Have you tried selling on reddit? Much larger audience there. :thumb:
Is granite taken?
dude its a fortune just in teensies :D
Is anyone in florida interested in doing a group buy with me? I am in southwest florida. I just cant justify paying that much for international shipping on one board. PM me if youre in the area.
Please PM me if you're in the US and would like to share shipping for one of beserkfan's keyboards.
I'd like to purchase a board from beserkfan but would love to get a better price on shipping. I have a number of large flat rate boxes and would be happy to coordinate a mini group buy. We will all share shipping, and then I'll ship to you for $20 via USPS flat rate. Please PM me if you're interested!

Have you gotten rid of your stock Model F XT Portable? If not, I'd love to take it off your hands!
just noticed this
I have a tight schedule these two weeks which is why I am not shipping for anyone until May 2.
That also goes for local pickup.
Won't be at home, simple as that.
And no, I don't encourage people to call dibs. I can't monitor all threads. Most dib callers never come through anyway. I just made a comment that said call dibs if you like but only those who pay get stuff.
If you were one of those people who sent me a laundry list saying hey, I might like this and maybe I might like that and possibly I can take this but only if I can confirm that, I probably deleted your PM. I have no shortage of PMs from people who want everything free or very cheap, and most such people don't really seem to know what they are asking for. Some can't even tell a Razer from a Model M; they were just doing a knee jerk reaction to the word free.
Phenix put on my ignore list.
I second this. Don't go in thinking he is going to explain everything about the board to you. If you're going in for free stuff you should already know about what you're attempting to get. He's already swamped with PM's he doesn't need to be your Google.Phenix put on my ignore list.
Haha R.I.P.
I just wanna let people know that berserk doesn't play games but he is a great seller. More info about the for-sale items (including shipping weight) is located in his docx file in the OP. Limit your questions to things that can't be answered by google and you will make a quick and painless sale like myself and plenty others. If you ask a question about a stock keyboard or something that's answered in the docx, you're going to have a bad time.
GLWS and looking forward to the shipment!
Do you have any ISO Nordic stuff? I'd gladly take it all if so
Not taking paypal anymore. Sorry, but the troublesome 99% have made it so difficult for the 1% small genuine buyers who just want to buy 1 set of keycaps from me, don’t demand lots of freebies, and are comfortable with sea mail. For years I have accepted paypal as a convenient means of transferring small sums of money, but now it is just plain too risky.
I have gotten at least 100 PMs for free things over the weekend, and it is extremely high risk for a seller. I have no margin of error. Everything people pay me is going to shipping, and paypal has warned me not to withdraw my money until everything reaches you guys. You guys are not even paying for the boxes and the bubble wrap.
Most kids don't understand what a buckling spring keyboard is. Or they ask, is SKCC Alps a brand name? Or is Model F compatible with Windows OS? I have no time to talk to them and figure out if they are genuine. I have no time to educate buyers. I also noticed from their questions about shipping that no one has bothered to read my shipping post, so most people are going to be unhappy with how long sea mail takes. One mistake, and I wind up sending people stuff they don't want leading to paypal complaint.
In the past I used to remember PM inquiries as ‘the California guy’. ‘That Greek’. But now due to sheer volume of PMs my mnemonic system has broken down. I have never had more than 1 Indonesian counterparty at any time in my life, but now am talking to several Indonesians at the same time and having difficulty remembering who is who. If this goes on, I’ll be double selling, misquoting shipping, mispack your stuff, etc. I must cut down on the volume of potential buyers because I cannot remember everyone.
I am already losing a lot of money just giving away things that I no longer want to keep. I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE PAYPAL ON FREEBIES BECAUSE IF YOU ARE LESS THAN 100% SATISFIED, I CANNOT DO PARTIAL REFUND. EVERYTHING YOU PAY IS ALREADY GOING TO SHIPPING.
No more paypal. End of story. I want peace of mind. If you're not an adult who knows what you want and is willing to wait 2 months to get a vintage keyboard that may need modding, I'm not comfortable with taking your paypal money, paying in cash for shipping, only to get slapped with a complaint and my funds frozen again when your free keyboard doesn't show up by 2nd day shipping.
ps even if you are willing to pay by moneygram or bank transfer as I prefer, doesn't mean you can just come in and ask to buy $15 of keycaps and get 9 keyboards for free. Yes, there are people who send me requests like that. I'm going to start blocking PMs.
you, easy to remember.
you bought my only working SSK. :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :))
Very tired, so bumping up thread along with note. Will edit thread later because I can’t think clearly anymore.

