nub caps - Flash 5th Sale

[nubbinator]

Sale goes live at 10AM PDT Saturday June 21, 2014


Rules:

• State which caps you want in the thread.  Sale PMs will be ignored as will posts before the sale time
• If you edit your post, you lose your place.  You post what you want and it's first come first serve.
• Please limit yourself to 3 caps.  You can make a preference list of what you want.
• All prices include US shipping and paypal fees and I generally give discounts when you buy multiple caps.  International shipping is usually an additional $5 total, and may be less depending on how many caps you buy and the shipping method you opt for.
• If you can't afford one and really want one, post in here then PM me and we can work something out.  I'm a reasonable guy who is open to barters and trades.
• I also have a handful of seconds that I will randomly be tossing in as freebies.  Do not ask for these, they are to give out at my own discretion.
• Additional freebies may be included in the sale.  This has taken shape in many ways in the past, from Iwako erasers, to customo cap bags, to other artistic experiments.

I'll likely be out looking for some new cats when the sale goes live, so if you have any questions, make sure to ask them before then.

As always, I am open to key cap color ideas and am willing to make custom color combos for you as long as the mold isn't broken, just PM me if you want to talk.  Even if it's custom, resin only caps will never go over $20 shipped within the US (barring exotic or custom stuff ordered to make it).  The metal ones I'm working on may go for a little more.

As always, thanks for your support.  You've helped me keep experimenting and playing.

Now onto the sale.

Heart Caps:  These are cultural inspired caps in their design, some if just in name.  Each one references a book, movie, or song.  Not currently pictured is Heart of Glass.

• A Clockwork Heart - $18 - iamtootallforthis

I may do a future Apocalypse Now edition Heart of Darkness.  I'm always looking for new ideas as well.


Dolly:  Dolly the Yeti is my newest flight of whimsy. I love her, but she's not the easiest cap to make since she's a quadruple shot cap.  Each one is time intensive, so they're a little more expensive.

[byker]

Do you have any topre caps going on sale? Or just MX?

[bueller]

Those heart caps are just fan-damn-tastic. Great work man!

[Frenir]

They're looking great nubs, I'm looking forward to the sale.


Are we allowed to make a preference list?

[nubbinator]

All MX for now.

Those heart caps are just fan-damn-tastic. Great work man!

Thanks man.  I just finished A Clockwork Heart tonight and pictures should be up tomorrow.

[Beca]

Is the Licorice Pastel Dolly $10 as well?

[bueller]

Thanks man.  I just finished A Clockwork Heart tonight and pictures should be up tomorrow.

Awesome, looking forward to seeing it!

[iamtootallforthis]

Yes! Another chance to get my first artisan cap. These look awesome nub, great work. Hopefully, I'll get one.

[MythicalWagyu]

Awesome stuff Nubs, very excited for a chance at some of these!

I've got the same question as Frenir; you said

Please limit yourself to 3 caps.

are we allowed to specify a preference list with more than three caps listed (ala the last KBK sale) or do you want us to post strictly the three caps our hearts most desire?

[osi]

Great looking caps sir

[iAmAhab]

Not sure if I would be able to buy a Dolly and not try to eat it...

[nubbinator]

Yes, you can make a preference list.

[tigersharkdude]

Yes, you can make a preference list.

sweet. There two caps that I really want, but would take any of their color options

[nubbinator]

Added A Clockwork Heart.  Hopefully Heart of Glass will be OP ready before the sale goes live.

[dustinhxc]

Oh man some great work here bro!

[Belfong]

I like that key puller!

[nubbinator]

Oh man some great work here bro!

Thanks man.

I like that key puller!

I do too.  I'm actually using one I've made for myself right now.  I've only heard good things from everyone I've sold or sent one too.  I believe Bunnylake is still using one as his primary cap puller.

[Belfong]

Do you just have one of that keypuller for sale tonight? Or there's more than one? I will try and stay up for the sale. I like the Yeti and the keypuller, this look really exquisite!

[nubbinator]

Just the one.  I've got two others, but I'm using them for myself.  All the others were sold or given away.

[Belfong]

Ok.. I will be there!!!!! hey guys.... look at those heart caps.. they are beautiful right? RIGHT? ?

[tigersharkdude]

Nubby, two quick questions.

