Well, if no one comes in and say how many they want to order, then how are you going to know how many to count?
Interested in 3 just for counting.
gotta say that since there's already been a white geekhack cap i'd really rather see something else, like maybe yellow, green, or navy blue or something. either way i'll be in for a couple.
I'm still rooting for a nice Purple one. It's worth the extra money for plastic!
I'd be in for >9000 of them.
Well let's keep these going monthly or bi-monthly so we can catch 'em all.
Colin, you didn't mention what shipping you wanted
In for two. Thanks for reviving this, next round let's do WA on RA. Oh, and you're welcome for the pic. ;)
next round i'll do a poll a week before i start it, i dont want ppl hating me for my choices =p
In for 2! I'm in the United States.
My Geek Hack pride tells me to buy 100 at the very least
7. hashbaz.......... 2 (first class, UK)
I am from the USYou sure you're not in the Fire Nation?
^ lol Are you sure? =P
You sure you're not in the Fire Nation?
So I'm assuming we're skipping the Interest Check thread and this is the real order thread?this was never an interest check
maybe you should add a few more colours to different caps, so we can buy more keys that will justify the shipping cost :D
My Geek Hack pride tells me to buy 100 at the very least
^ Do it! :cheer2:
then Colin will up his order to compete :rofl:
he said he wants me to sort until i hate counting
I am pretty sure the two people I wouldn't be able to compete with in this buy for the most ordered would be Kisa and Tsangan.
Nevermind. Is that $4 shipping to Canada? Am I seeing this right?recently sent something in a bubble mailer, was a couple pennies short of 4 bucks.
I will get 4 keys then
Canada
Wtf we're at 100 pretty much. Bump me to 8 keys!
if this slows down by next week, im going to end it soon. 100 to 250 is a huge gap.
RCT, what are you going to do with your 25 GEEK HACKS?
if this slows down by next week, im going to end it soon. 100 to 250 is a huge gap.
It's not going to slow down any time soon. It's only been a couple hours and we're nearly at 100 already. The gap for 100-250 is large, but so are the savings. The larger the savings, it'll trickle to even larger orders when new people want to join or the people that already ordered will increase their old orders. So I'd say wait a little longer for this GB to get more exposure.
In fact, I'd say you even ask Melissa for the 500 and 1000 price brackets just in case this snowballs to a huge single-cap GB.
the same thing i did with 87 awesome facesShow Image(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20408132/Kb%20pics/Photo%20Feb%2021%2C%205%2057%2032%20PM.jpg)
only at a smaller scale
At the same time, we're going to be doing these regularly. $1.44 per key is already dirt cheap. Maybe it makes sense to cut it off before we max out demand.
that's what i was afraid of.
do we REALLY need 1000 red on white keycaps floating around? with that said, this ****ing space bar keeps sticking.
with that said, this ****ing space bar keeps sticking.
Consult the following thread (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?25632).
oh, no. i dont want to limit anybody. everybody is free to buy as much as they want. but don't get sick of GH keycaps after the first round lol. there will be other colors :)
see, told you it wasn't bloody semen!
with that said.
one question.
would you guys be against me picking up a couple extra to sell after the group buy closes? after i recuperate what i invested, everything else will go into the geekhack paypal donation. if not, that's totally cool. figured since we're getting them so cheap it would be nice to give back to iMav for letting us start these up again
Self-conscious much? In that case, I hate you already :p
Can I just sign up for a subscription and get one new one a month?that'd be a great idea
GH Key of the Month Club!GH DS KotMC
demik's a cool guy and this is how group buy should be run. By giving back to iMav and the community, not to pocket oneself. ;)

I'm game if we all want to meet up and do lunch or something. If not, saving a couple of bucks isn't worth the hassle. :)
Compton meet up will backfire because we both will get stabbed or shot at and then laughed at for having keycaps in little ziplock bags lol
Would you be willing to take add a part to this buy where we can make a donation of $.10 for every keycap we buy to go towards the same purpose? Sort of like a choice that each person makes?
:\ i'd get some if someone nearby would split the shipping with me (LA, 91776).I could possibly split the shipping with you. I'm located in Irvine, but go down to Rosemeand/SGV area almost every weekend. How many keys are you looking to get?