I don't think my Duckies will live very long when under attack by a rootwyrm... someone who can kill a Model M in just 5 years should finish off these Duckies in under 2. Oh well, money is money, can't refuse. White Duck and Green Duck are two dead ducks.

Pfft, just make sure you're selling parts that'll let me rebuild the jailhouse greens in two years. Then you can't refuse more money! :D (Seriously though, Ducky boards have held up pretty well. And how could nobody else want that amazingly beautiful Ice shine first? Does nobody have a kid that likes Elsa?!)
Ps just because I say I get to keep one box and can sell small stuffs next month, doesn’t mean I am going to entertain the kind of orders I used to process in the past when someone can just ask for 1 jailhoused switch and I would send it to him FOC. Not going to rummage through my one huge box to pull out one switch.

Hi all, those of you guys who are waiting on shipment, or received an item, would you guys like to come out and list out what was bought?
I have been talking to one other, user: ikeadragon.
She is also local in singapore so I figure that it'd be worthwhile to see if it was a simple mistake in wrong shipping.
What we've found out is that we've been double sold an item, the KBT Race 75%, SIP modded, 2.2v colorful LEDs, $50.
I also find it odd how OP has locked the thread and deleted the imgur links. (If you guys copied and pasted the items from his catalogue in pms, I encourage you to go check it out.)
I have also sent out a PM on saturday to him, as well as another one today. It is certain and known that he has at least been online the as of 9th of May.
Here's the thing - the both of us has definitely gotten items. It could still be the wrong thing. I want to know what everyone else bought so that if indeed everything is shipped out, we can see where it should be going to, and where it ended up. It will also help to see proof (via pm's, or posts, or pictures of items/mailing labels.) We can consolidate what has been sold, what has been double sold, and who (hopefully nobody) might have just been taken for a ride.
I am more than happy to possibly understand that this is all a mistake, for stress, work, and other circumstances. However it should still be OP who takes and makes every effort to ensure things are being conducted fairly and properly. While I myself may have been thrown under a bus by paying with moneygram, I want to reach out to everyone else to hope that you guys can resolve your issues. At this point for me, money isn't my primary concern. It is a lot, almost 400 after moneygram fees, but the integrity of an individual who was upheld by the community. Those of us who bought from him played by his rules with shipping and payment methods, worked with him and empathized with the situation he had at home, and did so because of his activity and reputation on the boards.

Since both you and ikeadragon are in local neighborhood from him, why don't you visit him? I mean, all of you are in singapore, right?
With a sale of this size and hectic nature, I'd be surprised if there weren't any mistakes but hopefully not too much. My package is still en route to Antwerp. Let's not lose our heads here and go looking for trouble where there is none.
Yes, sorry. I have never used moneygram before. I didn't know there was a reference # at first. Here is the reference # you need: XXXXXXXX. For shipping, please ship in the poker X box unless you wanna throw some random freebies in there. Here is my name and address:
OMITTED
Please note that my state is MS for MISSISSIPPI. (Sometimes confused withCalifornia)
Thanks again!Money sent for the Poker X. Have a good day. Looking forward to the new board.
ty. I think I'm supposed to get a code for the Moneygram transfer so that I can collect it? Also you got to give me your name and address!
Yes, if you didn't stress MS, I would have thought Long Beach refers to CA too!

