Just so you know, UK is GMT not GMT + 1

It sort of is GMT+1 now with summer time ;) The 3 PM is right anyway

I just read your comment regarding topre stem and now i am abit worried that it might break. Actually i am also having a hard time creating topre stem cause most of the cap I cast is very loose and if you flip the board, it would fall off. So what i did is thicken it a bit so it would be tighter. But after what you mentioned, being too tight might cause the stem to break or something and i only test the caps 1 time only since i used my mx most of the time
I think you'll be okay, your caps are pretty durable in general so I would expect these to last as well. If you're really concerned though, just put a disclaimer in your sale post that says these caps are you first Topre run and may experience stem issues after lengthy use. And then maybe just do a quick add/remove test on each key where you pop it on/ off the keyboard 10 or so times, pressing down on different spots to put it on, and pulling it off differently each time. That way you get a small test of how each person might be putting on/taking off their caps.

You'll still sell out regardless, Topre users want artisan caps and they're tough to get.

And I see you made your PB private  :'(

Updating the OP now and while listing the colors i did, i didnt imagine doing that many colorways. daym!

Metallic blue and purple will definitely be there except for pink. I dont have that kind of metallic dye so sorry about that  :-[

Will continue to update the OP with the pictures tomorrow. I am not sure as well if i listed our everything already. lol.

Also, applying some feedbacks i got from the previous sale so i hope i got those right. And if you guys still have any suggestions on how i can do better sales in the future, do let me know.

Cheers!
How about having it at the weekend?  Looks like pretty much everyone in the US and Europe will be at work when this kicks off, leaving the "lazy students" first shot at the KRAPs :eek:

I can't use my work computer as google forms are banned (tried last time) so I'll have to use my phone, and multiple forms will be impossible to do discretely... Here's hoping my bosses go home early because it's Friday!

Actually i was supposed to bring this up on my Saturday morning which would be afternoon/night for most of you guys. Unfortunately, life is hindering me to do so due to my commitments on all of my weekends until the end of the month.

The reason why i need to be on standby while doing the sale is because i monitor the forms closely to be sure that the caps that are sold out would be closed which i am only able to do on my friday night. This would prevent people from buying something that isnt there anymore and know what they picked is what they get. And due to some colorway only having 2-3 pcs, i need those forms to be closed as soon as they are out.

So yeah, TL;DR, i dont have the bandwidth to start it on my saturday morning unfortunately

I was only joking, it's as good a time as any and you're right to kill the forms ASAP to avoid disappointment.  I was a student once :))

Metallic pink and you'd be up :p
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

You probably already know but the Golden Crowned Skulls in both MX and Topre pics are broken (and the Judgmental Skulls aren't there at all)  The rest look great, I have red, blue and yellow so will be after a green one :)

Shame I can't book a bathroom break on Friday!

Those colors are awesome. Hope I wake up early enough for the sale!  ;D

I entered my first KRAP sale at 6am - woke up, ordered, went back to sleep.  No excuses, you have an alarm :p

Fixed.

Thanks for highlighting the broken pics. Judgemental skull topre caps still needs to be photographed and will probably do that later and tomorrow will start creating the forms.

I think pre and post sales are the most busy time for me and i hope i got enough time to finish all those forms  :'(

I will probably do 1 form for the topre and just put a dropdown to include all the colors since its only 1 pc/color and creating a form for each is kind of a waste of effort. lol.

Its pink sir.

And thanks everyone! Setting this many colors up is really a chore. lol. Also, just a quick but important announcement!

There are only 1 Bismuth Judgemental Skull for MX and Topre. Those 2 would be up for raffle after the sale to all the ones who are going to join the sale. Ill post the winners after i settle everything.

Also, i just noticed all pics in the OP are kind of bad quality. So i did a shoot again with all the colors except for the first 3 (Gold/Bronze/Silver). Hope the pics are quality enough, lol.

less than 24hrs to go...  :cool:
