You guys asked for it, and here it is! A few months later than promised...but still haha, Round 2 of Aristotles! 

One big difference in R2 is the change of vendors due to them not standing up to their promises of giving me better prices for a R2 of the GB.   
I know the prices however, is higher than what it was in R1 but this is to account for the customs fees/taxes as well as service charges that had not been accounted for in R1. 

ORDER FORM: https://goo.gl/forms/eQ7XmzcufvfolI092
= = = = =
Info on the switches: 

- Plate Mounted only
- Housing is old/brittle, so reusing the stems/springs or making mods is HIGHLY recommended.
- The switches are NEW OLD STOCK, they are not brand new, they are not clones.
- There will be no minimum order per person. Order as little as you want, or order as much as you want.     
= = = = =
All pricing are in USD

PRICING:
   
$0.35 cents per switch
Price drop to $0.33 cents per switch at 5,000 switches

SHIPPING:
USA - $5 (first class) or $7+ priority)   
Canada - $9   
International - Varies by Country/Location (PM me for exact shipping quote)   
= = = = = 
Estimated Timeline:

- Group Buy: Run for 10 days. Start June 4, 2017 until June 27, 2017
- Invoicing/Payment: Invoices will go out once the forms are closed. Payment deadline will be June 30, 2017 
- Ordering with Vendor: Order will be placed on July 1st.
- Delivery to my address: Estimated to arrive by July 14
- Shipping Prep: Depending on amount of orders, assume I will take about 1-3 days packaging.
- Delivery to your address: USA should be 1-5 business days, Canada & International around 7-14 business days. (Depends on location)

I've read about them but just to confirm, these are all clicky switches right?
They are no tacticle or linear Aristotles around. Right?

No problem, and thank you for replying. It was a rather dumb question.

I'm sorry if what I'm about to show will ruin this GB (if it does), but I have to ask.
Why we should buy it here instead of Aliexpress?:

Maybe what I've found are not Aritotles?...

Not a problem, I have nothing against people not choosing to join my GB and I was very transparent on that fact in my R1 GB.

I never actually saw that listing before, but personally (for myself) I probably wouldnt buy from them purely because of their lack of order history (being just 1) and also because there are no product details (just their advertisement)

But as I have said in my previous R1 and I will still say so now, if people prefer to, or feel safer to buy from Taobao or Aliexpress, I defintitely welcome and encourage them to take that route! Seriously!

I would rather people feel safer about their purchase than just simply join my GB, just cause.

But thank you for sharing that link! I may have to keep my eye on that...just in case its legit, so that if they are, maybe i can contact them for even lower pricing than the vendor I have now.