I cannot help, but think that I did well when I decided to not get into this buy, sorry fellas.
Chill, guys. With this stuff coming on "a slow boat from (somewhere near) China" it will be weeks before anything is finally settled.

You are absolutely correct. No need to overreact yet in those cases. I do think that communicating amongst people that *have* already received incorrect items and haven't heard from berserk in a week is fair game though. He should be available to tend to any issues that occur during his sale.
"Never gamble what you can't afford to lose."
"Never gamble what you can't afford to lose."
Well said.
I know from experience that selling a large number of relatively valuable items is a tedious and time-consuming process.while this input is appreciated, there's no need to doubt the op. you have nothing to gain from this discussion outside of a sense of false smugness, and it's really entirely unnecessary to try and cast doubt on a community member to everybody who's participated in this sale and who is already concerned with having potentially lost money, despite whatever "experience" you may have. if nothing else, this type of commentary is contributing to the toxicity that has surrounded the keyboard community as of late.
Being forced to make a large dump in a brief period of time is a recipe for a panic attack and a disaster.
Not to mention that shipping dozens of odd parcels internationally is a daunting endeavor in itself.

it's great that we're cynical enough to stay aware of when we may be getting burned, but when there's no such evidence so far, it's doing nothing but harm.
The Filco TKL is taken. What’s left is the Filco fullsize, together with all the extra ISO and 1u winkeys and blanks and extra keycaps for ISO and JIS use. That is seen on my JIS filco here. https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=78531.0;attach=133252;image

I collected everything together and will sell together for $50.
With shipping $8.
+ Fees, totalling $64.59.
Never thought that the sale will become something like this. It's my first time buying from someone @ geekhack too.
Here's my list.
1 cherry wob grab bag (30)
Dsa grab bag (20)
30 x clear stem (9)
Filco stock keycaps 1 set (5)
Taihao (red, yellow) (16)
(And other freebies. I don't know what will he sent me, i said to make it as a surprise lol)
+ 19,2 shipping, totalling 99,2 usd, i transferred the money using WU, converting it to 138sgd.
I'll be updating my received package as well, but he hasn't sent me a tracking code either.
I'm in indonesia, but if anyone want to knock his door i'll be available for a airplane flight.
Well this is interesting considering I ordered these:
DSA Grab Bag - $20
Vortex White on White Doubleshot PBT for Backlit - $22
J05. KBT Race 75% - $50
Cyan on White Thick PBT - $20
I'm in the US so I haven't received anything yet but from the posts I see there are plenty of other people who ordered what I ordered. Interesting to see how this pans out.

The post office tried to deliver today, but there was no one here to sign for it. They will redeliver tomorrow, and someone should be here, so I will post the results. But just the fact that it is here is enough to say that he is not just no shipping. Things just take time.

Can we ask folks who have received a package or attempted delivery post their location please? It'll help the rest of us know roughly when we should expect things to arrive.

Work in progress, but what I have here is a Spreadsheet of everything that has been bought. THIS WILL END UP BEING EDITED.

"the sale" is an inadequate descriptor for this event
It is probably the largest and most convoluted set of transactions in the history of the forum.
Kudos to you for purging everything at such generous prices.
I would have loved to get some of your boards, but shipping overseas was too much to handle.

Things were double sold, no one has gotten the right shipments, and communication has stopped. I'm skeptical :-[

It actually doesn't, and might be misleading. My package was very light, and was just caps, and is quite early. They can fit smaller, lighter packages on ships easier than they can larger items. So, personally, I think it's counterproductive and can lead to more stress. Use this link to singpost (http://www.singpost.com/send-documentparcel/transit-time.html) to tell approximate times of shipment rather than others fortunate shipping times.

