Speaking of Sherry, have the problems with his past GB order fulfillment issues been addressed?

AFAIK he has fulfilled all past GBs.

I see and acknowledge that he has come a long way with his store and provide good customer service, but is GH's memory so short that we have all forgotten about his past GB dealings?

I'd appreciate if we could keep all discussion on Originative in the Originative Vendor Review thread.  :thumb:

Very few of the proposed "solutions" in this thread are reasonable. The only reasonable thing is what JD has already done: contact Racoon and request that he remove the listing and return the keyboard. This isn't a case of theft, it's a case of someone being an *******.

Promising to pay for something, then running off with it (and flipping it) - sounds like theft to me.

Unfortunately eBay doesn't much care what it sounds like -- they care about what can be proven. And sometimes they don't even care much about that.

PM exchange with TheFlyingRaccoon (01 May 2015): "Hey JD! Really sorry about that, I would be happy to send it back to you if necessary. From what I remember, Bunny gave it to me in a trade. I honestly did not realize it was yours or I owed someone for it. I don't have money to pay for it, in fact I really don't have any extra money right now and I was trying to sell it to buy a phone since my old one is dead. Anyways, let me know what you would like me to do, really sorry about that."

Me: "Yeah, man, I would love to have it back, actually. If you want to desolder the switches, since I sent it to you as a bare kit, that is fine, or I can send you replacement switches, or alternatively some cash for them and your assembly. Sorry to hear about your phone. I understand what it's like to be broke with little income.

If you need my address:

[REDACTED]

Thanks for the quick reply!"

TFR: "Do you want me to include a keyset with it? As a thank you gift. I have a few different sets that work with the layout."

Me: "Nah, bro, you don't have to do that. I have plenty of keycaps, and maybe you can sell the extras you have if you need cash. Thank you for the offer, though. I appreciate that."



PM from me (15 May 2015): "Hey man, I was just wondering if you ever had a chance to ship the KMAC Mini, and if so, do you have a tracking number?"

TFR: "Not yet, I need to get a box that will fit and packing materials. Want to be sure it arrives okay!"

Me: "No problem, thanks for the update. :)"

TFR: "Hey sorry for the delay, I'll try to get out the KMAC this weekend."

why did bunny trade it if it wasn't his?

the trade had absolutely zero to do with me

the board was never in my possession, neither was i any part in the deal that went on between jd and raccoon as im sure jd will confirm

 
I'M IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING RIGHT NOW, WILL BE BACK AROUND SOON

Yes, I don't know why TFR said he thought it was a gift from Bunny back in May of last year. I think it may have been a case of "selective memory." In our latest exchange via email, he quoted my original PM saying that I was shipping it to him, so he knows now, at least.

Wasn't Sherry also a teenie during his whole kerbopple? The only exception I've seen is billnye, and I actually was surprised to find out how young he was.
Thanks man. Means a lot :rolleyes:

I've been here for one week under three years, since I was 15, and I've never had one complaint.

I would be happy to chip in some money towards getting a new kmac for JD too when I get some money, as he has never been anything other than an outstanding member here.

Huh? What is this? It looks sort of like a Space Cadet—could that be why people are bidding so crazily on it, the power of suggestion?

But this isn't even a vintage board, is it? With a case like that? I'm baffled.

The more I'm on here, the more I'm egad'd.

When I was a teen, I was out hanging with friends at the mall and movies, and then going to fast food restaurants late at night. Don't kids these days do that anymore? All my summer/winter job funds went to that. Imagine all the Model M's and F's I could've purchased instead...

Oh well, just thought I'd make an attempt to learn why something like this would be worth over $600. That seems like an outrageous amount of dough to me for a board that doesn't even look particularly old. I really was curious. Before I posted, I looked around the Web but couldn't find any details about it. – A.

Only the KMAC Minis go for that much.  Normal TKL KMACs are much more reasonable.  Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is trying to make a quick buck off the associated name.

Yeah KMACs hover around $400-$500 normally, much cheaper than what minis go for.

That's a ridiculous overpay then.  KMAC 2's were never particularly rare or sought after and the kit price was around $400.

That's a ridiculous overpay then.  KMAC 2's were never particularly rare or sought after and the kit price was around $400.
They are sought after, rare maybe not as much as others but enough to warrant people paying over GB price. Just checked my list and the lowest I've seen one go for is $600, was going off memory before but I know they've gone for more.

700-800 is damn stupid!
Compared to the aftermarket increase on OTD boards though...
Nah its all because of hype and ****.

It was already past that, but some folks retracted their bids, probably after reading this whole thread, that the seller is selling something that is not really his.

All the 600 bids were retracted.

i'd imagine the final price would be around the same price kmac kits go for these days. 800-1200 dep on vendor.

Only the KMAC Minis go for that much.  Normal TKL KMACs are much more reasonable.  Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is trying to make a quick buck off the associated name.

Yeah KMACs hover around $400-$500 normally, much cheaper than what minis go for.
True with the exception of the KMAC 2, those I've seen go for $700-800+

I sold mine 2(?) years ago for about $450, so prices have come up a lot since then I guess.  I still maintain that there are other boards that are "better" at the $600 range, which can net you pretty much your pick of customs.

Interesting situation here.

I looked through my PMs and realized that theflyingraccoon actually still owes me a cable from a trade a couple years ago.  My message exchanges with him were full of the similar BS.  I'm noticing a pattern...

I sent a message through Ebay, though I doubt it will sway his choice to sell.

Maybe TheFlyingRaccoon actually has a really bad memory.  Could be the result of a neurological condition.  Just a thought.

I sent him a message before kindly asking him to do the right thing, didn't do any good.

jdcarpe - if he really was a highschool student in 2013 and you sent it to his home address, chances are you have the address of his parents. It should be easy for you to procure a name and a number. Call them an advise that their son is attempting to sell property that doesn't belong to him.

The wrath of a parent is typically quite effective.

To those that have advised contacting the authorities - he can't. This is a civil dispute. He'd have to sue him - or his parents if he is still a minor at this time.

it's not that much.last month i got someone selling his kmac mini for around $500-550,but unfortunately lost connecttion with him.I also got an offer for kmac 2 for $400.There is no fixed priced for custom board.It depended on how the seller want(non or profitable)The price is getting higher because of the hype of Korean board is too high,and many Chinese collector willing to pay well for them.
