hey there guys

we are holding an auction to say goodbye to the brobot v2

here is your chance to own a piece of history

this is what bro caps has to say

"These prototypes are CNC milled Aluminum 6061-T651. They are based on the final V2 BroBot design, the design that truly began my work as an Artisan.

I hope to find these a good home, with someone who will appreciate the time and effort put into creating a memorable and thoughtful icon. I felt these would be a great send-off for an end to a product I am proud to have enjoyed by so many fans.

Each part will include:

A certificate of authenticity
A golden dibs ticket (good for the maximum amount of any future sale)
A surprise keycap in the same switch type as the accompanying purchased keycap
Thank you for being a part of all of this, and making Bro Caps what it is today.

-Bro"

there were the original prototypes, and were among the first ever v2s crafted, and the first of the final design

these are being auctioned to fund future projects

THESE WILL BE THE LAST EVER V2S SOLD BY BRO CAPS

in order to bid, please place one cap in your basket, and leave your bid in the donation amount

https://ctrlalt.io/bro-caps/the-farewell-v2-auction

i will keep the highest bid regularly updated in the first post of this thread

the auction will be up for 36 hours

good luck

Bid 100$, not likely to win with that amount though. Great looking caps regardless, looking forward to the future projects!

Is it just me or does the MX version have less of a surface texture than the Topre one? Almost looks polished.

No problem and I didn't really notice the names until after I was done admiring the caps too.

Waiting for stuff to bake/settle gives me a lot of time to do nothing and just browse.

Interested to see what the high bid is

BlueNalgene · « **Reply #18 on:** Tue, 07 July 2015, 14:09:53 »

It'd be cool to include part of the broken mold with the stuff the winner will receive. It would be fitting.

While I will miss the V2 especially considering I have yet to acquire one(still don't know what I got from low NA sale) I am excited to see what greatness Bro has in store for the V3 and the next reaper.

Very interested in seeing what level of detail/complexity and symetry is on the Brobot V3 after seeing the Reaper V2

That MX aluminum one would look amazing with the Duck Viper... unfortunately it probably will sell for more than the Duck Viper..

I was lucky enough to get my first Bro V2 from the last sale. This looks really great. Congrats to whoever gets it.

ghostjuggernaut · « **Reply #40 on:** Tue, 07 July 2015, 22:31:43 »

I really wish I could participate in his auction. To own such an iconic piece of art would be absolutely amazing! Could never have imagined a better send off for such a great design. Good luck to everyone participating!

VmaxEngage · « **Reply #42 on:** Tue, 07 July 2015, 23:15:25 »

Wow, great ending to such an iconic piece.

Really, really, really hoping I ended up with a V2 from the Low Sodium sale. I just have to have one!

So you get 2 bro caps + dibs ticket that could get you up to 5 more...

Why these bids not higher?

They'll for sure jump up higher near the end of the auction.

Plus bunny hasn't updated it in a while..

Also a little surprised they not higher! Those caps are sooo sweet, I've been hoping they would be made since steel bros were released. Glad it happened