Provide me as much info as you can if you are connected to what has happened here! We already have cases of some double/triple sold.
I have also come across some questionable payment details (things not matching up). But I'm treading lightly on this matter. Stay tuned.
Will check back again later tonight.
I ordered a full set of blank zinc caps. I recieved 37 blank zinc caps. If you recieved the full set in the wrong package please notify me. :(
He explicitly told me sea mail, and quoted me rates for that. The only reason I found out it was singpost was from the provided tracking number. Did he say something different to you? And it would be misleading no matter the method- in fact your argument makes it more misleading, not less. My package was supposedly sent 2 weeks ago to the US. There is no way that by any measure it should be here. But it is. And that lapse in time is no where near typical, so using that rather than singpost times would be folly.
Oh, no. Please, nobody think that he was lying or being misleading about the shipping method or costs. I can confirm for you that the 'SeaMail' part and the costs associated were completely truthful. Here's the thing though. SeaMail is a branded service that may use SingPost - it's like when your Amazon package gets delivered by your USPS mailman even though it went UPS and has a UPS tracking number.
And here's a direct link to SingPost where you can look up your overseas shipping costs. Just plug in the appropriate country and weight. (http://beta.singpost.com/send-receive/send-overseas)
For a 5kg package to the US without tracking going economy without customs processing fees, insurance, delivery to your door, or residential delivery it is $80 for a delivery window of not LESS than 42 days. For SpeedPost Standard it is $116 base rate to get it into the US in 10-14 days. 2.5kg packages are the exact same because it's a 1-5kg standardized unit. Just like FedEx Ground and UPS Ground, SeaMail is the branding for "surface mail service." It does not guarantee that your package is going proverbial slow boat from China! It's like when I order a package from Amazon with "no rush" shipping - I usually see it in 2 days anyway because I'm close to a major distribution center.
I definitely would not view it as misleading or a negative. He managed to over-deliver on the shipping (faster, full tracking, insurance, etc.) despite a significantly higher cost normally.
Nope, I paid for a set of 87 keys. Not 37. Enough to cover a tkl board in ansi. They were from a gb years ago and included mods and a spacebar.I ordered a full set of blank zinc caps. I recieved 37 blank zinc caps. If you recieved the full set in the wrong package please notify me. :(
Perhaps I could shed some light here. Many people refer to the MKC Zinc 37-key set (http://www.geekkeys.com/mkc-silver-blank-metal-zinc-37-keyset/) as a "full set". Even Massdrop marketed it that way until several users including myself complained that it was misleading.
I don't think they make modifier keys in zinc, hence I doubt a *full* 87 or 108-key zinc set exists (unless OP explicitly stated otherwise). Hope this helps.

It seems like a lot of work; but, what do you think you can do with the information, besides verifying double sold items? The OP asked people to pay using wire transfer and western union that are basically with no claim resources.

I've unlocked this post. If you have people receiving the wrong item (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=81871.msg2162957#msg2162957) or nothing at all yet, despite attempts to contact you, you are not "done".
The mod team can't do much here to help, but at the very least we can ensure that people have a place to post publicly regarding the sale.
Just for reference on the double-selling comments, berserk has been known to purchase multiples of GB items and many other things (hence his massive collection and the scale of this sale), so it is entirely possible that he has legitimately sold multiple of the same item to each of you. Just FYI - I'm not making conclusions about anything here, just commenting.

He sold me a Granite Num Pad a couple of months ago, but I know he had a few sets at least. He has mad pockets and seemingly a large space for keyboards, so it's no wonder his missus is making him downsize, hence this "group buy."

Just FYI - I'm not making conclusions about anything here, just commenting.

