Hi all.  I am not sure if this is the correct thread,  but wanted to ask you all if you knew the names of these skulls?

Thank you in advance.

Veteran, Miz Kite, Salute, OG Tri, GH Tri, Jack O' Lantern.

Full mark on the clack knowledge test. Woohoo~

Thank you!!!  Right,  I am no officially in love with the Veteran and Miz Kite  ;D

Hands down, those have to be the top 6 sickest looking clacks. Isn't this Naasfu's pic?

Although, it would be even better if Noisy's Spumoni was there to.

That is indeed his pic,  I should have credited naasfu. Great pic.

I'll trade you my clementine and mustard skulls for those two bro

[whizzard]

Sorry for being a noob... but what is an "OG" clack?  I see it from time to time referenced and I have no idea. 

Also, is the value basically based on how many colors it has, like the solid colors are worth less than a clack with a color along with the white or grey or whatever skull?  Or is it based on age?  Just curious, thanks... I am just guessing more color = more value, but not really sure.

OG Tri is the black base, white face, red eyes clack skull (it's bottom left in the picture of the six clacks above).

That's the OG Tri-Color Clack.  Trigger warning for pricing of OG Tri at EK.  )

All else equal (equal rarity), you are correct.  Ultimately, value of Clacks is a combination of rarity and number of colors.  A great example is the 3D Clack, which is technically a tri-color, but it valued equal to a Mint Gum and HO due to its prevalence.

[whizzard]

That one you linked is really sweet... does clack factory ever make more OG's or was that a one time thing?  Are there only like 50 known caps or something?  Thanks for the fast replies!

 )   Yep.  I remember talking to someone who said their wife thought they were crazy for spending $16 on a keycap.  And now it's worth $300.

I haven't seen any appear since then.  He tends to make new colorways a lot, rather than remake previous ones (excepting holidays/themes), but I could be wrong about the OGs.  And I don't think anyone knows exactly how many (other than maybe EK), or at least no one will share that.

Can someone tell me the approximate value of these keys?

Just wondering if they are super expensive or worth going after.

Where does the Vader Clack sit on the trade value scale? Tough to not sound like I may be getting one and I may want to trade it, but I haven't even seen it yet and might want to keep it for a layout I have, either way it would appear on my classifieds if I did trade it, but I digress... any thoughts on value compared to other bi/tri color clacks?

Not sure I trust sold prices so much (eg: Single Color sells for US $284.00 on eBay), I was really asking for where everyone sees it on the trade food chain, so if for example (hypothetically speaking) I was going to trade for it, would I give up any old single color clack, a bi color, or maybe a tri color?

Just so you remember there are fakes of this so I highly recommend you see backside pictures of it before hand to avoid disappointment :X As for the value I will leave that to others

[Synjin]

Normally they have been traded out here or sold for $200 to fellow GHers if I recall it correctly. You can probably get a trip color on the lowe r end but it would be a bit difficult depending on the cap and the owner. (Some users night decline a Vader trade for their drunken skull bi color)

  flattered you have had a look at my classifieds Mr... I am still wanting them White and Grey gasmasks... but I wouldn't trade a Vader for them though (if I had one), so don't get any ideas

To add to price discrepancy,  the Vader went for 195 and a tri went for 90... Suggesting two tri skulls to a Vader?  So given below discussions, were the tri clacks cheap or Vader expensive?

tri clacks were really cheap. they usually go for 300 usd +

[DanielT]

Those prices were more than fair, I would love to see more CC's go for fair prices and get used by people than seeing inflated ones end up in hoarders collections. I cap must be used and enjoyed not tossed in a box

Anyways, I'll continue my at cost tirade and continue to only buy and sell at or damn near cost.

How is it 'reddit' that's driving up prices? There's just as much people selling at marked up prices on GH than on reddit, please dont bash reddit just because of a few users letting reddit down. This is why 2 communities can't exist, because each just tries to 1up each other, and it's getting annoying, can't we all just play nice for once?

[nubbinator]

I've mostly seen ridiculous prices in /r/mechmarket.  Most the people in here who put them on sale for ridiculous prices get called out and the eBay auctions get mocked. My point was that that person on Reddit was a **** for backing out of the deal due to dollar signs in their eyes, not bashing a community as a whole.  All I stated was that it appears that most of the price inflation appears to be due to Reddit.  For example, I was pissed when I saw some of my early caps being sold for 3x what I sold them for with shipping and shipping wasn't even included in the price. 

Most of the hate seems to come from r/mk though.  I'm fine with them, just not the vitriol toward GH I see so often.  Anything regarding Clacks tends to include a few statements: 1. "Geekwhackers" are retarded idiots and 2. Counterfeiting is okay and should be supported.

Alos, have you been in r/mk lately?  Anything regarding Clacks tends to include a few statements: 1. "Geekwhackers" are retarded idiots and 2. Counterfeiting is okay and should be supported.

I am on both reddit and geekhack. All I care about is great keyboard content, not counterfeiting and calling geekhackers geekwhackers. There are plenty of people on here that do auctions via PM (that have contacted me - agreed a price, then backed out because someone offered them more), aswell as on /r/mechmarket. Price inflation occurs because of ebay if anything. I understand that you feel upset because a cap you made sold for more $, as its your work being sold and you making no return, however that doesn't 'justify' () saying it's 'reddit's' fault, it's just 1 user. You never know, that guy might be a popular guy on GH that just uses reddit to keep his identity hidden, you never know these days. I know that's probably not the case but it's not reddits fault for that. Why should you get upset that you are all called geekwhackers? You shouldn't care really, it's just a name, afterall.


I dont want to rant as this isnt the right place to do so but I just hate it when redditors get all the flack for problems not directly/indirectly caused by it. We/them are people too

I am that ****, and let it be known that I backed out of nothing. I was looking for a trade and have no interest in getting money for it.

Despite being the butt of the joke, I would love some valuation. I never intend to make a dollar off of this Clack, but I would love to be informed of whether or not I would be trading it fairly.

[naasfu]

f2 reds are one of the most common skulls.  they usually sell for $90-100... not $285.  they are a nice color though and have some variations in shade.

No, no, the number of holes corresponds with the number of defects.  One hole is color defect, two holes is an aesthetic defect.












I'm totally making **** up.

i'll believe anything that you say, nubbs. 

the seller told me these were "factory seconds" from CF, so it seems like these were sold via the F2 sales.  maybe someone who was actually around during that time would know.

This guy thinks you are u[set at people selling your caps exponentially higher because you are not making any profit on it. Good logic much?  He doesn't realize that you are against selling at severely inflated prices because of principle and not because of profit or w/e.

[noisyturtle]

Yeah F2's for like $60-100 reasonably, depending on whatever and stuff

I've been out of the keyboard business for a while, but atm I'm a bit money strapped, and I still have a 3D MX CC lying around. Can someone give me a valuation or maybe even an offer?
