Well, people just expect price drops to happen out of nowhere.

If you want to get better prices, order more. Don't rely on others to get your 2 keycap price down.

I know it's obvious, but heh.

Oh, we'll hit 500. I still haven't put my order in yet.

Actually, if the order pace continues like this, we may well reach 1000: Record levels!

And about white: Either take the full on flashy white to really make the key visible or the white that you decided to use for billiard set.

I do like the White from the billiard set, it is a creamier off white.  I'm not a big fan of the super bright white.

Any other opinions?

Is that the same red from the LoD and Awesome Face keys? I think we should go with that red to match.

Yeah, I'd be worried that with the graphic YY might be a bit too yellow. YCB wuold probably look a bit better IMO, but either works fine.

I prefer RCQ for the red (which was used for the red legends on poker suit r2), but RA is ok also. YCH looks better to me for the yellow. Good to see there is an end, that makes me happy knowing we are closer to getting them now.

I think lysol is right...the more I look at pictures and compare to the colors I think we need a lighter red than RA and a little more pop on the yellow than YCB.  YCB looks almost a little mustard like yellow next to the YY and YCH

What happened to the 500 price tier? Went from $0.60 to $0.74. Inflation? Higher gas prices?

I got an updated price list from Melissa that had a price hike.  I questioned it and she said it was a mistake.  I will set it back.

That is right.  Don't expect an invoice right away, it will come in a couple of days after the buy closes.
