Clack Info Thread

[dustinhxc]

Will there be more info on how to buy them as the sale comes closer?

Normally a few days before there will be a post in the 4grabs thread with instructions on how to submit your interest and sometimes photos will be shown as well. Normally items are numbered and there will be an email address listed right before the sale and you will simply follow the instructions given and send an email at the given time for the items you want. The rest is up to fate.

Yeah we saw from the last 4 grabs time is not how you're chosen so it's in the hands of fate I guess..

Yea, he does some surprise sales from time to time. He held one for a trio of F2's some months back like this one, but I wouldn't call those sales a 4grabs which those do go to the quickest trigger fingers.

[Air tree]

This is going to be my first 4Grabs...I can't wait to be showered in disappointment.

[rowdy]

**** that's my bad guys. You're right, there is in fact a 4/20/14 Clack sale. Missed that.

Where do you think I got the countdown timer from?

[Belfong]

There's the therapy thread for that Air tree. Now, which to prioritize? Bro or Clack?

[Cottonsox]

So many commitmentsbthat weekend . Looks like another sale I will miss. At least I won't have the illusion that I have a chance, so my butthurt will be at a minimum.

[YoungMichael88]

Well, it looks like this time YM88 is going to be the one who's stuck at work in the middle of the woods with no shot at this long awaited clack sale. Good luck everyone!!

[litster]

Guys, how much are these worth?

[jwaz]

Guys, how much are these worth?

about $20ish each

[CPTBadAss]

Guys, how much are these worth?

Check the price thread for second hand market prices. I think they were like $30 retail? And I'm not sure of the current 420 prices.

[HoffmanMyster]

Guys, how much are these worth?

Clacks currently retail for about $40 - at least that's how much the last sale was.

[dustinhxc]

I guess Badass has his work cut out for him now! A new TRI Skull!! New Stickys!

Anyone know about the meanings behind the names for Mr. Friday and Miz Kite?  I did some searches but can't really find anything.  Or hopefully CC reads this and can enlighten us, please.

My guess for Mr. Friday is a reference to Good Friday for Easter.  And for Miz Kite, I have no idea.  The only thing that pops up in my head is the word "kismet", which means fate.

Pretty sure Mr. Friday is for Mr. Friday Night like a party animal that goes w the 420 theme. I assume Miz Kite is a mister high as a kite.

[Lu_e]

Pretty much ^

I always thought of; Friday

& Miz Kite I just think of the term "high as a kite". & obviously the (Ms.) female 420 skull is going to be prettier

Judging by the red eyes I think you're right.

Ahhh haha shwoosh.  Thanks man, that definitely makes more sense.  Mr. Friday is definitely the most jovial of all Clacks.

although I wouldn't call her ugly

Interesting, but yeah Miz Kite is far from ugly!  And female Clacks?  I wonder if there's a difference if you look at the underside...

Female Clacks have no stem and are useless.

I kid, of course.

They do, it's topre.

Hey guys, does anyone know if I would be able to trade a topre hack orange CC skull for an MX skull of any variation? I am thinking of buying a hack orange for 80 bucks, then later trading it for an MX. Is this a good idea? Thanks!

It could work - people are often happy to swap one Clack for another they want.

You will need a few more posts before you can post a trade thread though.

Hack Orange is one of the most common colors, so your options might be limited.  Trading Topre for MX in the same color should be doable, or for other common colors like Mint Gum and F2 Red.

I'd like a HO Skull (to match my HO Toast), but I have nothing to trade.

Actually the new rules state that "... users who have been members of the forum for at least 2 months and have 25 or higher post count".

You have > 25 posts, but have not been a member for 2 months yet.

That rule is not happening yet because no one is around to know how to chance the code.

So much confidence in the person chancing the code.  Is it a RNG?

Price check on night owl mx.

Price check on night owl mx.

if you have one, you can sell it to me.

[CPTBadAss]

Price check on night owl mx.

I think it was $25 in 4Grabs. Haven't seen any in the classifieds for sale recently.

[noisyturtle]

Price check on night owl mx.

I wouldn't pay any less than $350-400

[t2russo]

$20 on ek http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cherrymxkeys&pid=cf_5c_now

Not telling for mine.

[YoungMichael88]

1) Sees "$20 on EK" with a link to the store in a clack thread as the most recent post.

2) Almost has heart attack.

3) realizes it was just an answer to a question.

4) let's adrenaline subside.

I think I'd cry if I saw all the old EK Clack pages and their low, low prices.

iirc, only the solid yellow one was up for a little while, I would have to check again though since the pages were not updated inline with the stock.
The tri-colors however were sold out in a relatively short time. Significantly less than two days I think. It could have been two hours and the solid red ones were two days.  I really should check my old records at some point and not rely on my memory.

[t2russo]

It honestly scares me a little whenever clickclack posts in threads like this because it's like a real life reminder that Santa is always watching...
