$10 for a bag of 1000 random leftover keys, either white on black or various colors and shapes. Extra original sets of Cherry keys too.
Melissa sent me the heads up on this, so credit goes to her!
Dave out.
-
Very good deal, could hit some good stuff in there
-Bags of single space keys are available containing only black keys with white legends. (http://www.keycapsdirect.com/images/BlackSingleSpace.jpg)
-Bags of single space keys are also available containing mixed colors (http://www.keycapsdirect.com/images/ColoredSingleSpace.jpg) (no black/white keycaps).
-Bags of special shape keys contain mixed colors (including black/white), various rows and sizes, and a variety of legends. (http://www.keycapsdirect.com/images/SpecialShapes.jpg)

I can see something familiar here...

Definitely overloaded.
-
Wonder how many are gonna actually get it; if they are giving them away by thousands, I think only a few will get them.
-
Except that they make thousands upon thousands of keys lol. I only bought one white on black bag. The multicolored looked like a lot of grays and whites so I wasn't really interested lol.

BORING :rofl:
-
Well that was just my first instinct. I may buy more. I told her to just throw them in with Nyancat... so I have time.
-
For those of us that get them I can see a massive trading thread go up after we recieve them. That should be fun :D.

Yeah when everyone starts getting them we should do trades so we can get complete sets of what we're looking for if possible.

You're right there. 1000 is a lot of keys. I bet it's not cheap shipping them either.

Yah I'm curious what it will cost. 100 keys could be double the price of the keys them self. Or more I don't really know. Hopefully less ;)

Damn! Just saw this. Hope I don't get the short end of the stick,..=P

Hmm well did anybody get a grabbag besides rangock? tsangan? demik? I didn't get an email.....yet <-- there is still hope.

Did anybody get an email back?

I sent an email at 5:19 pst, and didn't receive an email. Maybe they're not responding at all.
-
Probably not, she's probably going to send replies/invoices when she gets to work lol.
-
is it sold out or should i try emailing?
-
is it sold out or should i try emailing?
There's probably at least 50 bags in front of you by now. I'm going to say by now, there's no point. I knew this a few hours ago, but I emailed her anyways lol
This was a leftover sale, not a 'make a bunch of extra keycaps by the thousands to sell dirt cheap' sale :p
-
Hic, too late again? :(
-
Bummer. Hopefully I don't miss out if it ever happens again. I look forward to seeing what exactly everyone got though!
-
HA, I missed something awesome AGAIN. Congrats to whoever secured them. Looking forward to seeing them in the classifieds...

Yeah I don't like them a lot, my primary ***** is their R4 keys. They are too damn sharp.
However if I got them I would have just resold them, like almost anyone else is going to do after cherry picking their favorite caps. Even selling them at $.10 each would still making money.
-
Whoevers get an email first post here. Let us know shipping price and what not.
-
Waiting on email T-T.
Oh cruel world, please let me get a bag. I'll trade you my PSP...

Of course the days I don't get on geekhack as much the coolest **** happens

Should be anytime now. They just updated the message again on their page.
WE RECEIVED AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE TO OUR GRAB BAG SPECIAL AND AT THIS TIME WE ARE OUT OF STOCK. WE WILL BE SORTING THROUGH ORDERS ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS - UNFORTUNATELY NOT EVERY ORDER PLACED WILL BE RECEIVING A GRAB BAG. NOTIFICATIONS WILL BE SENT VIA EMAIL REGARDING ORDER STATUS.
-
god....I am so incredibly sad I missed this...someone that managed to get a "colored caps" bag please get in touch with me, if you are willing to possibly split the bag 500/500. For a nice profit for you of course.
-
Man, this is where I realize that I should have just bought them all and sold them to everyone for $30 lol.

impatiently waiting for the emailing saying 'Sorry, SOL'

I Love it when a community like us bring down systems by overloading it. Last time I remember this happening was the Lego Cuusoo page for voting on a minecraft set. Minecraft put up this link on facebook and 2 minutes later the Cuusoo page went down. **** yeah for fanboys of anything (cept twighlight and justin bieber, but if you're a boy and you do like these two things i need to beat some sense into you)

Same email I got. I emailed them like 2 mins after rag posted it. Hopefully I get one. If not, I'm bothering tsangan :p

What time did you send the email order? That also means everyone that sent it before you should get it also.

