[GB] Lin Montage

[lanyusea]

I think Lin and his team has already explained how the form timestamp was recorded: you edit then you get a new timestamp. I'm in the original 60 spot and my time was 1:08.

I also edited my form. But here's the catch, I did it after Lin updated the OP and said that participants could now edit. So I really don't understand the rush to edit the form right after filling it the first time. Perhaps there's something fishy about this impatience and not how the form works. :dafoe:

Because some people fill out a gb form with garbage to quickly get a slot. They then update to put down correct information (address, etc.).

Maybe stop doing that.

Maybe not be too quick to judge people. I did not fill garbage information in my first submission and I can share the first submission confirmation that I got. Editing it was a mistake as I was paranoid about the address and that is a learnt lesson.

I do not wish for any redo and hope everyone who got in enjoy their board. It's a fantastic Lin design

[Myoth]

I wouldn't mind a redo, this situation kinda sucks for everyone.

A redo where people who got in the first time, might not get in a second time ? that screams for even more drama, no thanks

[Mcnos]

Who fills out G Forms with gibberish?

It's 2019,

Auto-fill is a thing.

That's what I did, and what everyone should have done.
I guess past GB experiences helped me. Money well spent 

[dantambok]

im sure i didnt that that long to enter since my browser autofilled my info but right after submitting, i opened to double check all my info. Poof no slot, saved $400 

[Myoth]

By the way, Lin, I was wondering, is it possible to get a raw Brass weight, instead of PVD coated ?

   : considering between Mirror polish or Sand Blast


Thank you.

PS. Discord server is under construction for more keen communication. Will give you guys invitation when it is set up.

[Baionlenja]

Thanks for the update! I would love sandblast finish on the weight!

[ikarus214]

This.

[Furikurichemy]

Nice! Yeah +1 for the sandblast finish. Would the mirror polish be the chrome version or the gold version?

[wholypantalones]

+1 on the sandblasted weight

[Solotov]

Thanks for the update, Lin.

+1 for the sandblast weight too 
I think it looks better on Montage.

[NRbigfoot]

Also +1 to sandblasted weight over mirror polished

[Mcnos]

I would recommend maybe extending the sandblasting option to the plate as well?
 

[ilemondrop]

Looks like I'm fighting a lost cause, but I prefer mirror polished. Super clean looking.

Will you respond to the emails when you process any order changes sent to you? I've sent 2 emails now and no updates have been made to my order.

[Steezus]

My vote is on a sandblast finish. Still never received an answer on whether or not we will find out what the third color choice will be before the deadline to change orders. I just hope it isn't that rose gold finish from the prototype picture that was shared.

GB organizers limit their product and play form filling race games. Slot buyers spend the $$ to buy the slot... but yes, its the resellers 'ruining the community' lol

[dantambok]

GB runners dont really have a choice other than to limit their runs. Else they end up with a load of boards to QC which would essentially be a nightmare. Especially if it's a 1 or 2 man team

People who buy slots just to sell at a profit are like ticket scalps outside concerts. They’re the only ones who are being ****s here. Can’t do much about that though.

[futurecrime]

Also, +1 for sandblasted weight.

[infamousvincci]

Does that mean that i lost my slot because someone bought it directly from the manufacturer?

Just curious how the back end works. I moved on already but just wabt to know.

No, it means someone won a slot, and then re-sold that spot for said xxx price.

What would you have gb runners do? Increasing the number of orders will inevitably increase lead time or decrease quality, or both.

I've never gotten involved in the resell game, nor do I think reselling is bad, so I don't think runners need to do anything. If these runners/designers want to one-man-job the whole thing, which I'm assuming has everything to do with either maximizing profits or keeping the exclusivity hype or both, and therefore limit sale numbers because of it, by all means do so. ****, even if it's some pride thing that you can do everything by yourself with no help, go for it. But that's the stem of the "issue" of reselling, for those that think reselling is so damn criminal. That and the people willing to drop 2x+ the price. If you want to kill reselling, make everything widely available and/or don't buy @ resell prices. Screeching at people selling spots does nothing lol

I get that re-selling for 2-3x price is outrageous but its the nature of a hobby like this. Go ahead cry about it, it's your right.

You can argue that the same thing affects other hobbies as well. Mice, Sneakers, Stamps..etc

Only way to kill reselling is to convince the entire community to sell at a decent price or make it widely available, only the latter is plausible to a degree.

Hell, even group buy runners themselves sell their own product for twice the cost of group buys sometimes, I know Matrix was selling his 2.0 for a while on mm at above 1k prices.

If any item has "collectors value" on it, there will be a variable on the actual price sold.

I think that's totally fair. Personally I don't have a big problem with high aftermarket prices; In the end it's just a keyboard, and nobody will die if they don't get to have it. There will always be more groupbuys in the future while demand persists, and having a limited supply keyboard makes it feel more special imo.

I 100% agree that heavily limited boards are more special and attractive

[kconfire]

Another +1 for sandblasted option. 

[Dreamre]

I am good with either as long as it has PVD coating!

[nathanchere]

+1 for sandblasted weight option!

+1 for raw sandblasted finish on the entire case

[kekstee]

Why is sandblast so popular? I'm actually undecided. Shiny and pvd coated seems like a nice option to look a little bit different than all the other boards out there. Please not raw.

[LEEHYOBIN]

All the invoice are sent out.

Please check and let me know if any issue or things need to be fixed.

Payment due date is 8th of Nov.
Please pay before then and all the unpaid invoice will be cancelled.

Thank you very much!

[wholypantalones]

Paid. Is the order list posted somewhere? I'm not seeing in the first post any more.