I doubt he had 2 Poker X's modded with jailhouse whites and SIP sockets though :/
Are we still making a list of what's been ordered and what wasn't? My stuff is still sitting in US Customs (judging from the lack of USPS shipping info), but I ordered a WoB grab bag and 70 (maybe 75? I don't remember and I'm too lazy to check) MX Greens. No freebies or anything else. I doubt he ran out of either of those, but just in case people wanted to know.
WEY HK-2000 black on white doubleshots by GMK $65 0.15 kg
F09. Model M-122 bolt modded, teensy modded, ANSI mod, backplate painted, red paint. $20 2.5 kg
P05. Cooler Master QFR TKL cover .1 kg
said family members aren't all keyboards enthusiasts and don't know exactly which item is which,
WEY HK-2000 black on white doubleshots by GMK $65 0.15 kg
F09. Model M-122 bolt modded, teensy modded, ANSI mod, backplate painted, red paint. $20 2.5 kg
P05. Cooler Master QFR TKL cover .1 kg
Received an incorrect package. The QFR cover was there, but both the WEY caps and the M-122 were not; I received an arbitrary, super-yellowed set of MX caps with a big-ass enter, something completely worthless to me.
Luckily, I paid through PayPal G&S, but this definitely does not look good. I think I'll be filing a dispute if berserkfan doesn't show up within the next few days.
The hope is high.

This is not my order. *sigh* But they were nice enough to include the GH name of the person that it was supposed to go to. At least... I think so. GH Gji? But now I guess I open a PP dispute. I would wait to hear from him to be nice, but looking at it realistically, there's no real way to make this right in short order, so I need to get the dispute process started. But I feel bad doing so. :(
Can I put a stop payment on a Money Order I purchased?
No, you cannot request a stop payment on a MoneyGram Money Order. However, you can request a refund by completing a claim card. If your Money Order is cashed before the refund is processed you will receive a photocopy provided you include the $15.00 processing fee.
At this point, I will wait for my package to arrive before accusing berserkfan anyharm

I don't think anyone is accusing him of anything. We're just reporting the facts as they happen.

I've received another response in short order. My last sentence in my prior response was "How are we going to correct the situation?" A simple, direct, and very respectful question.
His response included no answer to that, just excuses and guilt trip attempts. I'm becoming more incensed.

Something else... sketchy... to report.I think you might be reading too much into it. They were poor quality timestamp pictures so he could prove that he owned the stuff. No reason to keep them.
Images have been removed from imgur. I don't see a reason why that would have happened.
http://imgur.com/a/XnnIS
That one at least doesn't come up 404, though there is no image there, so they might just not have indexed it. Others come up 404.
For example, the images of granite:
http://imgur.com/QasZ7WE http://imgur.com/v8Hbw0F
Was anyone thorough enough to save images? I didn't think of it since it's imgur.
Yup it's kinda the amalgamation of factors of the deletion of imgur links, double/triple selling, insisting on nonPayPal, non-communication, partly correct orders?....I got the 2 freebies I requested, but nothing of what I've paid for (which is honestly odd af; so he bothered to put some correct stuff in but not the ones in the same order 'form' lol). Maybe someone can check with Gji if that's the order he had..?
Anyway, the imgur links were deleted after the first post was 'done'. I didn't think to save images, but then again, even if someone/we did, w h a t d o ?
@yzkoo, we were (at least) double sold the Cyan on White Dyesubs. Thanks again Sky for keeping track of the orders!
model f xt teensied and the ibm board with JP legends. thanks for doing all this.I ordered F02 and F18, 1 of each.
What specifically were those? The original catalogue has been deleted so can't really go and look it up.
there's someone who PM'd me about he's getting a box that marked "HOLD FOR DYMLOSLOUIRE". great, i wanna know what is inside the package lol. i'm waiting for him to post the package here.
I also paid for that black on yellow ducky set :(
I also will want to confirm as many claims as I can with either sale pm's or payment proof (black out your details.)
This serves two purposes.
1. Prevents people from making claims when there weren't any to begin with (low chance, but taking the precaution)
2. Solidifies your claims if, we as a community, will resend stuff to each other if shipping is a fustercluck.
Jcrouse's goodbye sale cleared about 30k USD. It was so big he had to open a second thread to handle things. I don't think there were any issues. Just floating that out there that there's been bigger sales with less issues.
Never thought that the sale will become something like this. It's my first time buying from someone @ geekhack too.
"the sale" is an inadequate descriptor for this event
It is probably the largest and most convoluted set of transactions in the history of the forum.
Gonna vouch for berserk here where I've been a regular customer of his, often buying things from him sent to me either through post or through local meetups. Nice guy and I believe what happened is: berserk had everyone's address and their names etc on a excel spreadsheet, but something somewhere went wrong and perhaps maybe some rows and columns went wonky. If things persist and he's not back on GH I'll try to contact him and relay information to the people who have bought things from him. Cheers.
Give berserkfan a few more days- moving houses can be very hectic. If anyone wants to make a fuss about it, just make sure you're aware of that the already sour mood we have in the thread will get worse.
My promise above still stands.

