Well said. I can't help but think of all the sad, sad keycaps that are locked in a plastic bag inside a dark box somewhere, dreaming of standing tall and proud among the other keycaps and regularly being touched.

But what about the poor stock keycap that get cast aside when a pretty artisan cap comes along? Spare a tear for them :(

Pff among other caps...Show Image(http://abload.de/img/slowankn7.jpg)
Okay, to give an example.
My Marble SloFi is opaque (30$), and white / blue colored (5$ + 5$) - so it is worth 40$ unshipped?
Of course I'm not selling, just asking.
Lies, my copper slo-fi is worth millions :O

This! If its just being hoarded in a bag, inside of a boxes, inside of a drawers thats just like not walking your dog! Think I will sell my Orc at some point to someone suffering from Binge-less-ness :)
all the artisans should start doing this!! it's make its crystal clear to buyers and traders what are the expected price that they should be paying :thumb:

KeyKollectiv has up all prices from previous sales on their forum thread and BroCaps has (as of the Monster Mash sale) begun leaving up prices for the caps. Even Binge has his archive on his original website with prices of all items. It's a very useful policy, but it does take a bit of work, especially if the maker is busy, or has lots of designs (like Clack).

Clack is one that has some of the fewest designs.

I should rephrase that. Clack has a lot of colorways, and each one was sold at a different price. His prices also increase slightly per iteration of cap (his original skulls cost $18, now they're up to about $45-50). Stuff like that.
Hi binge!
How much should I be paying for photochromic otters?
Thanks, I have someone saying they are selling for 200-300 at the moment...which is out of my budget unfortunately :(
Hi binge!I found one for $100 and I think that's the most I'd be willing to pay. It's starting to look like everyone is selling for around that $200-300 range though since one just sold for $225 today on mechmarket.

The sale cost $70 to enter and there were no customs fees for international people, anyone charging more than that is taking advantage of unfortunate people like you who didn't get in and, in my personal opinion, should be banned from all artisan sales for life.
I can understand some people selling them straight away as you couldn't pick a colour, but while the capitalist ideal that they bought something so can do what they want with it is true it's putting increasing numbers of caps in the hands of rich hoarders out of reach of us normal folk :(
Remeber there will always be another sale - don't go broke!

Hey I'm about to trade my geomancy orc for a zealios otter. Trader says "Also, the Zealios Otter doesn't have an authenticity card since it was from round 1 of the photochromic sale."
Is there legitimacy here?

Authenticity cards were only ever made for the end of R2, we have plans to produce ones for original owners of R1 and R2 photochromic keycaps, but we need to get a system in place. The cost of the authenticity cards has already exhausted any donations we have received for getting the photochromic sale authenticated because I'm bad at math.

but then where would I get pictures of awesome dogs????
Simply including the actual authenticity card, with the colorway name and yours, is probably sufficient. I imagine it would significantly lower cost/time if you didn't have to spend money on the fujifilm.
According to R_bb murderface reapers have been going for $450+ and Dwok Keywoks for $650 and up. I don't even know where these crazy ass prices come from.
($1000 Hungrkey anyone? To be honest I'd rather that amount go straight to Binge for his awesome work).
What I don't get, is where does all this aftermarket stuff happen for things that no one is ever selling?bulk of the poop now happens on the ctrlalt slack community, where users are free to run things like private auctions (which aren't possible on gh/mm, and allow you to have some control over the buyer compared to ebay) and where it's a little easier to engage one/multiple parties in a trade/sale discussion.
I mean, I'm used to $200+ brobots and $300-$400 kosmonauvts and clacks. You see those sell all the time for those prices. What I don't get, is where does all this aftermarket stuff happen for things that no one is ever selling? Like V1 Reapers and Keywoks. If it was a regular thing on mechmarket or gh classifieds I'd understand. Hell maybe even purchase if I wanted the colorway bad enough ($1000 Hungrkey anyone? To be honest I'd rather that amount go straight to Binge for his awesome work).It really depends on what people are willing to pay and eBay comes in handy some times. Geekhack nor Mechmarket allow auctions (anymore) but either you set an insane price and people pay it or you put it on an auction site and see what happens. I'm not saying it is right but seeing how bidding wars can drive people a little crazy it gets very tempting to sell caps on there.
in general, you also get a lot of pm offers on any site if you ever show that you have anything valuable/in-demand (which i'm sure some people succumb to).This.

I've had unsolicited offers for caps where I don't respond so after a day the other member decides I must be having an auction and decides to keep out bidding themselves. I usually let it go on for a while before telling them that the price is $15k (the price of a semester of school for me) and to take it or leave it. I've yet to get a response back after the $15k pm :))

Seeing some aftermarket prices makes me so thankful of my last trade for a kosmo with beehatch. :)