Nah, I've learned to be selective.

Wow. If you emailed her 2 minutes after this thread was created and you only received 2/3 bags then I'll unlikely get any. : (

Got this emailed to me, guess I can be hopeful, I was pretty quick ordering.

Odd I still didn't get a email yet, and I'm pretty sure I was ahead of some people, oh well.
If Ragnarok still didn't get a email yet then that's even more weird, and I'm pretty sure not many people knew about this before Ragnarok gave us the heads up since no one camps SP's website :rofl:

I can hear the tents going up on sp website now.

I wonder what s gonna end up on the classifieds in the coming weeks
-
Like most, I'm still waiting to learn the status of my order. I'm getting somewhat ambivalent, since it could end up being like one of those fast-food promotional games: easy to collect most of the pieces, and impossible to find a critical few.

Got 1 bag of mixed colors! woo hoo

whisker, would you be willing to share? Im interested in buying half of a colored bag.

-
No problem I am just trying to piece together a retro set and hopefully find an OTD hand keycap
-
Damnit, this would have been fun to get in on. They should do this more often.
If anyone has extra keys(really, who can use 1000 keys?), then let us know. I'd love to try some sphericals myself.
-
the response was far greater than we could have expected... not sure if we will do another buy in the future
Just so people don't waste time camping SP's website

Hum, think about this. How ASS-BACKWARD is this? "Wow, there is soooo much interests in these basically garbage that we were going to throw away, we are not sure if we will do another one again..." Well, totally inline with what SP has been doing. "We don't do double cut, that is too much work." "We are going to charge more because we can't get our sh1t straight and that we make mistakes."
-
The thing with Signature Plastics, is they don't make the bulk of their money from weird keyboard people. They make their money from businesses and corporations. This is just a side project for them. Once the overwhelming sorting and accounting happens and they're selling big bags of keys, it's not worth it to them. It's the same thing going to a steel mill. It's not financially feasible to babysit someone while they walk around a steel mill, find what they're looking for, slice a 1' of square steel tubing and send them on their way. I'm sure they feel the same way here.
What they COULD profit off of is someone placing a HUGE order of abs doubleshots, and that person individually selling sets. But this market/forum is so fickle and flighty, that there's no guarantee that you'll get your money back.
I'm not saying SP is right in this regard, but I think what they thought was going to be just offing their small stock, ended up being a processing nightmare, and probably won't make the same mistake twice (or offer bags of 100 random keys for $10, to lower the demand)

Easily and they still would have sold pretty quick. Still though I'm sure this is small potatoes for them. Probably wouild have just been more work to split them up more. I need to unsubscribe from this thread because its making me mad ;)

I sent email an hour after this post; so not sure S:
We currently only have black grab bags of keys. Shipping to California for you 1 bag will be $13.50
-
I wonder if Devlin has a similar offering...
-
Got 1 bag of mixed blacks... damn, I really wanted a bag of mixed and a bag of modifiers.
also got two red escape keys included as well which I get to save on shipping for.
guess I can't complain
-
I wonder if Devlin has a similar offering...
We need a dedicated person to camp their site...
-
Lol shipping is more than the actual bag.
-
I just sent them a request for a bag, just to see if I get anything. They're probably gone, but you never know. Maybe they find one under a desk?
-
Got 1 mix black..camping my email all day. Lmao
-
Got 1 mix black..camping my email all day. Lmao
I guess I should have asked for black as well. It seems a couple people after me got some. Oh well I'm looking forward to the threads once people start getting them.
-
Hats off to Melissa for responding so quickly and keeping everything in order... My item was even shipped 15 mins after I paid. What I don't understand is why it seems like SP didn't put ANY thought in this. If you manage to get even one complete set without modifiers/spacerbar you could probably sell it for $20. This was like a freebie. There was massive potential for profit.
Did Ragnorock end up getting any? I feel bad, and not sure why that makes sense if he doesn't. He could of easily taken all the bags for himself and profited insanely.
-
No bags at all. I just got the email = (.
-
Got 2 bags of mixed, but damn 35$ shipping to Canada.
For 3 bags to UK it would of been $60!