sweet! I'd take 2. do you go to uci?
Yes I do. I will update my order to include your 2 keys.
These are ABS, right? (Are Doubleshots always ABS?)Yes they are ABS
I'm totally down for a lunch meetup. Hopefully we can get others out as well. Isn't jpm in the bay too?
In for 4.
Malaysia
Stupid shipping cost. *grumbles*
I better ask more Malaysians to join me
You guys are going to get sick of these on the first round. There is no need to hit 500 for a .20 discount.
dang, you being a bulls fan im going to send you a link that i think you'll enjoy from another forum im on.
anyway, ill update the list tomorrow. im tired =/. been up since 3am and worked 14 hrs -.-
black iceee
Double shot lunch sounds good. I say ship it all to Hashbaz as he likes throwing keys at people.
Yeah, I agree, we'll see if hash is okay with the keys being shipped to him. I wouldn't mind if he always threw keys at me :)
list updated, didn't tally up the orders tho. i'll do that later tonight.
kaiserreich and laggy-gaga, you didn't tell me what shipping you wanted.
please check for your name and order quantity. if there is something wrong, let me know.
Can I drop my order to 2 please? Should I re-pm.Sure, I'll update when I get home
Am I on there? Don't think I saw it...Hm, I think I might have missed it. I'll update when I get home
Am I so special to get an asterisk next to my name in the order list? Or am I in some kind of trouble? :tongue1:lots of trouble!
I have a quick question.
Why do people buy so many keycaps of the same kind? Do they just resell them to other people?
It makes me feel weird buying only one.

There's a pretty good chance that we'll hit the 250 mark, so each key will be pretty cheap. I just buy more to justify the shipping costs.
I have a quick question.I don't know about you, but I have at least 6 keyboards with cherry keyswitches. This seems about average for a GH'er.

I don't know about you, but I have at least 6 keyboards with cherry keyswitches. This seems about average for a GH'er.165 to go to the next discount bracket.
I'm going to wait on this. I know I want at least ONE, but I need to look at my bank account, and remind myself that I don't need 100.
Also, Why DS? Can't we have a PBT keycap sometime? I need something else to put on my CMstorm other than \KL blue, portal, and Nyan.
Edit: I count ~335
Got only 1 board and no interest in hoarding :S
PM'd for 1x
See, I don't look at it as hoarding. I walk into buys like this with a budget, a value that I want to spend for the product. This buy I set myself in the range of $50 because, well, its for a key style I really like and its a key I want pretty bad. What I do at this point is try and get the most for my money. SP has odd pricing structures and with the simplicity of this key I can get, at this current time, about 50ct for $50. But why stop there? Odds are I will walk away from this buy ordering 85 keys (75 for me and 10 for my paypal proxy) because the price is likely to fall to $.50 or so. Now, what I do then is not sell the keys because, well, first off I can't and second off I want them for my collection. I will probably use them in trades or bonuses for gifts and such. Now, if the price isn't $.50, then I will get less and if Demik lets me make a donation per key then so be it, I buy less but pay the same.
I guess that makes sense. I don't know, I personally feel that if I were to buy let's say even just 10 to stock up on, I'd have 1 on my board and 9 sitting around being "wasted". But I agree on making sure I get the most out of what I pay for, and justifying shipping costs. I don't know maybe I'll change up the order a bit before the order is sent in.
I used to have that feeling, too. However, now that I have multiple boards and even more keycap sets I really stopped caring about having the boards for the caps and look at it more as a collecting hobby.
I will probably use them in trades or bonuses for gifts and such.
Now that makes sense. I might have to increase my order.
Yeah this kinda convinced me to up my order. Also I agree with you vax on the shipping, I just don't really have a reason to have more than one of the same key. But I guess I'll keep a few around ^^ Bumped my order up to 4.
By the time that you reach about... 200 posts or so you will have nine keyboards and will have strong need to have your Geek Hack keys on them.
list updated.
order count is 363
25 keys $4.38 / each
50 keys $2.43 / each
75 keys $1.76 / each
100 keys $1.44 / each
150 keys $1.11 / each
200 keys $0.95 / each
250 keys $0.71 / each
500 keys $0.51 / each
im closing the GB on thursday/ friday so i can collect payment over the weekend and pay on monday or tuesday.
i want these keycaps already.
of course
wait, by 50 or to 50?
By 50; vote of confidence that it will get to 500ct and that 75ct of keys won't cost me a fortune. I figure it takes one or two big orders to convince the others to increase for the next discount.
Damn o_o you're really good at convincing people to spend more money ^^
May have to increase my order once more, really soon.
done
we'll see what we get at by friday. if you keep "inspiring" people to buy more, i might have to order 750 lol
I like spending other peoples' money.
I'm reporting your new debit card # to PayPal.
:behindsofa:

I ****ed up in how I tried to register that one and that card/account is now banned too. When I get enough energy to order a fourth card this month I will just go the route of not making an account and using their other service that doesn't require one.
I have nothing on you then. NOTHING!
:hurt:
Updated order to 8.
just the tip!!!
congrats Colin, you got another one to update their order lol
I didn't even start trying.

Why would I make you play a game you can't win?

quick reminder to new orders.
PLEASE include your shipping and not just copy/paste "standard/priority"
Same as 500 I believe. The next price break would be at 750, which would probably be around 41c each.

WRONG! Based on the way that price breaks work you can theoretically hit them before you achieve the official count. Having enough keys at the active price to equal the required keys at the next break means you have, in fact, achieved the necessary amount of keys for the next break because it becomes cheaper at that point to buy more keys.
Ooohh! you just got math'd, son

Please don't make me buy more keycaps again tonight RCT with more logic and math :moony:
I can't make you do anything with math and logic because its indisputable and unavoidably correct. Unless you listen to Demik who WANTS it to be a 500ct buy so he has less work. I say you buy more caps to spite him.

all i have is the 500 count price
I was going purely by SP's pricing structures, as bad as they are. Oh and you did say the magic number was 680, so technically I'm still half right... answering his question, at 650, the price is still the same as at 500!
dang now every ******* here is gonna have one lol. you should limit orders to 50 a month and pick weird colors cause this is ridiculous! I do not envy you demik have to package some 100 or so packages
we dont need 500 every month.
Yes 100 per month, max 3 per person!
well the way imav did it was a certain price + shipping
any extra keys were lets say 2.50 more per keycap
he didn't run it how most of these gb run where people hoard simply because it's cheap.
I like cheap but if there needs to be a limit next time then so be it. However, I would say top end it around 10 because I still like these for trading and putting on boards that I sell/gift.
10 it is.
i also give away some keycaps when i sell boards, so i know what you mean.
we'll see about that :spy:

Multiplying like rabbits
also, how is shipping in Australia? 6 of you are from around there, would it be cheaper if somebody was a proxy and you guys shared shipping?
Scary, I can see this getting to be an expensive habit:(

not sure if you have taken down my order.

Guys, I feel like we need to do a Cherry font GEEK HACK modifier in a future round.
That would be cool? In the moogle color?
will get that tomorrow, i BELIEVE it's 41 cents

I still haven't ordered yet :behindsofa:
Do you also want it offcentered?
And order, you bum, so we can get this to 1000 and make Demik mad at me.
if we need more bought ill change my 2 order to 10. at a $1.44 ea its no that exp at all. More Geek the better.

if we need more bought ill change my 2 order to 10. at a $1.44 ea its no that exp at all. More Geek the better.