@ideus: appreciated.
So apparently my package from Gutz got to my house today. I gotta say, I'm not about to point any fingers and start calling people things, but I am certainly disappointed. Instead of the WoB Cherry grab bag ($30) and 70 MX Greens ($35) I ordered: (imgur album with proof (http://imgur.com/a/xH0TR). $18 shipping, and $4 in PayPal fees for G&S), I got a very small box and a 104-key set (108? I think it has 4 blanks) of thin Tai Hao white on green caps. Even the slip of paper in the box (that had my username and what I ordered) was right... (Link to timestamp (http://imgur.com/a/5zfde))
I paid $87 for a single set of maybe $30 keycaps (that I can't even use because of the layouts I use). Judging from the thread he made in OT, he doesn't seem like he wants to make any of it right, although I'm sure he'll reconsider. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt for now and wait for an official response after his life calms down a bit.
Edit 2: Also opened a Paypal dispute for Item Significantly Not as Described so there's a paper trail. I would recommend folks who paid through Paypal do so upon receiving an incorrect package, and simply be polite about it. If you got somebody else's package, "whoops, I got somebody else's package. Can you please help locate mine?" Make sure you note whose package you got if there's a name inside. If you end up needing to do a chargeback with any transaction, not opening the dispute immediately can complicate things or even make it impossible. Just be polite about it and give him a chance to respond before escalating to Paypal.

Agreed, wholeheartedly. That's the same conclusion that I came to after a bit, and that was the only way I was able to get him to respond. PM's didn't work. However, the response I got on mine when I asked that very question was that he didn't know who had it. Which does make sense, but it's disheartening.

So you have had contact with Berserk since this went bad? It seems like he isn't completely rogue then?

Presuming everyone is telling him what they got that's incorrect, that should not be true for very long, which is actually a net plus in terms of a dispute. It shows both seller and buyer acting in good faith to resolve the issues. However, this also doesn't factor in any unethical folks who just decide they're going to keep someone else's stuff. I'm getting worried there's going to be a lot of that. :(

Package arrived just now. Immediately knew it was wrong - it barely was big enough to hold one keyboard. Definitely NOT two full size keyboards. Claimed on customs that it was keyboard parts for hobbyist, value $50, weight 1kg. (It should have been nearly 5kg too.)Well that sinks my stomach those cast metal caps are the ones I ordered (scarface)
Open it up, and I have cast metal keycaps immediately jumping out. A set of rubber feet. A bunch of loose LEDs (came out of the SIP sockets in transit.) Aaaaaaand a KBT Pure with SIP mod, blue aluminum frame, and MX Whites. All the LEDs are here though, I counted.
According to the label inside, this is "DT Scarpia"s order. Well, it's at least PART of Scarpia's order according to the spreadsheet. So Scarpia, I have your KBT Pure. FWIW it was well packed, no damage aside from the loose LEDs. (Quick edit, none of the LEDs are damaged at all.) Can someone please page Scarpia to the thread?
Edit: PM'd Scarpia after realizing, yeah, it should have been "GH Scarpia" probably. Will be taking photos momentarily. Seriously though, very well packaged, so I can't imagine any shipping damage.

