Good condition G81-8K doubleshots. Keep in mind the spacebar, win, ctrl, alt, and menu keys are not compatible with most MX boards. This issue can be solved by purchasing a moogle set, and/or purchasing doubleshot ctrl and alt keys from EK and a spacebar from Ivan's spacebar GB, which would work for everything except the windows key. Apart from that its a full 104 set. Boards will be these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181381318456
Pricing: $35 each, with or without keyboard
Shipping: Final prices will be arranged later, these are general pricings.
If purchasing the whole entire keyboard:
$18 CONUS (via large flat rate box) for every 2 boards
Int-Just don't do it, it'll be more than the boards are worth. But PM me if you really want them
If just the caps:
$6 CONUS for two sets(via 2 day priority small flat rate box)
$13 CONUS for up to 6 sets (medium flat rate box)
$15 INT for up to two sets (first class mail)
Above that I will tell you in PM how much shipping will cost
FORM:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1aZUOyC8JNIrwyttnkeyrp-qU-VWtx-RYFDvUrUCs3Go/viewform?usp=send_form
There will be only 15 orders for now. After the initial run, 3 extras will be available for purchase at the GB price. These are not available right now as a safety net in case of any damage.

Ordered one set and can proxy EU orders if you want to :)

Is this $35 regardless of whether or not you want the board? (Only difference in price between board and no board is shipping price?)

$35 board or no board. If you want the board (god knows why you need MY switches) you pay extra shipping.
-
i can't find what kind of switches they are

They are MY. MY feels like ****, and I doubt anyone wants one. So far all 9 orders have been sans board
-
9/15, 6 spots left. Invoices will probably go out tonight for the people who already ordered.
-
Will you be able to deliver these within the 45 day paypal dispute window?
-
Will you be able to deliver these within the 45 day paypal dispute window?
Most likely. 1-2 weeks for delivery to me, 1 week tops to strip the caps, two weeks for delivery, so 35 days, which leaves a 10 day buffer

You should throw in the PS/2 cable to whomever orders just caps. It detaches easily from the board and could be useful to people who want to do conversions (or are pack rats) and shouldn't change shipping much if at all...
-
pack rats
Guilty as charged :))

Yeah, I'm looking for a few of these PS/2 cables (from what I can tell they're the coiled purple ones). If you could sell a few of the mint condition ones for cheap it'd help DIYers and custom board assemblers.

Boards bought from seller and invoices sent. 11/15 slots taken, 4 left.

So did I miss in the OP where it said there was a $3 group buy fee?
I know your doing a 'service' and all but come on your making $10 off the top already. ???

Paid.

Chargebacks incoming due to profiteering...
LOL. Just kidding. I charged similar prices last year for just NIB caps when i bought a bunch of these NOS boards (mainly for the correct profile nav cluster, compared to the 1800 DS). But then again, I fronted all the money myself, and didn't sell some of not so great DS sets or the POM sets. I had a slight loss, but didn't care because i got what i wanted...

Well when the OP says the price is $35 plus $6 shipping, I expect the price to be $41 not $44 (I know it's only $3 but, perhaps pacifist should update the OP to note there is a $3 group buy fee.)
Most people who run group buys don't do it to make money and they usually lose a little (not that they should) and by my count the boards cost him $406 +$65 shipping which comes to $471 for 19 boards is ~$25 a board. Now granted there might be a dud board or two, even dividing the $471 by the 15 he is 'selling' comes to $31.40 and the USPS boxes will be free and the small flat rate is $5.25 and I know there is money for ink, labels and his time but he says he will have 3 sets later which I'm sure will be higher priced which will make up even more of that cost. The way i see it is right now he will get a free set of caps and ~$100 at least.

I didn't spend anything on printing labels, since I just hand wrote them. I'm sure he's just a broke teenage squirrel trying to make a nut. LOL

I just paid the invoice. I was a little surprised about the unmentioned fee too.
As Spamray explained there is already enough buffer for you for unexpected things, but whatever...
TO THE OTHER INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
Anybody wants to combine shipping with me?

I ordered some stuff to Switzerland, But i guess Germany to Switzerland is almost the same price wise as from US. But if I can save a couple of bucks then we can work something out.

What did you order? The OP says that 2 sets can be shipped in one parcel.
I just ordered one so there should be space for more stuff.
I could ship a full set in a padded envelope to you for ~4€ (~6€ with tracking) - that's cheaper than 15$ :)
-
I rarely have to do this but I had to cancel my order.

I ordered 2 sets... So it is worth it if more people join us. Anyone wants to join?
-
Seller has shipped the boards in 3 batches, estimated arrival date of Tue. Apr. 22 - Mon. Apr. 28
I rarely have to do this but I had to cancel my order.
No problem, just cancel the invoice.

Arrange who you want to ship everything to and PM me and I will change the peoples invoices who are affected.

I'll weigh the cable later today (I have my own MY8K's) and if its light enough, it'll be included in your order. You can wait until friday to pay.

If you use small flat rate boxes it's not going to be a difference in shipping.

That was mainly about international shipping because I don't know if MythicalWagyu is in CONUS or international. Also, I 'm sure that the cable would fit in a box for 1 set, but for two, I'm not entirely sure, so I need to test that too

Late to the party but paid up.

May I know how many sets are left? Am ibterested :)

Sweet, sounds good - submitting order! (I'm CONUS btw)

Are you interested in combining our orders to save shipping costs?

That's fine by me. I just want the caps :)

Coffee is still kicking in this morning and I can't remember if I submitted the form already or not, so if you get two orders from me it's my mistake, I just meant to send in one :))
-
As of right now there are 16 orders. MythicalWagyu, I will send you your invoice once all the other orders are shipped and there are no problems with the first 15 boards. b7ad and jaccow will get an invoice later today.

Work out proxying between each other and I will update invoices then.

Yes Sir!
Just invoice Jaccow for the caps only and I will work out the details with him :thumb:
-
That's fine. Looking forward to seeing these. :)
-
I will change the invoice once I go somewhere with a more secure internet connection.
-
If you have leftover PS/2 cables how much are you looking to get for them?
-

I'm not sure. Once the boards arrive and I access them I will decide then. People who ordered caps get first dibs on cables. Most likely I will donate whatever amount the extra cables go for to GH
-
Okay Jaccow's invoice has been changed. I will ship Jaccow's order with LechnerDE's, and LechnerDE will send Jaccow's 1 set of doubleshots to him.
-
I paid.
-
are these sets with the complete numberpad? if yes please someone PM me if he can sell me the numberpad, thanks.

These have complete numberpads and all keys are the same as regular MX.
-
lewi cancelled his 4 orders, so MythicalWagyu gets an invoice and there are 3 slots left
-
Are the keyboards on their way to you? When do you expect to ship them?
-
All paid sir, thank you!
-
Just to clarify, this is not really a group buy. You paid $406 + $65 (shipping) = $471 for the lot. Divide by 19 keyboards, and that's $24.80 per board SHIPPED. You are reselling them at $35 each PLUS shipping, PLUS an additional fee it looks like (and shipping could be less when paid on-line) making a good bit of profit in the process. This belongs in the Classifieds, and you need to have the boards on hand with photographs posted.
This thread will be moved to the Classifieds when you can provide that.
-
Ok, boards have arrived and I am taking pictures and packaging stuff. Stripping boards of caps takes a long time.....
I will notify everybody via PM when their order is shipped.
photoelectric, ygpm
-
anybody that don't need the numberpad and only using the caps for TKL board pm me, wouldn't mind buying the number pad
-
All european orders will ship tomorrow. All US orders will ship on Monday. On Monday I will create a classifieds post for whatever slots are left and the extras