Just update the OP to say that if they don't specify the shipping then they won't be included in the group buy... put it in RED BOLD CAPITAL. lol And if they still can't read then that's too bad.Refer to above, it doesn't work :P
i swear if they keep it up im just not taking their order for not following directions. i hate having to PM them back when its not needed

actually it hasn't been that bad. maybe ~10 ppl and all were quick to reply when asked.
but still, if 50+ can get it right then it was obviously easy to understand what i wanted
problem with that is that somebody will get over charged while others will get under charged.
i dont want angry PMs. i rather be the one complaining :)
and you did a hell of a job keeping that group buy organized and up to date.
I used to do this, and people didn't do it
So I changed it to this
That still didn't work, so I decided on this
It still doesn't work, people manage to still manage to not put ANYTHING and I have to hunt for the people through PMs
Refer to above, it doesn't work :P
i said 4$, sir. i think that's pretty clearly disambiguating. whatever, withdraw my order then. i could really care less.Whoa there hoss; I only have about three fifty at the moment but I will get you your money. Please, leave these innocent people alone!
Such attitude lol.
i offered to pay you money for something i don't really need or even want all that much and i got back a page of *****ing because i didn't say the word standard somewhere, even though i (had to!) send two separate and distinct messages to different places to officially offer to pay you money for something i don't want or need, AND one of those messages that you obviously saw implied that i wanted standard.
thank you. contemplating adding more to my order.
sorry folks, was pissed about DRG losing yesterday, and not all that interested in these.
on a serious note, if you don't want to have to sort through a million pms, automate the process. if people who aren't super cranky want help doing this, it would probably take me about an hour and i'd be happy to do it (and not in perl either, goddamn)
in for 100 if it ships tomorrow!
So in other words:
"0"
Well I didn't want any anyways! :spit:
no it's why i start *****ing. i'm not buying the caps because i don't want the caps.
the guy totally deserves a big win though. such a boss and he's only properly won one iem. and that last game! it wasn't clear at all that he was out of it. total idra gg timing. GAH! the more i think about that game..
anyway tldr; apologies to demik and RCT for snapping, was in a bad mood, etc. let's all be friends and run awesome group buys together, the end.
As big a DRG fan as I am (and regardless, I always root for the zerg), no one has gotten closer to more titles than MKP. Props to him.no mkp totally deserved it, but seeing DRG choke AGAIN with a huge title on the line is, shall we say, "off-putting". i think whoever said mkp passed on the curse is right.
i thought that's what ripster did.We'll if the curse is real this Saturday!

"GEEK HA CK" ==> "GEEK HACK"
Not a bad idea, with this many people this would be a good time, and we can use a better font/style too
orders and list updated (well waiting to hear back from one person).You're still one of the nicest people here even on your grouchy day :grouphug:

Np with me, man. If I was Obama I'd rather apologize than see more troops killed. Nine today.
About combining the postage with Hazeluff's group buy and your own, Hazeluff mentioned that he could probably fit about 40 keys nicely in the standard shipping envelope. What do you think about that demik since you're doing it (I think, but I'm not actually sure). I plan to order enough keys from both sets to fill up a standard padded envelope, but would hate for it just not to fit or something :P
EDIT: Just saw your reply in the other group buy. Let's assume hypothetically I'm still going with a padded envelope :P
New price tiers
750 pcs******** $0.45 / each
1000 pcs****** $0.41 / each

In for 5 because CLEARLY these are going to be rare and valuable as trade items.
Why is there no sarcasm tag in bbcode, why oh why.
wow thats ugly

500 keys $0.51/ each <~~~ we are here
750 keys $0.45 / each
1000 keys $0.41 / each
Wait I'm confused. Did the whole price tier just changed a day or two ago? I think I remember it was $0.51 each at the 250 mark? And now it's $0.51 at 500?

For those who aren't sure what all the kerning is about.
It doesn't look bad, but it is noticeable. Especially after you've noticed it. I notice it ever time I notice a GH key. We have close to 100 orders to spread the $25 across. Now is the time to fix it. Notice.
+14 for shipping

Gosh I love folks like you; I will now take you both out to theoretical dinner.
Did we do something wrong?

