GMK 'Miami Nights' + CMYKv2 + spacebars: In Limbo/Unfulfillment

[iamtootallforthis]

Oh Elrick! 4x$115=$460. On f$@&#%g keycaps!
I couldn't live with myself.
Add in one CMYK puts it past $500.
I'd keel over.


On the other hand, I'm now poised to be a vendor of this awesome set.
Then I turn that small profit into an empire, and my Ascent to Power will be complete.


It could happen, right?

I did 4x Hyperfuse GMK.

I regret nothing.

Haha I did a bunch of those too!

We need to start a cabal to fix aftermarket prices on these though...

I really should have bought a Hyperfuse set 

It's okay sir. I represent a group of gentlemen who might be able to help you out with that...for the right price muahahaha.

Just kidding. There will be plenty for sale, and I would imagine CtrlAlt will have some too.

I figured haha. I just didn't have the money at the time as I ordered Hack'd by Geeks instead and didn't have cash flow at school to be order to order both.

Geekhack isn't the place for REGRETS.  Every Group Buy is about the ability to front up and deliver your faith, in the religious belief in acquiring MORE key-caps for your keyboards.

 Just like a Christian looking for atonement of his sins you come here to banish the evil of boring key-sets, that have been thrust upon innocent keyboards across this land.  You must be the courageous one that stands against the heathens of mediocrity, the ones that think plain ABS key-caps is enough for anyone to use.  GMK will set them free of their ignorance and complete their education into correct keyboard observance.  No more settling upon 'ordinary' key-sets but instead being anointed into the fraternity of true Geekhackers.

We are the LAST bastion of keyboard believers and nothing shall interfere or dissuade our faith in that.  ...........GMK shall set you free  .

You are a hero! Such bravery facing 4 sets of GMK! A true hero of the keyboard community.
The community need you once more in these are dark times.
Will you heed the call? Will you stand with the Knights Miami?

Already in for 2 of everything with Miami

Saving some of my wallet for Photekq's Classic Beige and the possible Cyrillic/Red mods that billnye might do

Just ordered. So much to love in this GB it's just silly. If you have incomplete WoB sets lying around you really need to take a look at this GB.

For example: Those CR+2B mods (in the mod pack) are the bees knees.

[Sent]

Stupid broke right now but I'll figure out some way to sneak an order in before this closes.   Been waiting for something like this for a while and if I miss it, I'll just be swimming in a sea of regret like usual.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing as well. WoB doubleshots from a G80-1800 with the CMYK modifiers and a nice splash of color with a spacebar

That shall shorten your lifespan if you always choose to live out your life, with REGRET in your heart  .

For me there are NO REGRETS because life is too short for wasting time on it.  ALWAYS jump on the necessary Group Buys like GMK because they shall always be with you no matter how far into the future you dwell.

Like everything in life, go for it and keep on fighting for what's right and decent and never hold back on anything  .

[rsadek]

There's the Elrick I've been waiting for! Love the enthusiasm for this amazing set!


 Elrick is right, it is going to exceed expectations, and there will some sad faces on those who missed out once the board pics start to flow.

[shower_king]

two weeks left, did we almost reach MOQ on base kit？

Too fvcking right  .  When the photos start streaming in here on GH central those sad bastards sitting on the fence, shall be reaching for their rusty razors wanting to end it all for missing this GB.

Avoid meeting Satan for an eternity of punishment and degradation,  jump into the holy light of this of Group Buy and receive the never-ending rapture of delight  .

[swimmingbird]

I'm guessing we're still a ways off

I imagine the bulk amount of orders come at the beginning, with a steady but slow trickle throughout the middle, finishing with a burst of FOMO buyers

Let's hope so! I updated my order too.

What's FOMO buyers?

[nickheller]

What's FOMO buyers?

Fear of missing out.

So we are the FOMO's, meaning we'll all dance naked around the camp fire at night  ?

Reserved a handful of space bars.

[IvanIvanovich]

We're getting pretty close now. Lets get more orders in! If you have been waiting around to order now is the time. I'm pretty optimistic, I may just go ahead and start invoicing next week.

Nice! 

All you fence sitters, get in the game!

If you only ordered one or two sets, consider doubling or tripling.  You won't get another chance at this!

So true, time now to start charging for hand-jobs and special kinks because this GMK exclusive is slowly coming to an end.

Miss out on this one then wait for another colour-way, which might come along to stiffen your member but I doubt it..........

That's great news!  This is going to look great.

In the order form, you're asking for the adress in that order: City, State/Province, Postal code
Is that the right order? In Germany, we usually do Postal code, City, State/Province. Just want to make sure that I'll recieve it!

Yes, Ivan is in the league of a small handful here on Geekhack, that you could trust implicitly with your hard earned cash  .

He has NEVER run a bad Group Buy because everything he touches turns to GOLD fairly quickly, he's the wizard of Geekhack.

I think Ivan is a pretty cool guy. Eh makes cool group buys and doesnt afraid of anything.

[LXXXIX]

I have the feeling this is one of those group buys that doesn't really get too many people hype for some reason, but once pictures start popping up people will be begging for another run.

This set is a must this year IMO. Sophisticated, smart, unique, and not obnoxious. Can't wait Ivan!

This is absolutely true.  And that's why I have no problem buying extra sets.

I mean it is well designed. It has an intention without compromising the aesthetics. Ya dig?

Doubled up my order. I want this set so bad.

One obstacle is that this is a fairly original colorway so it's hard to get a sense of what the final product will look like.  With most GMK GBs you can reference existing boards (Dolch, Olivetti, Beige, etc.) or non-GMK counterparts (Hyperfuse, Red Alert) to get a decent feel for the end product.

I definitely agree that once real pictures come in there will be a huge spike in interest.

That only plays a small role in the equation. I'm sure the primary things that hinder this GB from taking off is exposure and price. I've said it again and again Trumph Adler did phenomenal on Massdrop. I never imagined those big numbers. TA not only has a unique colorway(which they had to custom make), but also a unique profile. The colors we are using here are out in the wild, but just in the form of CMYK Modifiers. People should be able to get an idea of how it's supposed to look. As for pricing it's so tricky. Many people want something short of a masterpiece, but are not willing to pay the premium. This set I can honestly say I want/need. I don't even participate in SP group buys anymore because of the lack of quality control.

Besides what's so fun about GMK making Dolch, Olivetti, and Red Alert over and over again? It's GMK you know it will be a homerun.

TA a different beast. People had been eyeing that colorway for a while, and there was also a vendor that picked up something like 400 sets last minute. Being on MassDrop may have helped, because MassDrop's checkout/shipping garantees are a bit more reliable given it's a large company who does this sort of thing regularly, but I think that's a small factor.

I think GMK buys do better when the sets are broken up, as in having the spacebars and mod pack in a later groupbuy. HyperFuse/TA only had the 1 set, the full set, available. The Dolch GB made it despite this kind of, however the color pack was also 1/2 the cost of the mod pack here, and the space-bars always do well. There's also the Dolch Hype
