GB from soulfree914 was over as far I recall. The orders are closed and no additional order is possible.

Why is it bad to remake what is already a replica? I don't understand. Please understand I am new to this GB and I don't understand how it works. More background information please?

Is there not one person in the entire membership of this forum who can coordinate us getting in on group buys from KBDMania/OTD? Taeyoung usually places a large order in the group buys here, so that the Koreans can get in on our group buys. Can that not work both ways? I'm sick of getting the leftovers.

Sorry, boost, it's your GB to run as you see fit. It just p1sses me the fsck off when we can't get the cool shiz they are offering on those forums.

Can't believe  :o. Why we can't have the GB of our own? As I remember, the nyancat GB took order from KBD also....

why did soulfree914 even post at all if his GB is already closed?
there was literally no point in his post since this GB has ZERO effect on his since we can't even participate in his regardless...
boost you should just reinstate this GB imo

I just wonder if the leftover from GB in KBTmania/OTD would be enough for GH/DT's demand (about 150-200 sets of each type), I worry that just some of us have chance to grab them and then re-sell them at a much much higher cost.

This is exactly what happens.

BTW, Limmy is the one that posted the link to this GB on KBDMania so that anyone there who missed the GB could get in on this one: http://www.kbdmania.net/xe/4877368

Why apologize? This was a different GB on a different forum with different members. Yes, the idea behind it was the same, but boost was making something available to us that wasn't available before. Why settle for limited amounts of a set with fewer keys, when we could easily do our own?

Could you explain how it is stepping on soulfree's toes? The orders in his GB are closed and he is no longer taking any orders.

My common sense tells me it is okay to do another GB. I believe many are confused as well.

Because a group buy is happening in Korea, you cancel this? It's not like anyone here can easily go and place an order there. It's pretty ridiculous that you can't run both. Did KBD come to GH and invite us to the buy? No. So why not run out own? Makes zero sense.

I don't know tbh.  My common sense says it's okay too.  But clearly there was a miscommunication somewhere.

I understand this perspective, but I think boost did the prudent thing in suspending the buy.  Let's wait for soulfree to explain himself a little more before passing judgment.

Add to that: to even get the keys here is much more expensive, and our standard keyboard layout doesn't match theirs?

Way too much flaming is going on here about this groupbuy.


Until I can clear things up with Soulfree and myself, This group will be temporary closed until further notice.
I apologize to both the Members of this groupbuy and Soulfree.