Melissa got back to me, she said there is no fee for the new mold.
So you mean all these awesome caps will be even better at the low low prices they are now?So how many am I getting Colin?
Gosh, why aren't people increasing their orders if that is the case?
Melissa got back to me, she said there is no fee for the new mold.Awesome! We should get a test one done first to make sure they do it right instead of them messing up 500+ keys
Awesome! We should get a test one done first to make sure they do it right instead of them messing up 500+ keysthis a million damn times
So how many am I getting Colin?
arghh! why do I keep looking at this thread?
I have no money left to spend on keycaps... but since i'm new here, I don't own ANY GH keycaps.. I guess I should have some shouldn't I?
I must resist buying!!You need to own them or you get reported and ripped a new one by Ripster!
no one give me any ideas that I need to own any!

Ripster couldn't care less to be honest. He hasn't orders anything himself.
Not yet.
I didn't order yet, better not close this till friday :P
Boo!
I think, therefore I kern. Which seems to be what Hazelhuff did.
No.
You need to take lessons from MAX KERNING!!!!!

Germans...............
Melissa said she'll fix the problem. Too bad a test keycap is $65 :/
Hmm.....
Has she read the works of Max Kerning?
And btw the GEEK in GEEKHACK doesn't need to breath. Geeks never get fresh air any way.
P.S.
Why does she have to fix anything if she is given a SVG?
:behindsofa:
can I come out? is ripster gone?!
maybe i'll go in for 20 keycaps to try to make shipping to Canada even out a bit with first class mail. unless that many won't fit in a envelope?
No money in PP so if I do this, it would need to be a payment. (no gifting)

Just an fyi you can still gift if you have a bank account linked to your paypal.
I pulled out just to piss off RCT.
he's going to make me pay for it by adding 100 more people at 100 each
I'd order more to kick us to 1000 but I already have 24 more than I need. Will make good trades though.
Fine, I will do it.I will take 25 more, as well, bringing my total to 25. USA.
I will take 25 more, putting me at 100. Sending PM as well.
Now I know what to put on all the switch keychains I plan to make

-.- email sent.

must.....resist....buying more to top RCT...:bolt:
wait do you want 25 more? or do you want 25 in total?
25 more brings you to 30, not 25.
Planning on selling those, or just have lots of keys to manage?
Sorry, I hadn't thought I'd PM'd you an order yet.
Yep, I want 25 total, though I may increase it if RCT tells me to :P
demik,
Did I just switch countries, since I PM'ed you?
I know, I listed Canada in my Post and PM!
I know we can get around pretty fast now, but moving from Canada to the USA in 20 min... don't know how that works!
dont know, sent melissa an email asking. will post it tomorrow
enjoy it, next run will be capped. either over all or per person.
trololololol.
I say per person; capping as an overall just makes the prices naturally high. At ~10 per person it allows for good pricing and still keeps things reasonable. I do, however, want to have the option for a direct-donate to GH on the next one.
and what do you mean direct donate? add an extra fee that will go straight to GH/iMav?
yep thats rightupdated
yeah thats a good idea. That way you can total the order by how many members want.
updated
i might just charge what iMav charged and be done with it. every extra goes straight to GH/iMav. this gb basically ruined all chances of selling extras to people that missed out and using the profits to go to the site since it'll be flooded with GH keycaps now.
so mine will be triple successful ^.^
i like the idea of a dollar per keycap.
I dunno if I like the idea of flooding keycaps I think $2.50 per cap was pretty good with iMav as it generate constant people since $1 you might not always get the same amount of people and I dunno about people that order like 100 of them but that's just me.
$2-$2.50 I think is good, definitely promotes the cap to be more unique, lowers the amount being produced while still bringing in donations to geekhack instead of this mass flooding of plastics
$1 doesn't really do much as it's still quite low you can still buy 100 of them if you want
Like te OTD keycaps. U don't see a ton of those floating around like this will be. I personally liked how iMav did it.Exactly they hit a good number where theres enough but not flooded.
1000 caps is far too many is what I'm getting at. It becomes something so common that you will not get the same kind of interest. There's a fine line between making something limited and sought after and something that will cause people to lose interest. If this was a one time thing sure, but you're looking to do this once a month, there will more so many GH caps that people won't know what to do with it.
At $2.50 a cap you won't get as much orders definitely but at the same time it's not expensive, and the donation to GH could be less also but it will create a want for these keycaps instead of just mass producing plastics that people won't want.
What I want to see out of this project is something that's limited and sought after and people want to collect instead of having 1000 of these floating around with people having tons to spare
The thing with this is, at what point does it go from "I want this because I like it" to "I want this because it's cheap" which IMO ruins the feel of these keycaps and (to me) what they stand for.
But, there is no way I am paying 10+$ to ship 5 caps valued at 2,50$...that just wouldn't make sense.
This is how I feel. If the shipping was less, I would definitely get less caps. I just kind of want to get my moneys worth with the caps. International shipping HURTS!
Demik, what have you gotten yourself into... xD
I can help with the sorting if needs be.Might happen with this and the qwer Gb lol
The next price tiers are at 2,500 and 3,000.
.35 and.33 cents.

This. When I was new I lusted after a GH keycap, and when KeyboardLover gave me one it made me extremely happy. I support returning to the old pricing structure and donating proceeds to GH, or even mkawa's idea of buying a fixed number and selling them after the fact (rather than buying in beforehand), with each round funded with the proceeds from the previous.:thumb:
Next round will be more limited and orders will be open for a short time. This won't happen again lol.

Maybe you should hire some spanish/chinese guy to sort for you ; p

There is no sorting. They are all the same. Just counting and bagging!

Addresses + customs forms are the part that suck. But im going to do that while they are being made so they should be ready by the time I get them.
Clearly missing the mad Russian.

We'd only allow the mad Russian in if he were to bring all the ClickClacks for a viewing party...
*get chloroform ready* :heh:
It's always a viewing party in my Classifieds thread. More than anybody else posts around here. Also, due to frequent kidnapping attempts I have desensitized myself to chloroform.
:plane:
I have a hammer.
I have a titanium pen.
But I'm kinda antisocial.
Plus if a RipsterHater is there he'll take it from me and stick it in my eyeball or some orifice.
But you're not invited because you'll make us all buy ten titanium hammers.

congrats zzspectrez, you are order #100. you win.......nothing!
Please increase my order from 3 to 15. No I'm not greedy, I'm ordering for a few international people to forward the shipping as well. Do I need to PM to make it official?

LEARN TO READ DAMN IT.
DO NOT COME IN HERE AND SAY I WILL ORDER UNTIL WE HIT A CERTAIN AMOUNT. That helps nobody but your post count. If you wish to order until we hit 50, then post until we hit 50. I will try my hardest to update the count twice a day.
You might want to edit your post, since you are adamant about people learning to read. ;-)

Sorry I didn't catch this earlier, when it mattered to the GB, but it still matters to the grammarians and anyone trying to figure out what the hell all that giant red text means.
I feel like such a failure for not getting this to 1500.
:behindsofa:

