That guy is mad for sure but GH's gbs need to be reformed in some way.
Allow someone to collect thousands without any kind of buyer protection is simply stupid.

This all comes down to the willingness of people to throw money at something without first asking questions and verifying anything.

I mean look at the two recent brand new guys who have shown up offering a new 1800 style board people are throwing money at them (or at least willing to) without any real proof or history etc. I predict we will see yet another buy that gets so big then takes longer than proposed etc.

There's really no way to prevent this without banning GBs.  Or requiring that only vendors can run GBs, and must be legitimate businesses.  The GB format has inherent risk and there's no way to change that.  You're literally gifting money to people on the internet that are promising you goods in return.  Yes, it's crazy, but it's the only way to acquire these goods, so we do it.

Very true and I think sometimes we enthusiasts don't stop and think about what it is we are getting ourselves into, both the group buy organizers as well as participants.

In this respect, a GB isn't a whole lot different than Kickstarter. Sure hope coco has never contributed to something there (or IndieGoGo, Patreon, etc).

its the nature of the beast, GB's always take more time than expected, and Have never heard of one that was completed early.

Yeah, it sucks that we've all been waiting on stuff to ship that Harry has had in hand since Dec, and it sucks that we all are probably still a month or two away from getting our orders, but nothing we can do about it.

But this kid ( obviously a kid, because any real adult wouldn't be upset over the idea of loosing $25 ) its just butthurt and trolling.
Group buys are not amazon with 2-day shipping.

Though I would like to see a few changes in the GB system. Maybe a mandatory post in the OP that says something like "all money invested in a group buy is a risk, and all deadlines promised by the organizer are subject to change" etc etc.

I get why GH can't do much about buys gone wrong, but I feel like GH could do a better job of conveying the risk and realistic expectations to potential buyers.

I too have become more hesitant to invest in GH's GB's, I've yet to be in one that has run realistically smooth. But where else are we going to keep on finding all these custom items to fuel our obsession.

Just FYI, I've got something like this in the works.  I'm going to write up an explanation on GBs (what they are, how they work, what can go wrong, etc) and post it alongside the Caveat Emptor thread that already exists.  Then people can link/quote it in the OP of every GB, much like what you describe.

Excellent.  :thumb:

Only thing I would suggest is that the wording be required for people who have run fewer than 5-10 GBs. Experienced folks such as Ivan or Bunny would not need it.

Thats good. Maybe talk to some of the guys on here that have run some of these and get the details of what all they have to do to get the buys done.
I've done some GB's myself ( not on GH ) but those were usually just buy in bulk to save money and not custom small scale production runs.

I was planning to write it from the perspective of a GB buyer, rather than organizer (as a warning to buyers).  But maybe both would have value.  I'll do some thinking and draft something, then open it to feedback. 


And let's continue discussion here;)

Harry, could you please update the spreadsheet please? Would just like to know where we're actually at with this at the moment  :thumb:

To everyone complaining, kindly go to the original post, and look at the boxes full of caps.

BOXES.FULL.OF.CAPS.

Not sure if anyone has done the calculations, but that is a metric f--ktonne of caps.

Have you ever sorted that many caps yourself? No? Then kindly STFU  :))

It's nearer 100Kg, or 0.1 of a metric f--ktonne of caps; in your language. Still, if you're trying to underline a point, ridiculous over-exageration is normally how it works online.  :p

Other than the obvious troll, as far as I can see, the vast majority of negative comments have been based on lack of communication, and a measure of frustration brought about by no update in the dispatch information.  You yourself have pointed to the spreadsheet not being current.

Speaking of trolls, he does have valid concerns, as do many of us, but all he has achieved is the tarring of new members participating in this GB with the same brush in the eyes of more established members; all because of his pressing need to spray the forum with his adolescent hormones.  This has the unfortunate effect of diminishing the gravity of those concerns in the eyes of others.

Chief of those concerns being - why does it take five months (and counting) to sort and send 967 bags of caps?  It's by no means a small undertaking - I'm not trying to diminish the size of the task.  I would expect a few weeks, but five months?  Even with all that has been going on? 

It has also been nearly as long since the spreadsheet was updated - five minutes once a week is all it would take to show that the mountain of orders is slowly but surely being eroded and most people, myself included, would feel much more comfortable.  As it stands, I look at the sheet, scroll across to Shipping Status and note the figure (122) remains unchanged.

As I've said before, communication costs nothing, and the smallest modicum of effort would likely have alleviated the bulk of people's worries.

as far as I know, it does not seem that anyone has gotten any shipments since early jan.

Guess he's sorting them all out first?

Even as a supporter of Harry, I do have my criticism on how he ran things. I warned him to get assistance, and in one of the above posts I talked about leadership. Harry got involved in way too many things in school, typical idealistic guy with more on his plate than he can handle. He was just being set up as the fall guy rather than the leader who can get people to do things on his say-so.

Unfortunately, for Chinese, ‘representative’ can mean two things. One is Public Slave. The other is Corrupt Tyrant. I don’t think Harry is in the position to misuse his power, so he’s just a no-wage slave for classmates, the student body, geekhackers, etc.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

If anyone is looking for a Dolch set (no addons) I'd be willing to let someone take over my order. I've since lost interest in this set and I figure if there is someone else out there who still wants a Dolch set they should have it instead of myself. If you are interested let me know and the order can be changed.

"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

If anyone in the US is looking for an ollivette set + extras I don't mind reselling mine to you. This keycap set isn't needed any more since i've found a nice alternative that I got between ordering this and who knows when delivery.

the green colour means that i have amended you address according to your pm

resent means that i had resent an invoice to you before, and it has nothing related to the shipping stage so no worry

orders will be sent according to the ordering number so you can know around when u shall get your order

Sweet. I can't wait to get my caps. Though sadly now I need to buy more keyboards to put them on...

Thanks for the updates, Harry!  I'm in the 220s, so my "turn" is getting closer. :)  At this point, I'm on the edge of my seat, waiting to see which GB shows up first - this or Toxic!

247 here so still a while for me...

Unfortunately, I've owed one of the two sets I ordered to someone since November and I feel bad for not being able to get it to him sooner  :-X

290s for me! Though that's my own wrongdoing. Was way up there in the first 20 or so, then backed out.

In case you missed the PM GhostofHarry, I need to change my shipping address.

My order is not marked as shipped yet.
"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

If it's being sent by registered HK Post (vs a courier), I've found the tracking numbers don't work. I'm not sure what they're even used for... possibly some very manual form of tracking in case packages are reported as lost.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone does have HK Post registered mail and can see tracking information.

If you check my tracking number its working fine although they seem to overwrite the older info when something new is put on example, last night 9/3/15 the tracking was Parcel ready to be dispatched from HK, now it shows as 10/3/15 Parcel dispatched from HK so it is working they just seem to remove the older details otherwise I'll let you know once it hits royal mail post

Harry,

Since I’m supposed to be the last person to get the keycaps, bump me to 321, and sort out whoever missed the GB and sell to them from my sets.

Once the keycaps have been sent to me, if I have to supply anyone I’ll cover my shipping costs too ie the price will be significantly higher.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.
