It was a joke, come on.

Maybe in really poor taste though, I'll delete that.

With every post in this thread the price of all my rare keycaps has increased by $100.

You don't even WANT to know how much my cherry corp red esc key is worth now...

If click clack simply took requests to make caps for say $40-$50 for any cap he has ever made, that would give people the ability to buy the exact ones they want at a higher price directly from him.

It would also prevent anyone from spending more than that on the secondary market. Its the limited runs of these keys that is causing the problem.

RiGS · « **Reply #108 on:** Fri, 30 December 2011, 19:24:53 »

That's a good idea, but I think he is way too busy to make custom keys on request.
I think something similar to a group buy is more doable.

They are making like 86$ without paying any taxes, without paying paypal fees...

This is a moot point. Are you saying I should be paying more taxes and paypal fees? What does this have to do with anything?

Quote from: guilleguillaume;480653

I mean what's wrong with you people? He trusted on this community time ago, he stoped making keycaps for a while and when he comes back we found that people are here just to earn a lot of money from his work. I found this to be a joke, a bad one to be honest. And I supose he won't say anything about that but I don't think he approves that.

From what I gather from a lot of people who are opposed to selling these at a higher price than they initially costed is that these people don't want complete control over the product that they purchase.
They would rather be dictated morals and rules related to buying and selling said item by the manufacturer of said item afterwards.
I find this just plain ridiculous.

I don't see anything wrong with selling the items that I OWN at the price of their perceived value.
At this point actually Id like ClickClack himself to say what he thinks of this as I'm curious to know where he stands. Obviously I don't mean any disrespect to him by simply selling a product that he made at the price of it's perceived value.

Also I'd like to note that I did not sell all of my clickclack keys nor do I plan on it,

But for the ones I am selling/did sell why should I not profit off of them?
We are talking about valuable items that I personally have ownership of.

If you had a rare car that you initially purchased for a small sum and then the time comes to sell it; are you really saying you would sell it to another owner at the same price you paid?
This simply leaves them to potentially profit off of your blissful thinking.

It is not unethical to allow the market to determine the price of a good. All of this fuss will do nothing. Well it might piss off CC to the point where he quits making them which is bull****. I hope he doesn't take this crap seriously. The fun part about getting and collecting these keys is that they are expensive and hard to get. I have spent entire days camping out in the virtual clackfactory so that I did not miss a sale, but that just makes me appreciate my keys even more and if someone else doesn't want to do that and has to pay more for the same key then thats their fault. This isn't a communist keyboard forum we have a free market!

Why on earth would he do that? It's great for him that the caps have become so valuable. The smart thing to do would be to continue releasing limited runs and let the value increase.
I have only been into kb and on gh for a short time and in that time the value of the caps has increased, and I hope it continues to do so. I think what ppl are annoyed about is that others have seen an opportunity to buy these and sell them on immediately to make a fast buck. It's annoying, but it's inevitable.

I have also camped out for days on EK and ended up missing out, but it's just bad luck. If I then have to pay 40 to get the cap off someone else well so be it, I've made that decision. I also know that if I fall on hard times I will at the very least be able to recoup what I paid for them. I much prefer this to CC suddenly releasing 10,000 caps, and I don't think he would be that stupid either.

Wow this thread carried on a lot after I went to sleep. I wish CC commented on his opinions. I just want to say I don't think control over the classified is the way to go, I just think selling things that another member did for "community" is bad form.

Hi guys, happy new year.

I have 3 G84-4100PPAUS and the keys are worn off on them, I want to replace them.
Thank you

Nowhere, as far as I know. Brand new lasered G84-4100 pop up now and then for cheap on eBay and similar places.
