I'm not really into this set but in case it affects other buyers, I have to manually reset my password everytime I try to login on SP's group buy website.

Well I placed an order for 2 sets, but the site still shows a total of 1 ordered?

Okay, this is weird... The first time I clicked "Pay with Paypal" it went to the homepage.... I went through the process again and now it looks like it will actually charge my Paypal account for the CURRENT VALUE???? ($258!)

Anyone know how I should go about "ordering" 2 sets of Orange Crush properly? Do you do the checkout stage or....?

It won't actually charge you for that amount. It will instead put a hold on your account for that amount (because it's the maximum you might have to pay), and then actually charge you for the final amount once the group buy ends.

May wake up in the middle of the night and buy in.

You need to do it at around 3 or 4 AM when the crickets are still chirping out your window and the moon is full  :thumb: .

Best time to get with a Group Buy because with this one it will deliver your caps to your front door, no matter were you live and no worries about anything.

This will happen from now on with all Signature Plastics Group Buys here.  EVERYONE will hang around the website waiting for the final 2 hours to arrive and see how much the price has fallen.  When it looks right to most people then you'll get the avalanche of orders coming through.

Maybe that's how SP has designed it to work that way but it has happened with all previous GB's and I don't see it being any different here.

The issue is that if there are still only 3 buyers at that point, there will be no avalanche. For the previous successful group buys, starting prices were much lower so more people were willing to bite. I wish they would implement a feature like Massdrops so you could at least see how many people are willing to join in at a lower price point ):

I really hope SP listens and implements something similar to Massdrop.

The early days of an SP group buy all follow a similar pattern. Everyone wants to jump on it ASAP, but doesn't want to put a hold on their PayPal account at the initial tiers. We all wish that PS had the "commit to buy" feature and then pine away while we wait for the orders to trickle in. Then, in the last week, orders start flooding in and we all rejoice.  :))

Patience is not an easy lesson to learn, but it is taught daily here at GH.

Hey everyone. If the GB leader was ok with it, we could drop the MOQ on this set to 75 units. This would bring the starting price down to $79. Might be a good way to kick start some traction. We would just need their D-Squad's ok.

tjcaustin, are you the creator of this group buy? Or do you know the creator?

In this reply, Excessive suggested that at least for the time being, we try to convince the group buy leader to raise the MOQ to a higher level (such as 75, and have a starting price of $79) to see if more people would commit.

Pros:
More people would probably commit right off the bat.

Cons:
Those who really want this set and are willing to pay $129 for it have a chance of not being able to buy the set.

By drop the MoQ, I assume you mean raise, right? 

If it will encourage more people to sign up *now* to get to 75 instead of wait until it already hits 75, I say do it.

This would make it a done deal for me. I'm willing to get my feet wet with a worst case scenario of $79

I passed the message to Queen of Buys at SP.  I realized that the included ISO kit I planned to have in the main kits was excluded so I'll have to add them as child kits at this point (sorry, ISOers).  If most people that were going to buy the main set would get that as well, I think that would basically subsidize the cost to an acceptable cost for all.

When I originally priced this a year ago, adding the ISO kit to the full set added something around $10 to each set.  I understand if those that don't want ISO choose not to get it now that it isn't compulsory, but yeah, plea noted.

If it will encourage more people to sign up *now* to get to 75 instead of wait until it already hits 75, I say do it.

TJ,

What about the Orange on White set?  Will the moq be changed on that as well?

It has already been adjusted to minimum 75.  So get to it.

This is great news! Come on, people, lets spread the word. I REALLY want this set to be produced!

I like orange.

...or at least I would be in if anything on their website worked.

Does it not work...?

It wouldn't let me check out but that's because my Paypal is non-instant payment, so I have to transfer money from bank account to Paypal balance first.

just weird problems attempting to log in.  or attempting to create a new account. or attempting to reset my password. or attempting to use paypal.  I'll figure it out later.

I think Orange Crush with Tex Acrylic 60% case would make an awesome combination. It would be almost as delicious as an...

I asked this earlier but never saw a answer.

Will the tier for the Cream set be changed to match the new tier of the Orange set?

Stalled at 9....  :(

I really thought there'd be more interest in this set. Hope it makes the tipping point somehow.

2 weeks left. I'm sure there will be a flood of orders towards the end.

I would be all over this but I just swore off DCS.
I think I said that earlier in this thread but don't know an easy way to check.
My not-buyers-remorse compels me to post anyway. :<

I do wish it were DSA instead. Especially after seeing the DSA render in the IC.

But it's still going to look really good DCS.  What I don't understand is so far people have just purchased the Orange set.  I think for it to look it's best you would need the orange and the cream sets.

Most people don't want to pay $180 or more for a set of caps....

Orange set = $79
Cream set = $79
Modifiers set = $97

So, you can buy both sets to get the colour combination you want, but then you're left with a full set of inverse colours. Just buying a modifiers set costs even more...

I like white alphas with orange mods or all orange, orange alphas and white mods just doesn't look right to me, so I don't know what I'd do with the "inverse" set of caps remaining. All orange looks fantastic on the 60% mockup. I've ordered 2 of the all orange sets instead, so we have a better chance of hitting MOQ and actually getting the sets made. I may add a cream set later, if my budget allows, but it still seems like a bit of a waste.

Summer's coming, get your Orangesicle!

I have to admit, though, that the bottom row of DCS is starting to irritate a little... I may be limiting my future keycap purchases to Cherry profile.

Isn't that available as an add-on pack?

Only mods (without ISO keys), num pad sets and ErgoDox sets that I can see. So there is no ISO love happening in this GB so far.

Less than 2 days left... only on 12 so far. Here's hoping, but it doesn't look great.
