Yeah, I am willing to double my order too. It'll be crazy if this doesn't go through. I feel the same way about the PBT Topre spacebar buy. These are kick-ass GBs and it will be so sad/unbelievable if they die on the vine...

Synjin · « **Reply #251 on:** Thu, 08 January 2015, 12:40:19 »

I wish i could double mine but unfortunately I already ordered 2 of each originally. I change dmine to spcaebar order only unless we reach close to MOQ then I can always add some sets.

If the base set gets cancelled, I could afford a second Mod set as well

Same here. I'll do the same if base doesn't go through.

I forgot what I ordered. Ivan, can you PM me my order?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #255 on:** Thu, 08 January 2015, 16:43:39 »

This buy is open to anyone. I only post it on the forums I belong to (GH, DT, bit-tech), but feel free to spread the word to anywhere you wish. Help with publicity is much appreciated.

I'm willing to double up my ModPack order, but only if other people pledge to do the same... let's try to get it to reach MOQ!

I have a feeling that it won't be too difficult to resell it after the GB ends, when newcomers and people who didn't join in at first want to complete their classic beige sets and want it.

Same for the Colour Pack, if it fails to meet MOQ, I'll double up my Mod Pack order.

If this doesn't reach MOQ, is it then possible to get gmk to do a lower MOQ gb with a higher price? I need me some R0 row!

Ivan has already got from down from 500 to 250. Chances are slim I would guess.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #260 on:** Fri, 09 January 2015, 10:11:10 »

Right, they aren't going to go lower than 250 for minimum order. They don't do tiered pricing scheme like SP does.

taylordcraig · « **Reply #261 on:** Fri, 09 January 2015, 12:18:47 »

Ivan can you allow a few days for people to order extra mod packs if the base and color packs dont tip?
It would be greatly appreciated.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #262 on:** Fri, 09 January 2015, 16:52:55 »

If it looks like extension will mean go or no go, then sure. If it's like still 50% there I don't think it will matter.

b7ad · « **Reply #263 on:** Fri, 09 January 2015, 19:05:33 »

I'd also more than happily take a second mod set if it helped. Really want this to happen

Karura · « **Reply #264 on:** Fri, 09 January 2015, 19:14:42 »

Mod pack is at 112 right now, if let's say 80% of people double up, we'll have 201 sets, and that's another 50 sets for people to get.

We gotta spread the word

mason · « **Reply #265 on:** Fri, 09 January 2015, 20:20:47 »

Ordered a mod pack + some spacebars, maybe it helps reaching MOQ

ideus · « **Reply #268 on:** Sun, 11 January 2015, 10:27:12 »

If the GB does not reach its MoQ, I suggest to split the MOD pack into a basic one and an extended one, I am pretty sure the basic one will make the MoQ, because many of us already have old Cherry sets that will take advantage of it to fit standard ANSI keyboards. The SP made moogles will never stand well with original Cherry sets, these last have straight edges and taller skirts than SP DCS, so they do not match well at all, not talking about the plastic, where SP is thinner and lighter.

The main set may be broken down into MODs and Alphas to allow more people to afford them, again, the MODs set may be another "moogle" than can be buy alone, so buyers may have two moogles to choose from if they want a full set.

Just an idea.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #269 on:** Sun, 11 January 2015, 13:49:15 »

Due to order changes we lost 10 full sets... moving in the wrong direction!

So this ends on Thursday right? I'm guessing we will have the weekend to all change our orders?

Ivan, since it doesn't look like the base set is going to tip, should we just start pm'ing you throughout the week changing our orders? Otherwise RIP your weekend and inbox.

edit: looks like 100 base kits aren't going to make it. All those people should turn their base kits into 2 more mod packs. >.>

We need a live set counter!

The Mod Pack would be perfect for me if we could add the main set's circled F keys to it.

ideus · « **Reply #282 on:** Mon, 12 January 2015, 15:23:46 »

The counter is in the OP. I copied it here for your convenience, the GB is under 50% of the MOQ, so unless someone buys multiple packs for resale it seems unreachable.

Count: (11 Jan.)
Full sets - 95
Mod sets - 116
Color pack - 77
Spacebars - 438

Karura · « **Reply #283 on:** Mon, 12 January 2015, 16:04:50 »

At this point, everyone should consider focusing our efforts and support on either the modpack or the base set to make sure atleast one of them make MOQ.

I'm unsure of my finances at the moment, but I want to triple my modpack order. If not triple, the very least I can do is double it. (Poor student problems)

taylordcraig · « **Reply #284 on:** Mon, 12 January 2015, 17:17:53 »

If we can get it closer to 200 it seems more feasible for a vendor to pick up 50, rather than 150 or even 100.

CommonCurt · « **Reply #285 on:** Mon, 12 January 2015, 17:32:36 »

I wonder if Ivan has a GMK stamp card. Maybe if he runs enough group buys with them he can get a set for free. Or at least some leniency on numbers for this GB.

You're dealing with a German Company they do not do FREE orders regardless of who's making the payments. They have accountant's that demand all payments up front hence no one gets anything for free because they make sure everything follows strict protocols and they abide by their complicated taxation system.

Giving away anything means they still have to front up with payments to their illustrious government.

Hope this Group Buy goes forth but if not, don't worry Ivan will do another in time when a few more will be willing to part with their money for some German Goodness.

Very true. I don't even celebrate Christmas or NY and I'm still absolutely cleaned out.

shower_king · « **Reply #291 on:** Mon, 12 January 2015, 23:46:43 »

I AM so disappointed the base set would not meet the MOQ. it just two days to left.
another question is whether IVAN could organize a GMK group for basic and mod set for G80-3000 AND 1800 in other color such as orange or dark green or pink?

asgeirtj · « **Reply #292 on:** Tue, 13 January 2015, 02:08:20 »

Well I was just going to buy this set mainly for the R0 row, not a big fan of the look/legends personally. Perhaps it would be a good idea to offer a pack with only an R0 row, surely a lot of people like me with 75% boards be interested in that? I use my 75% for starcraft and I use the function keys a lot in game and need to be able to click it fast, an R4 function row makes it soo hard to reach.

do you REALLY think there are 250 orders worth? when the base set can't even get past 150.

My thinking is that maybe some people didn't want to get a full set in order to get the R0. Also, this set is quite unorthodox.

edit: I'd be talking about some very standard looking caps then for the R0 row, a white on black would probably be best bet.

CommonCurt · « **Reply #295 on:** Tue, 13 January 2015, 03:18:54 »

I absolutely love the sets colorway, but couldn't bring myself to order it because of those legends.

I know they are supposed to fit the theme, but they would drive me crazy.

If Ivan ever re-runs it with modern legends I will for sure order a set or two.