Those even have the nibs and I know that he only had one set.. If there is you would want I wouldn't mind paying you in addition.
Just want this buy over it feels like Ivan all over again :(
Following this with some interest but wondering what would you all think he should react? Refund everyone? Ask for all of you to ship back to each other? Or is it easier to wait till the heat is off?

it would have been preferable to get the right items shipped out in the first place, but since it's too late for that, probably dispute incorrect items, and if possible, ship our items back to the rightful owner if shipping costs are justifiable. for those who paid by moneygram, they can try claiming their money back but I have small hope that we will actually receive our money back, in which case we can only hope people are nice enough to return the items we all ordered to each other.
it's honestly not worth paying shipping twice if my items arrive on somebody elses doorstep. they're very cheap boards which I only ordered out of interest and they cost quite a bit to ship so if I'm unfortunate enough, somebody else can enjoy a model f xt and ibm green alps board at my cost.

Dude wtf :eek:
I have (been) compiling(ed) a semi-thorough list of pm's of you confirming orders, payment details and comparing it to what was received by users. I have done it from a very bottoms up approach, with limited resources of knowing who even bought stuff from you.
You who stood at the top, the control center, the financial hub of your sales and logistics operation, should have been able to manage everything better. What you have essentially done is walk into the room, and announce "hey guys, I'm an important guy who works way too hard so you guys should all feel sorry for me, and not be angry that I screwed you all over."
There is a very big difference between a mistake, and negligence. This is the latter. Get off your high horse and admit that you've basically done whatever the hell you wanted with stuff because you had no respect for anybody else's transactions. You set a mutual agreement between buyer (you) and seller (us) and simply not carry through. It is a lack of responsibility in carrying out the sale, and a lack of accountability in following through.
The problem here isn't the sale. The problem here is your attitude and approach to taking responsibility.

What a joke. I get that not everything is super easy and this whole thing was a cluster****, but geez, own up and at least try to make things right. Here's to hoping I can at least get some of my money back.
I think, at least from what he told me, is that he had to upgrade some people for Paypal, and other reasons. I don't think that by default the way that he shipped them had tracking. So only those people he upgraded will get tracking.Did anyone else NOT get any kind of tracking number? I paid on April 20 and no tracking or confirmation of shipment.me. :-X

When I was discussing buying from him he did give me an option for tracked and untracked shipping. I went for the untracked option as it was cheaper. Did he not discuss shipping options with some of you?

After reading OP's post in OT, I think it might be best to keep Sky's spreadsheet as up to date as possible and prepare to work it out between ourselves. If GB decides to rectify the issue that'd be great, but it's probably best to start prepping for the worst. There's nothing we can do about double sales, but if I am the one who ends up with the DSA grab bag for ex I'll just grab some keys I was looking for before shipping it off the next person. Not ideal, but at least we're all getting something out of it.
I went with the super cheap route so I don't have tracking, but will post what I get when I get it and provide proof of my order along with it then to keep things as clean as possible.

Because you just don't do that. You don't show up at someone's residence uninvited, no matter what else is going on. Especially if something negative is going on. People have died because the decision to do just that was raised.

Advocating showing up at the guy's house to use "fear to get him back straight" and to "see if he's still a man" only gives him more excuses not to right the wrongs. Please take that elsewhere so that the folks in this thread trying to come to a constructive conclusion can get on with it.

I'm available to people who have ordered these keycaps.
Please if you have received my package (Or package for Karandach) please contact me! I would pay shipping.
Self-help is very important, we need to ship packages to the right people.

Hi, did you receive a set of filco SA keycaps with some extra ISO keys? If that is so, I believe it is my order
Here is my proof

I hope everyone will be honest.
So my package arrived today, and was at least correct for the "big" item.
Ordered vortex white backlit doubleshots, 100 each of cyan, aquamarine and purple LEDs, 200 SIP sockets and a set of cherry stabs.

