Is there a reason why for the base kit € > $ but for the other kits € < $ ?
33€ is not less than 36$

But the base kit is more expensive

You guys don't seem to understand his question.

Base Kit: 110 EUR vs 100$, bigger EUR number than Dollar number.
Numpad: 33 EUR vs 36$, bigger Dollar number than EUR number.

He questions why the ratio is not roughly the same between all kits.

Because Americans don't pay sales tax unlike us euros. Hence why even accounting the extra shipping to the Americas it's less expensive. The joys of big government

Most Americans definitely pay sales tax (source: I am an American) and it varies by state the exclusions being Alaska, Delaware,Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon.

As to Oblotsky's point, if I had to guess the base kit's price is subsidizing the smaller kits.

VAT is percentage based, so that does not solve the riddle.

C’mon folks, few $£€₯ here or there doesn’t make much difference. The delta will be minimal. In for base + numpad. Wondering if Z man will offer this in SA in future now that it appears that SP has molds as seen in SA Laser IC.

The caps will be more or less the same as previous collabs with RAMA with the E-coated one will be slightly more expensive due to the finish.

Just for reference, I believe the pricing for the keycaps during the RAMAΧ Jamσn drop was $40 for the bacon one and $44 for the egg one if I'm not mistaken.

I own a bunch of GMK sets now and have never once bought off assdrop because I don't want to pay 20% duty + "handling fee" from Her Majesty's Royal Mail, and I'd bet my house on other ISO users feeling the same way. It's a different story when there are EU proxies.

Surely you can't believe there are more 40% users than ISO users..

One thing is the userbase (which is obviously in favor of ISO) and another thing is the subset of people interested on aftermarket keysets like GMK Striker.

damn you posted it before i could post it with the caption "this image says otherwise"
I own a bunch of GMK sets now and have never once bought off assdrop because I don't want to pay 20% duty + "handling fee" from Her Majesty's Royal Mail, and I'd bet my house on other ISO users feeling the same way. It's a different story when there are EU proxies.

accepted market rate for ISO use is ~7.8% according to the vendors i have asked about it

more than left handed guitars, at least

I understand that mech keyboards are much more popular in America - most people in the UK have no idea this weird and wonderful community exists. It's a shame though that more and more keyset designers are opting to cut ISO support altogether as it sets a dangerous precedent that will be a barrier to entry to future keeb enthusiasts in Europe.

And I bet the number of core kits for Jamon in that picture would not have changed much if ISO was included in the base and the kit was $10-$15 more expensive. That small price difference will not significantly impact the demand for limited run (read: limited supply) items like aftermarket keysets.

You forgot an M in Massdrop.

There's not really much a difference in sales when you set up proxies in the EU for the sets versus running a keyset through Massdrop, and it is roughly around 4% to 8% of the sales. And yes, any price increase on a kit impacts not only its sales, but more importantly the sales of some of the child deals, likes 40s.