It didn't feel right to me to buy all of them and try to sell them off for something like $30-50 per bag. I make my money by providing leftovers from group buys, this was just to give everyone here a great deal.

Managed to snag a mixed colour grab bag.
Not sure what I will do with it though.
I only have a Poker with Cherry switches, and it would become a very colourful one.
If I end up not wanting to keep them, I would share them with the community (non profit of course).

I love you <3

i wouldn't complain if you would made profit with it :D
i think i need a new keyboard and buy as much different colored keycaps from this bags as possible lol :D
-
Now I really wish I would have gotten a bag of special shaped keys as well because even if I am able to piece together a RETRO set I will not have any of the modifiers for it :( so hopefully someone will be willing to trade. With that being said after I am done trading and got the ones I am looking for I have a list of people I will be trying to help get the keys they are looking for and after those people are done I will try and help others :). So everyone cheer up because I have the greatest intention of sharing the wealth and helping the community, but with that being said I can't possibly help everyone and already have a pretty long list of people to find keys for so don't send me a bunch of PM's, I think that we will have to setup a thread for people to post what they are looking for and if we have it maybe you will get it :)

Those were sold out even before demik got to them, I didn't get a bag of those either

Hey, what happened to the Melissa pics???
I took them down for privacy issues I figured she takes enough **** from us lol
-
Damn, now you made me check on LinkedIn.
That would take forever read my other posts if you really want to find it. you can find just about everything on google these days even images <-- hint*

Huh? She's under Melissa at Signature Plastics. Don't look up iMav - scary picture.
Come on sherlock

Wow, I need to go buy a lottery ticket NOW. I've been on Geekhack about a week now, new to the mechanical keyboard world. Well, new might not be the right word. When I started my IT career in the late '80s I used a Model M daily. I wish I would have stocked up on some then. Anyway, after typing on a black widow at best buy, I knew I wanted to make the switch (Public service announcement here: When newb's tell you they bought a Razer Black Widow. Try to retrain from making fun. I bet they know it's a low end keyboard. It might be all they can afford at the moment. I bet, with encouragement and not petty elitism, that very same newb might just one day have the skills you do to obtain [insert the hot mechanical keyboard of the moment here]. Hell he might just become a vibrant part of the mech board community. Just sayin. /END public service announcement) After perusing the classifieds in search for a Model M, i was pretty much resigned to having to spend 80-100 for a Model M . Then I came across Treigle’s post. Someone backed out of a sale and all of a sudden, I have myself a Model M for $26 shipped. And this isn't a clunker, VERY clean beautiful board. The next day I see this thread. I have no clue what a big deal it could be. At the time i think there were only three replies. So I casually head over to SP and order 1 bag of black on white and 1 bag of mixed colors. Head out to go run for the evening and get back and see all the activity in the thread and I start to realize what a big deal it is. Figured no way a get lucky again is there? Well I got both bags I ordered. Tonight I buy the lottery tickets. When they announce my winning #'s Go ahead and PM me your dream keyboard. I’ll even pay shipping.
Anyway, my first thought was "oh man, I can probably sell these for profit" But that doesn't seem right. If rang hadn't posted that I wouldn’t even have had the opportunity. As a thank you ,when i get my bags I want Rangarock to look at what I received and grab any he needs or wants and also give me a good idea of what I have and need to hang on to. To be honest, I probaly wont know what I have thats "rare" or whatever. After he's had a chance to go through them, i would like Triegle to see if there is anything he wants, then I’ll post what I have publicly and see if I can help fill some sets out there. Just a newb saying thank you. Especially to those that don't make fun of the newb with the Razer...
-
Should I make a trade post in classifieds or keycap forum?
-
Well thats good you have a razer because these are all MX style keycaps meaning that they wont fit on your model M. Welcome 2 Geek Hack!
-

Hmm your right we all need to get on the same page! maybe we need a private area to discuss trades before we announce it otherwise it will be flooded with crap posts
-
I'm thinking one thread in classifieds. Whoever creates it just name it "SP grab bag keycap trade thread" or something similar.
-
whats with the guys who dont got a bag for trade :(
-
Yeah I'm thinking classifieds so it can be open to all.
Anybody care if I make it or did anybody else want to make it?
-
Please save me your black moogle kits. I will buy/trade for them!
-
Did anyone from here get their hands on the odd sized keycap bag? I haven't seen someone claim it yet. Seems like if they did there will be a ton of demand for whatever they got.

