I have no idea why this set can't get more buyers.  It's so simple and elegant.

I'm sure at least in part just straight timing.

[makhuyatz]

I really hope our moq will be reached. Extend again if it needs to. Haha

I also think so. Maybe just not good timing.

Haha really?? Very long shot....

Really hope this makes it.  If you're on the fence - do it!

EU proxy has a 19% increase on the original price, not gonna pay that much extra for a mono-colored set.

German VAT is 19%, funny how that works out  )

Yes, that explains everything, except that the price states it includes VAT

Perhaps it is a typo as if you would convert 129 us dollars to euros you'll get exactly 107 which doesn't include VAT. Then you have to add it on the top.

US Retail prices NEVER includes VAT, as the US tax structures varies state by state and most online retailer circumvents sales tax and only collects it when the individual state requires them to.

129USD from donut's website translate to about 107.2EUR at current exchange rates, adding 19% VAT comes to 127.6EUR

EU Proxy pricing is 129 EUR for the base kit (this already includes VAT). This matches well to the US pricing, taking into account some variation in exchange rates. I do not see why you are complaining. It is simply not possible for the EU proxy to not collect VAT on sales, so Candykeys are charging exactly how much I would expect them to.

Can you explain in further details on why you think Candykeys is ripping us off? Is there something that I forgot to take into account?

Ok, that fits together really well, I guess that's what happened

I was going by the EU price stated in this thread, I think it's just incorrect.

I didn't see that, perhaps they just copied and pasted the cost over without actually adding the VAT

[cocobrais]

Todays counts is below
Base : 68 set
Led+spacebar : 45 set.

This week is last week..So hard to reach the MOQ.

Halfway there! There is still time to make it happen.

[BOK]

I will join this before closing. I don't know why this set is lower count. Maybe this set is perfect for my Bok.CP, specially black and geay color.

I sent the message to Donutcat to fix the website. Please wait. Sorry for uncomfortable.

[donutcat]

Sorry about the website malfunction, I've been having issues with WP lately and may end up doing a "site refresh" later on in the month when I'm no longer working fulltime. I am hoping to have the site back functional later tonite or tomorrow morning.

Thanks Donutcat!  You saved me like $25 in shipping

The site should be back up and the BoB order page should be fully functional.

[ojrask]

8.1. already here. Any news on whether we reached MOQ or not? Hopefully we did!

Now I have been gathering the counts from proxies. I will update.

[donutcat]

I'm keeping my order page open through Friday to try and coax the last few needed orders in. We really are close and i really do want this to happen.

[pon10]

Would definitely pick it op if there was a Norde kit even with a EU proxy.. 

[amnesia0287]

I don't get why people say stuff like this... if there were enough people to actually get a norde kit produced, we would have already hit moq multiple times. Laser sold 2100 kits and that was enough to literally JUST hit moq at 100 orders of the euro kit.

You need serious hype to have a norde kit produced outside of massdrop.

[fublamchu]

In for a set, thanks for keeping the form open a bit longer!

[donutcat]

EU/Norde/International kits don't sell. I don't have the numbers on hand since I'm on mobile, but the numbers for the past 5 or so GMK sets with these kits that ran have shown a pretty steady trend of <5% order for these kits vs the base kits. Besides meaning that these kits have a statistically insignificant purchase rate, this means you need the base kit to hit the upper bounds of what even Massdrop can sell in order to be produced. This means that for small set designers not going through MD, it's not worth the time and effort to design a kit and get it mocked up/quoted by GMK. There's always so many people that will yell and complain about these kits not being included, but they seem to disappear when it comes time to commit.

Edit: I'm back with numbers now that I'm home from work.

GMK Plum: ~1600 base kits, 36 int kits, .0225 crossover
GMK Nautilus: 1899 base kits, 82 int kits, .04318 crossover
GMK Yuri: 935 base kits, 40 int kits, .04278 crossover
GMK Laser: 2103 base kits, 100 int kits, .04755 crossover
GMK Royal Alpha R2: 220 base kits, 14 int kits, .06363 crossover

Total Base: 6757
Total "Int" kits: 272
Average crossover: .04025

Thanks for the stats mr donut
I know its a small amount of kits and with the logic of not getting the norde kit produced. The norde kits, just have a rough history with importing fees etc and people attend to find other solutions n compromises. But more n more EU proxies are starting to distribute even with this set shipping directly from germany to EU and other places. More people are seeing that and a hungry crowd awaits Thats all. My comment wasn't a complaint - just a noticed that i would be happy to pay 30€ more for a Norde kit. Especially when it ships from within the EU. 

Love the set!

Any news on numbers?

[cocobrais]

Any news on numbers?

I request the counts to CN and EU proxies.
Also US is still Friday. Donutcat will inform the count for US to me.
Please wait a moment.
I will gathering and inform the count in this thread. Also we will be able to decide to progress or not this GB.
Hope to reach the MOQ.

[cocobrais]

GB closed.
Just about 60% of MOQ was joined but all proxies share the extra sets. So we can progress this GB.
I will request the invoice to GMK this week and if all proxies will pay the payment to GMK, I will inform this in this thread.

Many thank to GB proxies and joined members.

Awesome! This was a close one, many thanks for deciding to take a small hit while proceeding with GB.

Any estimate of the PayPal invoice's deadline payment date or are you going to wait for GMK's final invoice before thinking about those?

[pvd]

Awesome!!!!  So glad this went through.

[mudcakehoney]

Excellent news! Worth the wait.

[ojrask]

Any news? Still waiting for an invoice.

[cocobrais]

Any news? Still waiting for an invoice.

Regarding invoice, I and EU side received invoice form GMK but CN didn't receive it.
So I check this and request it to GMK again. Also I am checking US side.
In case of KR(my side), Yesterday I paid the payment to GMK and waiting the confirmation from GMK.

If all proxies will receive the invoice and pay the payment, I will update this news.

Whoo hoo! Thanks to the proxies that paid for the extra sets, this is great! I love this set.

Invoice received and paid. And saw the good-looking cable which at least CandyKeys offers for this one as well, had to buy.
