You could even just take pre-payment for the keys and then charge shipping at the time you ship.

From my **very** limited experience this seems to be a fairly common way of going about things and seems to keep everyone moderately happy.

If someone pays for the keys and then doesn't come through with the shipping costs then, in my opinion, after a reasonable period (3 months? 6 months?) you get to consider the keys as defaulting back to you and can either keep them or auction them off on GH or whatever seems right.

I don't think you should be shy of rounding things up a bit and getting a little bit of rounding error as your reward for your time being the organiser of the GB. I very much doubt you could ever make what your hours are worth at work and only the most childish of people really think people should work for free (or lose money as you seemed to have before).

If you are really squeamish about keeping the rounding-up errors then donate it to iMav for site upkeep or a charity of your choice or buy your partner or kid or whoever a little present to compensate for the time you spend on this you could have spent with them.

Extra key caps are total luxury items for those with spare cash and I am confident that most of us are very happy to pay a bit over the minimum to those who enable our habits in this regard.

Don't burn yourself out being so fair to others that you are unfair on yourself.

Anyway, peace and love and heaps of kudos for be a Group Buy organiser lysol

It looks like we are going to make it to the next price tier since we are pushing 50 per style, I need to doublecheck with SP and make sure I have the right pricing. No payments accept until I know for certain.

I've also pushed the order end date out a couple more days, so I have time to make sure everything is in order.

I would like to take 2 of each Poker key cap. Thanks a lot!

Spade x2
Diamond x2

Club x2

Are we going back to the black/red color way or sticking with the Poker colors?

oneproduct · « **Reply #104 on:** Mon, 13 February 2012, 10:34:51 »

Just realized that I didn't put my order down:

spade - 1
heart - 1
diamond -1
club - 1

Not sure if I'm suppose to send a PM to accompany this. Seems like you're just counting through the posts and PMs will come later when it's time to pay?

Put me down

Spade - 2

I'll trust you on your numbers. It's not very transparent. But I feel if you've made additional keys cost less than the first one + shipping, then we're at least alright. The thing was Ordering more than a couple felt like I was being overcharged on shipping. Plus if we're breaking a price break, The price doesn't make me feel bad for my wallet. Hitting 50 is big...almost 50% discount on the keys themselves (obv excluding shipping + legending fee). I reckon we can hit 75.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #106 on:** Mon, 13 February 2012, 14:35:45 »

New pricing will be $4.00 first key, $2.75 per additional key due to volume discount.

I'm sorry but I'm still not clear on what colors the legends will be since it was discussed at one point but I don't see a final decision mentioned in the thread.

Red/Black only or Poker coordinated?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #110 on:** Mon, 13 February 2012, 16:26:22 »

Sorry, I missed your question... Classic red and black on off white/light beige seems to be more wanted.

Yep, I'm definitely in now, I just need to run some numbers to see how many. This is going no be a good groupbuy I can tell.

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #116 on:** Mon, 13 February 2012, 20:16:34 »

Wow looks like we passed the minimum order quantity of 25 per key by quite a large margin (nearly double). Looks like prices are still the same though, so what quantity tier do we have to reach for it to be cheaper per key?

EDIT: oops, I didn't even noticed we already hit the next quantity tier so price already dropped

hazeluff · « **Reply #117 on:** Mon, 13 February 2012, 20:39:18 »

If we hit the next price tier I may get even more = 3

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #121 on:** Tue, 14 February 2012, 22:21:09 »

lysol, a suggestion: you should put payment instructions in the OP, so whoever wants it can just automatically order/pay, instead of PM'ing you for every payment and you giving instructions via PM to everyone. It would be easier for all buyers to pay via paypal, then in the paypal note section, put your forum name and what was ordered. That's how I did my group buy.

I'm ready to pay, I'm sure several others are too.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #122 on:** Tue, 14 February 2012, 22:55:30 »

I don't want my email to be out in a public view. PM is only one extra step, and it gives me another copy of the order.
I have my standard form PM all ready to go

Just because it wasn't really asked before, how do people feel about the pure white vs off-white/beige for the background color? I kind of like the pure white myself but apparently there are other sets which better match the off-white/beige.

I'm guessing these would be the stock caps on Filco and Leopold white keyboards, since the PBT caps from KBC seem to be pretty white. Would just be curious to see how many people are trying to match to an off-white set.

I'm fine with off-white but I like the pure white that was used in the Nyancat and novelty key (white lotus) group buys as well.

jonnybastard · « **Reply #131 on:** Fri, 17 February 2012, 06:53:38 »

I'd rather a more pure white myself, to match the KBC white poker keycaps from iMav's group buy that are oh so nearly here. Still ok with an off white though..

hazeluff · « **Reply #132 on:** Fri, 17 February 2012, 07:06:56 »

I quite like the creamy white. But then again if I got myself a white cased board i'd like the pure white.

Quote from: lysol;508794

Yes they have a very white white, use it for legends at least on black keys etc... but I don't think it will match with as much sets out there as the off white/light beige color.

Not sure if you guys saw this.

Right, but that's why I'm asking. What sets are we trying to match to that are this same off white? Filco and Leopold white stock sets are pretty much not white at all, so it wouldn't match them that great either and considering that they're stock sets they might even be replaced. WASD's white is even more pure than SP's pure white.

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 40862[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 40863[/ATTACH]

Here's a PBT KBC white, which is not as pure white as SP's pure white. Is that Portal key the off white from SP? Looks a bit darker than the KBC, so it's a question of being lighter or darker.

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 40864[/ATTACH]

In any case, I was just wondering what exactly SP's off white is trying to match and how many people that are ordering are actually trying to match. I'm fine either way in the end, but all the whites that I have personally are pure white, so I have a little preference in that direction of course.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #135 on:** Fri, 17 February 2012, 12:18:17 »

I have no preference personally, so it is up to the general consensus. My thoughts were for the off white SP color WCK to be specific, as you say Filco, Leopold, and of course all of those vintage sets out there.

tsangan · « **Reply #136 on:** Fri, 17 February 2012, 13:51:47 »

Whats the next price break? 75 pcs?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #137 on:** Fri, 17 February 2012, 17:46:07 »

Orders close tomorrow, so I think we are set at current price. Just need to collect the rest of payments, and I will get order submitted.

Since my preference is more towards pure white than off white, I'm going to take up that general consensus argument to try to push things my way if I can. >:]

So far:
jonnybastard and I both voted for pure white
hazeluff voted for off white

Unfortunately I'm going to have to vote for off white since I have a Cherry doubleshot set coming in and I think it will be a better match.

I thought the argument against black was that it had been done before.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #147 on:** Sat, 18 February 2012, 12:57:56 »

How about grey then, it won't match anything but the upcoming retro set! I'm not serious. They are going to be on some white or another. All these nice people have paid for their keys expecting white.
If all of those PAID people would sound off on off white or pure white especially TaeYoung (has nearly half the order), that would be the way to go.
