1. No
2. I'll hit you up some time, let's go bowling or something.

Can I come with?

[Delirious]

Will there be odd bars for split boards such as VE.A, LZ Ergo,...?

Included in the Planck set is a 2.75u blank for the VE.A. There's also a 2u spacebar for the Planck in there, which will work with VE.A.
It's something

You'd think signing all my important posts as Jessica would make it clear...

Dear Brazzers

i only hope ,

[Rayoui]

Looking forward to this. These colors look great!

[wodan]

So, I considered doing this but this set is already over 160 keys, with 2 custom colours. The set is already big, and I'm pretty sure adding more keys would make it exceptionally costly.
I'd do a separate buy for it, but I just don't expect 250 sets to be paid for.

I have to admit I didn't check the full thread but couldn't find any info about any potential international add-on kits. Is there anything planned?

I hope it isn't too much trouble to pick one of the existing GMK international kits and get a render from GMK in the Plum color scheme to offer it as an optinal add-on kit for the drop. This color scheme has the potential to reach numbers that can also tip an international kit!

The GMK Carbon international is a "full" international kit while the ISO essentials I have presented here before are a slim approach with a little bit of compromise.

Please apologize if this has been adressed before ...

If you don't want to deal with this but generally like the idea, I can assemble an international kit, send it in to GMK and deal with any questions they have to the point where you just have to approve it and provide it to Massdrop.

[LogicLoop]

 The renders provided show the entirety of the caps. UK ISO is included, but not other variants.

[satricion]

Took me a while to warm to these colours but I just got an email from massdrop about the impending drop and I've concluded that this is gonna be a gorgeous set. Great job, looking forward to it.

[LogicLoop]

Yep, although I've been waiting for this set for a while: and I think the price is great for a GMK set with custom colours.

[need]

If it wasn't named after a fruit that I absolutely hate, I might be all in for this set... Shame that I can't unsee it now

[polentA]

Lol the name alone is reason to not buy it?? Plums are hella good tho.

[jebbra]

Is there that much VE.A owner out there? Or is it because the one who owns VE.A will be the one who "can" buy more keys? I intend no offense, just curious because VE.A is always mentioned in the IC phase here and there but I rarely see them even on r/mm. Well it's spacebar fit MiniVan tho in the end.

its just a 2.75u spacebar, works with everything else, just ve.a is common enough to say

Any chance we can get this on the road?

As long as we can launch this while the base kit is still on sale, people can get their orders in ...

How does the Massdrop model handle orders coming from Germany or within the EU?

Does GMK ship to Massdrop then the keys take a round trip back to Germany?

Yes it's crazy, but what about this hobby isn't? 

GMK factory is an hour from my place, can you imagine how I feel about this?

I'm in BW and more than willing to co-ordinate all the DE orders - I honestly think it's costing us 1000's of EUR collectively on tax and shipping and more crucially the risk of damage through transport.

If they are being shipping via trays then surely the ability to leave a few aside is feesible...

[wodan]

This is a fundamental misunderstanding. ANY order GMK ships to a location within the EU will be receive a 19% German VAT added on top.

When shipping to the US and back, the customs office will collect these 19% ... they are un-avoidable!

Some countries might have handling fees for customs, those could really be save but that will never be close to thousands of dollar ...

Guys, Massdrop is a company, not a charity. Why would they intentionally lose sales by letting EU buyers split off into their own GB?

I'm not proposing a separate GB or co-ordinate the entire EU, just DE. I don't mind making my payment towards MD. There are two clear benefits for DE buyers, that being less time spent in transport and an additional re-entry tax. Heck - I'm even willing to make a bulk order of 10 sets and take the collateral risk myself if that would grant me some leeway and help out people in DE - after all this is what this  community is about.

Just going to nip this in the bud, right here and now so people don't get their hopes up or anything:
There is zero chance of an EU and / or DE group buy, shipping assistance, or anything of the sort. Sorry, but that's the way the cards fall.

Have you even read my reply?

There is no such thing as a re-entry tax. You just don't understand how VAT works!

Shipping to MASSDROP outside the EU is TAX FREE for GMK

Shipping to anyone INSIDE the EU is TAXABLE

When Massdrop ships back to the EU, the TAX is collected. There is NO legal way to avoid this tax!!!!

Vielleicht nochmal auf Deutsch?

Kein Wunder, dass niemand Bock auf ein International Kit hat wenn es von EU Käufern jedes Mal das Lamentiere wegen der Einfuhrsteuer gibt. Ob ihr die als MWST oder Einfuhrsteuer zahlt macht keinen Unterschied!

[tkim]

Ja klar, schieß drauf.

Und ich habe deine nachricht auf dem Deskthority gelesen.

[h3xadat]

Was passiert hier?

Oblotzky hat natürlich recht. Massdrop ist ein gewinnorientiertes Unternehmen. Dass GMK Plum über Massdrop vertrieben wird, hatte ich bei meiner Antwort aus dem Fokus verloren. Aber unabhängig davon und unabhängig von der steuerlichen Behandlung halte ich es grundsätzlich für eine gute Idee, dass Waren, die in der Nähe produziert werden, nicht erst um den gesamten Globus verschifft werden müssen, um mich zu erreichen.

Keep calm.

[tofgerl]

Why the germaning?

[tjcaustin]

This is me pulling my head out of the sand.  I like this.  Good support, good colors, decent price.

Here's to a good sale.

Cheers, mate It's always so... satisfying, I guess is the word, for when someone likes what I've made.

[a_ak57]

I've looked at the pictures for this set so many times and I still can't tell if I like it or not.  The colors on their own aren't ones I normally care for but I can't tell if I like the resulting combo/the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, or if it's really just some triple strength dislike.  Maybe I'd be able to tell if the renders were of white/light grey keyboards, dunno.

[TalkingTree]

What's the price again?

[jessica]

What's the price again?

Initial drop points are 250 units / $139.99 - 500 units / $129.99

Gets cheaper at 1k too but dunno what it'll be yet

[TalkingTree]

Alright, thanks.

[Chaosti]

Just popped in for a quick look and wow, the color scheme immediately called out to me. Next Tuesday can't come fast enough!

[gsalzano88]

Likely going to be the first GB I join, thanks for bringing this to life Brazzers!

[jal]

Just wanted to say I love the design - really thoughtful and pleasing. Looking forward to it.

If you have a VAT identification number, it doesn't need to be yours, GMK will not add the vat. So you save 19% VAT.

It starts tomorrow Brazzers, so I hope everything goes to plan here  .

There is going to be some serious GMK Gaping here, immense joy and pleasure for all on the 14th    .

[wodan]

That's outright VAT fraud!

There are mechanisms in place to detect such behaviour. By participating in this EU VAT simplification process, you confirm that you are purchasing the product(s) AS A COMPANY and will register them with your local, national tax authorities. When you sell these items AS A COMPANY you would be required to charge the VAT to customers.

When GMK finds out you have been buying items with a fake VAT number, they will probably have to report you to avoid being charged with VAT fraud ...

This.

Also if you would be buying as a company, you won't need to pay VAT even if you purchase from massdrop, as the VAT part of the purchase can be deducted in its entirety from sales tax from that year.

[Elrick]

That applies to every business no matter where you are located.  Certain purchases are done by myself through the accounts department depending upon what the items are, so as to not attract the attention of our accountants.

As long as the books are correct/equal then no need to worry about any purchases done this way  .

Please don't commit tax fraud, the legal system tends to frown upon that sort of thing.
