Hey! Being new here myself I'm not quite sure if I'm entitled to say that, but welcome to GH!

Did you pick up that BW when Razer offered 50% discount on everything in their shop? :D

Welcome to Geekhack!

A nice collection you have :)  A group buy or two is the next logical step, although I feel sorry for your wallet if you are already planning more purchases :p

Yea, my wallet is already feeling the pain, been getting in on some artisan key sales so far, and have a small collection going already, my GF keeps scolding me for buying more, but I know that they hold their value pretty well so in a pinch I could clear out the collection.

Welcome to geekhack. :)

What's with the title? I'm curious because it means 'Hello' in our local dialect.

The worst bit is where the sales overlap, and the second sale starts before you have received the goodies from the first sale.  Then you start to doubt the second sale, but enter anyway, and the fruits from the first sale arrive and there is deep joy.  Of course being in the USA you won't experience that as much as us down here - it can take 3 weeks or more for things to arrive :eek:
