Prices are for (EACH INDIVIDUAL):
All keycaps are available in all colors shown above
$16.00 for the Squirrel (KBT) Keycaps
$16.00 for BLANKS (not shown)
$18.50 for the Engraved Skulls

As of NOW, I will be accepting payments for KEYCAP ORDERS ONLY as the shipping prices have yet to be determined.

Please gift payments to ekw808@gmail.com, nobody wants to pay fees...

The end date is scheduled for 5/5. There will be no changes in price, Vortex has concluded that this will be the going price regardless of order quantity.

Lead times for these keycaps are 4-5 weeks after the end of the groupbuy. Orders of 100-200 keycaps should take around 20 days, 250 would take around 4 weeks.

SHIPPING:
These will be mailed to me from Singapore, and I will mail them out individually to the members here in the U.S. in bubble mailers with delivery confirmation.
Shipping cost is $6.00 for CONUS, $8.00 for International

International Shipping: http://forums.vr-zone.com/mass-order-forum/2120441-aluminium-keycaps-revised.html
Depending on how many international orders there are, it may be beneficial to have another proxy as this was mainly targeted for CONUS. If there are only a few international orders, I wouldn't mind shipping out to you guys as long as the costs are bearable.
PM me your orders in the following manner, and I will compile a spreadsheet with the corresponding orders.

PLEASE PM ME ALL ORDERS, THEY ARE SENT DIRECTLY TO MY EMAIL, AND WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY GH ROLLBACKS

Only blue squirrel left?

Edit: also is that the price for each key cap or for a set? It's a little bit confusing. lol

Djuzuh · « **Reply #3 on:** Thu, 26 April 2012, 11:20:39 »

I think the order at the bottom was an example order.

EDIT: what about international shipping?

ekw808 · « **Reply #4 on:** Thu, 26 April 2012, 11:22:58 »

Sorry, updated a little bit.

How many colour do they've left anyway?

ekw808 · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 26 April 2012, 11:32:26 »

These are not made yet, the orders are being tallied and then made after the groupbuy I believe.

nokcha · « **Reply #9 on:** Thu, 26 April 2012, 11:46:17 »

Are there price tiers?

No price tiers

Thought this would sell like hotcakes

reaper · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 26 April 2012, 18:21:52 »

Not at that price! ><

If they were like 3 - 4 bucks a piece then I'd take 10. lol

ekw808 · « **Reply #14 on:** Thu, 26 April 2012, 18:22:53 »

Nothing I can do about that =/, it's msrp from Vortex

I know.. I know.. I didn't say it was you now, did I? =P

ekw808 · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 26 April 2012, 18:26:27 »

I wanted to buy like 10 of these, but having already a few from Feng's and then a few here, it's just too expensive.

demik · « **Reply #17 on:** Thu, 26 April 2012, 18:31:07 »

Yeah after the dust settles you're looking at like 20 shipped for one keycap.

ekw808 · « **Reply #18 on:** Thu, 26 April 2012, 18:32:49 »

But it's only 19.99 if you buy 2

demik · « **Reply #19 on:** Thu, 26 April 2012, 18:50:54 »

:rofl: are you channeling RCT???

mkawa · « **Reply #20 on:** Fri, 27 April 2012, 01:24:48 »

OP Update

Djuzuh · « **Reply #25 on:** Tue, 01 May 2012, 09:14:32 »

It was a known problem ripster.

See:

Quote

Please notice that these zinc keycaps would fit very tightly, there's no solution so far due to the mold of producing these keys.

But since those alu keycaps aren't molded, there shouldn't be any problem.

The_Ed · « **Reply #26 on:** Wed, 02 May 2012, 21:43:19 »

PM'd for 2x Black squirrels

The_Ed · « **Reply #27 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 15:07:49 »

How many caps is this up to? If there are too few will the price be increased? I'd also like to know how much I should add on for shipping so I can pay like a few others apparently already have.

ekw808 · « **Reply #28 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 15:40:47 »

You can purchase as many caps as you want, the prices will hold where they are regardless of order quantity. You can just pay for the keycaps now, and I will charge the shipping when the groupbuy is over since the shipping from Singapore fee will be divided among all the buyers.

The_Ed · « **Reply #29 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 15:44:55 »

Since this ends in 2 days I'll just wait for the final price with shipping fee to pay.

ekw808 · « **Reply #30 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 15:54:27 »

Sounds good, I just hope it doesn't take days to collect payments from people, which will prolong the production of the keycaps =/.

ekw808 · « **Reply #31 on:** Sun, 06 May 2012, 19:57:12 »

rollbacks suck

The_Ed · « **Reply #32 on:** Sun, 06 May 2012, 20:10:31 »

Weren't there 11 people before and now there's 9?

ekw808 · « **Reply #33 on:** Sun, 06 May 2012, 20:12:21 »

Yea, people dropped out

The_Ed · « **Reply #34 on:** Sun, 06 May 2012, 20:32:11 »

So only Boost has yet to pay? How many caps were ordered in total?

ekw808 · « **Reply #35 on:** Sun, 06 May 2012, 20:41:27 »

He dropped out as well =/ there were only like 20 keycaps ordered. I paid for them already, and production should begin soon.

The_Ed · « **Reply #36 on:** Fri, 18 May 2012, 18:13:14 »

Squirrels have humongous testicles... You'd think it would hurt the way they drag their sack along the ground...

Are the aluminum squirrels shipping to you yet? It's been forever...

jchangy510 · « **Reply #37 on:** Wed, 23 May 2012, 09:21:16 »

anymore of these left?

Djuzuh · « **Reply #38 on:** Wed, 23 May 2012, 09:22:21 »

maybe some of the people who ordered them will resell them.

But I don't think that you can still order.

The_Ed · « **Reply #39 on:** Wed, 23 May 2012, 17:41:09 »

I won't be selling either of my black squirrels when I get them. After this round is shipped I'm sure somebody could start up a second round.

longweight · « **Reply #40 on:** Wed, 23 May 2012, 18:17:45 »

I would be interested in a full aluminium set GB!

The_Ed · « **Reply #41 on:** Wed, 23 May 2012, 19:16:04 »

Be prepared to go broke.

longweight · « **Reply #42 on:** Thu, 24 May 2012, 01:19:48 »

I am

if anyone has a blank key to sell, pm me.

The_Ed · « **Reply #43 on:** Fri, 25 May 2012, 21:17:37 »

The wait for the aluminum squirrels is killing me... And the fleshy squirrels too as there have been a lot of dead ones on the road recently...

And I STILL can't find a titanium spacebar with the cherry offcenter-mount... I'm willing to go deep into my pocket for that one...

The_Ed · « **Reply #44 on:** Fri, 01 June 2012, 01:58:15 »

I'm too impatient for groupbuys... I'm too used to ordering things and getting them in a few days... It's been a month, but that's an eternity in squirrel time...

How much longer do I have to wait? Another 3 weeks?

Marclgw will get the keys next weak. After that he will ship them to ekw808, who'll ship them to you.

So I'd eyeball about 2-3 weaks. More if they used a cheap sending option.

Thanks for the heads up. But how do you know this? Was it posted somewhere else?

URGENT BAD NEWS:

Due to the low order quantity for SKULL keycaps, the orders are not able to go through.

ONLY KBC logo or blank keycaps will be available this round.

Necessary refunds using Paypal upon shipping and confirmation of purchase.

Please allow me to make necessary changes and get this Group Buy through ASAP.

Djuzuh · « **Reply #49 on:** Sun, 10 June 2012, 09:06:45 »

I suppose it's not possible to order something else instead?
