Ah, that makes sense. I thought I was already sub'd there, but apparently I wasn't.

Ah no, I haven't signed up for the Techkeys newsletters. I guess that is why I am not getting anything about the new sale. I am going to sign up for it.

I appreciate your help, Diokhan! :)

No problem at all, that's why we joined this community right? :)

[IMBoddy]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I'm literally on a flight during this time!!!!

I'm very excited about the possibility of getting a cap. Coincidentally, the 23rd is also my birthday.

I have never been in a binge cap sale before, will it be a raffle style or first come first serve?

I have never been in a binge cap sale before, will it be a raffle style or first come first serve?

First come first serve. The last one was the Polar Ice sale which sold out in 2 mins, so be ready lol

Why are there more options for some colors and fewer for others?

Cool. I've had experience with making limited numbers of keys using excess material from other work, so I think I understand where you're coming from.

Sounds like you make some in limited numbers using excess materials (like extra clear resin from when you make Hungrkey skin), and if those "extra keys" turn out attractive you sell them, but if you don't like the look or there are designs that you didn't have enough excess to make, they aren't sold.

But when there are colorways with many design options in a sale, those are the colorways you were either intentionally making in the first place or the ones that turned out looking good enough with the excess resin that you decided to make a relatively large number of them.

Bingo.  There are other mitigating factors, most of it has to do with reducing waste and increasing the resin used in products.

Fair warning for tomorrow's sale

Downcast people will find further despair and people who dispense aloe will be rewarded in kind.

It's not always about getting your buy in.  There's someone else out there who should, ideally, love the key just as much as you.  Some day they may want to let that key see a new home and hopefully they'll part with it at cost.

For people who have had problems in the past.

1) Just before the sale goes live (1 minute or so) log into your paypal account.
2) Don't be greedy and add them all to cart.  More clicks and page loads = more stock already sold.
3) The inventory depletes upon checkout and not when you add the item to cart.  Don't freak out, just grab your 2nd choice asap.  If you're good at multitasking or have a friend/family who can help have them go for your 2nd choice key.

Please be civil and understand that despite its flaws the FCFS techkeys sales have their merits and keep everything here at HWS moving toward improving the situation.

I puts the lotion on my skin or else I get the hose again?

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

So you're saying I shouldn't even try because there isn't even a chance. #breakmyheartintopieces

[Diokhan]

Say that in the unlikely event that someone manages to checkout a second key in a second checkout attempt.
Will the second shipping be refunded?

Are you already downcast, SpAmRaY? 

I always see you as an aloe dispenser. I think you'll be just fine.
