What is Pick-A-Profile?:  Any number of SA Row 1, SA Row 3, or DSA are available in pairs (sets of 2). Buy as many pairs as you like in whatever profile you want, all in one Group Buy.

Color Codes:
BDH - Blue
RA   - Red
WA  - White
NN   - Black

+ Bonus Buy: ABS 1x1 SA Row 3 Blank Homing Keys (Deep Dish/Scoops) (Set of 2) - $4 USD available in Red and/or Blue and/or Black for $4 USD!

+ Bonus Buy: 1x1 SA Row 1 Blank Keys (Set of 2) available in Red and/or Blue and/or Black for $2 USD!


+ Bonus Buy: 1x1 SA Row 3 Blank Keys (Set of 2) available in Red and/or Blue and/or Black for $2 USD!


Pricing: $4 per set regardless of profile. Blank Homing keys are $4 per set; and Blank keys are $2 per set. Every order will have a $2 group buy fee. Shipping will still be $4 USD Shipped to US; $10 USD Shipped to Canada/Mexico; and $14 USD Shipped International (OCONUS).

For example, you buy one pair in each profile, and 2 Black Scoops = $12 + $4 + $2 (GB fee) + $4 (shipping to NYC) = $22 total.

No. First round of invoicing will be this coming Saturday Night/Sunday. I am doing them weekly. Too busy otherwise

***Update (3/12/2016): Orders are wide open! Invoicing for Pairs of Pills since it appears that there is minimal interest for blanks and scoops. If we don't reach an acceptable number of them, I may have to only invoice for the Pills. Many apologies should this happen...

Updated OP to reflect current GB numbers...scoops and blanks are not looking good at all...

Awwwww. Was wondering why it was missing from my invoice. I also notice you have the scoops listed as R1 instead of R3 in the tally. Not that it will matter?

Lol, I didn't even notice. Scoops are only made on row 3 anyways.

Thanks for letting me know about the tally...Not that it will matter much. I think everything outside of the Pill sets are a dud here... :-X

Calling all Redditors! Please help me promote this GB on any and all Matrix subreddits and even the Red Pill and Blue Pill subreddits. Who knows, maybe this will bring mechanicals awareness to the masses as well and add to our community at large!

Orders are dead...should I let this continue; or just pull the plug now and refund everyone? The numbers in the OP are current order count. 6 are unpaid currently, and 2 have cancelled outright. This GB appears to be a disaster...

That's a shame. As much as I hate to say it, I'd probably just pull the plug. I'm really surprised there isn't more interest here. Maybe 1.25 mods would be better? =/ idk

What type of numbers were you shooting for?

I don't know whether or not your use of "pull the plug" was an intentional reference, but I chuckled. A consolation prize, I suppose.

Well, at least 50 each...otherwise I lose my pants...

I cancelled/refunded all current and past invoices with my sincerest apologies. Matrix is old hat I guess...

I will allow a day or two for grieving here, but then...moving on...

Thanks to all for your continued support in 00Keys designs...we are hard at it to plan the next case of awesome!