will be sending out PMs as soon as i get hazeluff's list.
thank you.
hey, demik, i sent u a PM concerning this GB
next thing i want to go through is LoTR.. but to be honest, it looks boring as hell. im good at sitting through long movies.. but nothing about it really calls out to me
Never really called out to me. And I kind of boycotted it after watching clerks 2 lol
Harry Potter is one of my favorite movie series; my sister and I watched them in theaters together and I have recently started watching them on BlueRay again with a friend.
demik you've never seen LOTR? That is shameful.
Yeah me and my wife love them to. Waiting for my 2 girls to get older so i can start reading it to them and get them hooked on to the movies. PLan on taking us all to HP world one day.I want to go there so bad. So many of my friends have gone and they say it is nerd heaven haha.
demik you've never seen LOTR? That is shameful.
Ha neither have I. I got all the extended's in 1080p too but damn 4 hours is rough for one movie.
Watch half of each per sitting. It's more like reading the novels which are split into 6 'books'. That's how I watched it last time; I want to try cutting the movies up sometime and putting them in book order like the Star Wars re-edits that are floating around on the net.
ive only done the first 25 people. no new legend fee
He will apparently contact you via PM with an invoice of sorts. His PayPal address isn't on the OP, anyway. Just sit tight.
Sounds like a lot of fun running a GB. Seems like some skills with excel would come in handy.
Thanks HEAPS demik. Awesome group buy. I'm sorry i can't help with the sorting... that's going to suck later! Paid.
You guys write the addresses by hand!? I'd highly recommend you guys look into the mail merge feature of Microsoft Word, your hands will thank me!
Did you update the payment yet.(just checking)
anyway, Thanks for start this GB :rockon:
(please not to often so...... pain.....):doh:

I was going to use my stamps.com account but I think my free trial will expire by the time this is ready to ship.
I did, and like I said I never will again. I spread it out over the course of two months though, so it wasn't as bad as it sounds.
I'm at work. I'll update when I get some time
Put the order in this morning.
Melissa said 4-5 weeks. Still a couple more people that need to pay, but I had enough to cover the initial order. Rest is going towards shipping + supplies.

Wait... tsangan is one of them? :laser:im trying to see if he'll pay in clickclacks ^.^
lol =P
And my QWER kit. = )
down to 8 people left to pay.
after friday, im going to start breaking legs
Something will be broken, legs, kneecaps, thumbs, noses, etc.
You could break the left leg and demik the right. Or if you'd already done that then demik can just break the middle leg. :lol:
kneecaps man.
or is that just a NY thing?
Oh **** I forgot to pay >_>
that explains "tsangan1, tsangan2, tsangan3, tsangan4" in the online now area!
useless_people has contacted me, so i know the deal with him.
haven't heard anything from Colin or Goly.. and i really don't want to cancel their orders. ESPECIALLY Colin's. But I know he has paypal issues so i'll extend the due date till next weekend. if still nothing, guess i'll take the loss and cancel both orders.
But I have faith they both will come through.
Its taken care of... money should have been sent tonight but if not then my $50 just ended up on the blackjack table in Vegas.i got it :) thanks colin!
Someone mentioned this was combined with another buy? What is that?hazeluff's gb, which im shipping out also since he's busy around the time both start to ship.
still no word from Goly, going to be stuck with 21 keycaps if he doesn't pay

How about a matching key for the Exocet key set? If we could make it actually in Exocet that'd be awesome but I'm guessing it's not doable to squeeze onto a single keycap. Or just GH?
I might get the Exosetset themed or at least color matched geekhack key added to the set.
if you had combined shipping with hazel's GB and mine and are in the US, your order has been shipped. trying my hardest to ship everything out this week!
so you mailed out all the non priority orders?
just want to give my brother the heads-up on expecting packages
I don't think i can do
GEEK
HACK
in exocet.
As for why it's not GH. It's because the "Geekhack" key is like that. So It's goign to be tradition to keep it like that.
I'm sorry for asking this here, but it seems better than making a thread to ask...
What the heck is a doubleshot GB? I see a lot of threads in here with doubleshot in the title, but all I've been able to gather from looking around is that it's some sort of special keycap? (Edit: That in this particular case are customized to say Geek Hack)

I might have missed mention of this, but are there any extras available? :)
let me get rid of these extras before you guys sell, yeah?
What's the next color scheme?
^ I just got it today :-)I'm in the middle between you and demik. Where is mine~~~ :(
Do what I am planning to do with the April/May GH keys. Give them away with trades, sales and/or as gifts =D
Still haven't seen mine. Should I start worrying yet? :confused:
