if a Japanese company broke a contract they would need to be sued in Japan. Regardless of which territories the contract concerned.

Well, this is off topic....Don't worry about that.

But just let you know, you can alway sue the company in you state(in U.S), if you buy an item from them. Company always have product liability if they sell product to you.
