R4 Cherry profile, seller said he has them in stock, but did not mention how many. The listing shows less than 10 for each.

32 cents each.

Cherry MX Clear:

24 cents each.

Cherry MX Red:

OTHER MX SWITCHES:
the seller from above has a huge selection of switches, some of which I've never heard before, if you scroll down you can see some pictures and a table of them with prices. Some colors we can do cheaper options using the links I posted above, but in case you guys are interested in other strange switches here they are (translated to the best of my ability)
pictures imgur mirror: http://imgur.com/a/4po9d
the conversion rate between dollar and yuan is 6.15
link: http://shop61468792.taobao.com/?spm=2013.1.0.113.y8x5PO

常见轴体    (common)         稀有轴体     (rare)               类樱桃轴 (other, savaged from keyboards)

全新黑轴(black)----2.5元/颗    全新绿轴(green)---------25元/颗    拆机台湾白轴 (Taiwan clear/white ???)-----1元/颗

全新青黑(blue black?)----2.5元/颗    全新无段落灰轴(non tactile gray)---25元/颗    拆机台湾黑轴(Taiwan black)-----1元/颗

全新红轴(red)----2.5元/颗    全新有段落灰轴(tactile gray)---28元/颗    拆机world灰轴 (world gray)----1元/颗

全新茶轴(brown)----2.5元/颗    全新蓝轴(dark blue)---------28元/颗    拆机紫金黄轴 (purple golden yellow?) -----9元/颗

全新焦茶轴(dark brown?)----5元/颗

全新奶白轴(white)----8元/颗

全新白轴(clear)------5元/颗



If there is enough interest we can perhaps do a group buy for this? Will be using a taobao agent and all the items shipped to a proxies in the US/other countries then distributed. Shipping is quite expensive but it's switches so they don't weight THAT much.

thoughts?

As much as I like the Totoro caps, I really have a huge issue with them.  That's the design that Keypop made for their run of doubleshots that they were going to do that got cancelled.  I have a huge problem with someone taking his artwork from a group buy that we were supposed to have and profiting off of it.

Those other switches you have in the Imgur link look like a bunch of Cherry knock off switches.

And if you want to buy solo, it's not too bad if you use Bhiner and have it shipped with no extra packaging and HK Airmail (small packet).

This^ I've ordered keycaps, switches, and other things from Bhiner several times; it's cheap and professional imo. Also, I believe that vendor is out of stock of the clears despite showing 931 in stock  :p

Yes, me and a few others scooped these up a month or two ago and they were only 17 cents (plus shipping x two and fee) each then (see photo below).
We even posted about these being available on the forums, but I believe all three vendors are out of clears despite it saying 931 in stock. Give it a try I guess  :p

wow that's lame. screw that guy then... thx for the Bhiner rec, I'll try them the next time I buy something from Taobao.
looks like there is a lot of interests for clears, I'm gonna see if I can find another seller for them also at a low price.

there is a picture on his site of the real Cherry yellow switch, but the ones for sale above are fake ones. You can see the no cherry logo on the switch and tinlong asked the seller about them in the past for me and was told they are fake yellow's for sale