So far from what's been posted I think only one dude got it, but there's going to be a lot of terminal keys in there I'm pretty sure, and not a lot of whatever everyone is thinking of
Got all 3 bags :D

I don't see why not. Signature Plastics is a big company who can't afford the time to manage microtransactions. You are essentially doing this for them. This is no different than companies who buy stock directly out of Korea and resell it in other countries with a little markup.

I wonder how much of it will be rejects / mistakes, some of which could be quite funny. I'd like to see some with sideways or upside down legends and putrid color combos.

I didn't get one either, but i did get a response saying that i was added to the list. I'm sure they will have more in the future.

This is the first time we have done this - the response was far greater than we could have expected... not sure if we will do another buy in the future
The 8 years+ Melissa's been there and they never had a sale like this before. Also considering that this isn't making them money they are simply just getting rid of their useless keys and I'm sure it took a bit of time for them too, so I'm not quite sure when we'll see a sale like this again, that is if they decide to run something like this again.
-
darn! I can't believe I missed out on such a neat product! You guys that got in had best be taking pictures and selling the ones you don't want!
-
You DO realize statistics are against you getting a full 104 key set.
I'd do the math but somebody would have to pay me.
*of matching colors
I'd think if someone jumped on and received all possible options for the grab bags there would be a pretty darn good chance of getting a full 104 set .. of different colors. :p
edit: assuming each of the 104 keys has the same probability of being selected and the bags were created at random.
-

I think we have a pretty good chance of getting an alpha numeric set, but I think the modifiers will be the ones we wont be able to get since like only one person that we know of got the special size bag.

I thought about that, but there is always waste in processes like this. Perhaps they used to just recycle/trash their one-offs.

Rage. Can't believe I miss this. The one week where I don't check out Great Finds...

I just love the idea of having so many spare keys! if anyone's interested:
I'd totally be into in taking 500 of your least favourite multicoloured keys, and i'd pay you the $10 you payed to get them!
got myself in on the list, but darn! wish I didnt miss this.
-
$10 + shipping right? since shipping > product price haha

ofcourse! shipping from you to me, i'm in canada, so it would be ideal if the user was in North America

You're making some specific assumptions yourself. Unlike Vegas, nobody really knows the rules of this game.

Got my box earlier this morning, won't have time to open it until later. 6 pounds, 9.4 ounces of little colored plastic bits. I must be going crazy, can't believe I just bought all that...
-
zomg :) i'm jelly
-
I thought the shipping cost was a ripoff, but they actually *had* to bust out the large flat rate box for this one.

Did you get 3 bags revenge?

Lucky! Everytime I go to bestbuy, they're out of blackwidows.

I dunno. Didn't fentek have a 55 gallon trashcan full a while ago? I thought they donated it to a school to use in art projects.
I should have gotten on the list earlier!
Also: to the math people: Monkey's don't type randomly, so if they have colemak or dvorak (gotta get that alternation!) they have a much better chance of typing all shakespeare.
Edit: looks like fentek had 65 lbs, as seen here:
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?6029-Any-Ideas
Looks like they were printed, not doubleshot for the most part, though.
Still, that's a lot of keys.
-
I got my bag finally, not sure how close to a full set I got, but it didn't seem like I got too much of anything. I also snagged an "Av Slutt" key and a "CANCEL Active Order" key among a few others lol.
Will figure out what exactly when I finish getting all the Nyans out.
-
Did anybody get a full set?
Didn't think so.

Statistics can save you money.
I am 1 retro L away from a complete alpha numeric set

i have one of tsangan's bags. unfortunately not the greatest bag, but i should have some stuff to trade -- which is good, because i got zero keys over 1x width...
-
Colored grab bags and black/white are 1x.

ok then get your tradin engines ready folks, because i need me the crap out of some modifiers.