Correct caps, but 100x Green LEDs and nothing else.
Now, I know my order was nothing really so I'm not posting to complain. Just doing so for documentation's sake.
I hope everyone will be honest.
Unfortunately, I think at this point, it is safe to say that is very much not the case. I think it's fair to say that the keyboards shipped, since I certainly have Scarpia's right here. And this is NOT a cheap or unwanted 60% board. So we can reasonably assume all of the actual keyboards went out. And we can assume a significant number of people, if not a majority, have in fact received their packages at this point.
Yet somehow not a single person has said "hey, X, I have your keyboard" aside from myself and yzkoo who reported getting a complete MX8100. Everyone else has only reported cheap keycaps. It would seem to me that a not insignificant part of the 'community' is more than happy to steal things other people paid for.
And we can assume a significant number of people, if not a majority, have in fact received their packages at this point.
I wouldn't assume that just yet. The heavier orders that shipped and were paid for in a way that was not paypal, I'm sure he didn't upgrade. So those wouldn't even start to hit for a couple more weeks. Let's wait until at least a month out to start that kind of thinking- if at all.
This kind of thing affects the solidarity of a community in a very deep way- for good or ill, so I urge caution in using accusatory speak. In the end, even if someone doesn't speak up, let's keep the blame firmly where it belongs.

Certainly I would agree there with the larger packages, to a limited extent. We won't know till we know. But it seems rather incomprehensible to me that when we have 2.5kg flat rate packages shipped on May 3rd already arrived in Ohio, SoCal, and so on, we've only seen two keyboards. I wouldn't expect any of the M's or F's to be arrived yet (hell, they take forever even when shipped CONUS), but certainly a lot of the lighter boards (e.g. TKLs, 60%s), kits, and parts should have arrived by now.
Instead, so far the most expensive item reported is what I think is the KBT Pure but may be the PokerX (seriously people, someone check me on which it is) and the zinc keycaps. It could simply be people aren't aware of this thread and are only reporting via Paypal. But so far we have 129 items on the spreadsheet as ordered (definitely low), and only 17 items reported received plus 2 not in the spreadsheet.
I agree completely - it's very damaging to the community as a whole. But it's very hard not to believe that folks are taking advantage, given that data. Doubly so when they have a reasonable belief that they will not get any sort of refund. As has been said: people are not a box of chocolates. They are mostly bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling. (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/42/1e/80/421e80dd2af1ed97887c87ef7ab7cd6b.jpg)

I think you should keep your accusation to berserkfan, and not to US victims. I have about 10kg worth of keyboard on the way to me. Waiting to be delivered.
Hi
You said you got Scarpia's stuff, but that can't be because Scarpia had two huge boxes going to him via sea mail and he paid for only one big box.
What did you get?
if it is light enough to ship/ just a partial order, I suggest you can ship it to my US proxy shipper after which I'll give you a full refund. If you file complaint you'll have to ship back to Singapore as per paypal rules which costs more, whereas I don't feel like funding the shipping to Sweden because Scarpia already seems to be getting too much.
If there are two Full size set, then I believe one of them is Kibort's and one is mine. And according to the PM, the bag that says Bluetooth should be his and ISO should be mine, can you check one more time? I'll send you a PM with ZIP for shipping quoteNo problems I send you photos of the keys tomorrow !

However no shipping before the end of the Paypal dispute.
Berserkfan didn't yet replied. If no answer I transmits to Paypal as complaint next week.
I'd advise you not to wait. Unless he pays you in some other fashion, there's no way for him to refund your money now that disputes have been filed and escalated. The earlier you file, the better chance you have of getting in before they realize how big this really is. But I'm not so sure that ship hasn't sailed already; that image in the other thread is very likely his balance after the first few went against him if it's an accurate picture at all.If there are two Full size set, then I believe one of them is Kibort's and one is mine.

Right, I hope you can find your order, or complete your dispute safely. Thank you very much.
I've trusted beserkfan, so I tried to trust the community one more time. That's why I did not file a dispute with PayPal

I assumed you paid the cheap shipping with no tracking? Considering I'm in SoCal as well, hopefully I'll get my mystery box within the next couple of days.
curiosity when I saw the thread title "DONE!", which gave absolutely no indication of it's contents.