1) EDIT: Question already answered above

2) Say that I only want 1 or 2 and not 3, would I state in the post that "I ONLY WANT X AMOUNT OF CAPS"?

can't edit my post but wanna say thanks and these caps are awesome. you've imrpoved so much man I'm impressed!

did my first post come too early? lol. just went by my phone clock... oops.

[tigersharkdude]

the pop up thing saying "X posts were made while you were posting" is not even cool. If anybody else seen that, you can turn off in your; Profile> Look and Layout > and CHECK "Don't warn on new replies made while posting."

[nubbinator]

Everything but Gothic Jonah is gone.  I'll be sending out PMs shortly for shipping and payment info.  Thanks everyone!

Nope, if anything, it was a little too late.  Still got a cap though.

Thanks for sharing that with people.  I know that that is an annoying little thing that not everyone remembers to turn off or knows how to turn off.

It was new to me I had never seen that before, on any forum or here, until today when it popped 4 or 5 times before my post finally posted -____-

[cmadrid]

Gl to everyone.. cool caps Nub!

[kenmai9]

put me down for Gothic Jonah as well nub?

[nubbinator]

put me down for Gothic Jonah as well nub?

Will do.

[Frenir]

I hope I get a cool bag with a heart on 

[cmadrid]

Imtotallforthis has all the hearts!  Such luck, many grats.. so jelly!

[MythicalWagyu]

Imtotallforthis has all the hearts!  Such luck, many grats.. so jelly!

Aye, we'll have to hope for the Apocalypse Now edition Heart of Darkness and brainstorm for other ideas so we can get nubbinator to make more 

[cmadrid]

Like.. a translucent 'poison' green with veins of black corruption through it.. or a heart that is half metal/half flesh

[iamtootallforthis]

Imtotallforthis has all the hearts!  Such luck, many grats.. so jelly!

I nearly lost it when I found out I got them. I'm still shaking.

[cmadrid]

Well.. if you want to let go of one of them, LMK >_<


another heart idea.. a heart with a tree growing inside of it, or maybe growing from inside with branches poking out of the heart

[byker]

I got the bleeding heart! So stoked!!

[nubbinator]

I went to start printing shipping so I could get the boxes in the mail today for those who already paid, but Paypal is being stupid and won't let me print the labels.  I'll try again tomorrow. 

Everything will ship no later than this coming Saturday, but hopefully sooner.

[cmadrid]

How do I pay you =)

[nubbinator]

How do I pay you =)

Answer the PM I sent you :

[cmadrid]

Rofl, I was looking at my name instead of where it ACTUALLY shows the messages.. I've been a lurker most of my geekhack life.. first time I've tried to get in on a sale =)

[nubbinator]

We all start somewhere.  Hope we see you around a bit more on the rest of the site.

[cmadrid]

I've been a member for a couple years I think.. but most of my posts are pretty recent!

hi nubb, I have responded to your PM.. in case you missed it....

Thanks.  I didn't miss it, I just was out most of the afternoon and evening yesterday, so didn't really get a chance to respond to anything after about noon local time.  Your invoice will be out shortly.

[Badwrench]

Good job on the sale buddy.   

[dustinhxc]

If whoever got that Visitor cap would like to sell it, send me a message please! Nice caps nubs.

[cmadrid]

Paid!  Looking forward to my first artisan cap

[Fire Brand]

Looking good with these, missed out myself ohh well next time ehh, also although I couldn't see it I just wanted to give you a idea for a key, what about a Building brick keycap such as Lego/megablocks just thought you might like a idea and I'm not good enough to execute it but it would be nice, anyway keep up the good work

PS: Add glitter to the Nubbkey mixing vat please <3

[Frenir]

Thank you for a smooth sale, I'm looking forward to my cap

[nubbinator]

Everything is being dropped at the post shortly.  All labels have been printed out and everything is boxed up.

Most of you got some sort of discount as well, mainly because no one ever accused me of being a good businessman.  And everyone will be getting an extra.  For some, that extra is a cap, some it's a bag, some it's both.  Those extra caps are all seconds in one way or another, but still interesting.

Thanks again for all your support everyone and I hope you enjoy the caps.  Hopefully I'll be able to do my metal caps soon.  I'm just trying to figure some things out with them.

[tigersharkdude]

Thats preety darn fast turn around time, le woot

[nubbinator]

Thats preety darn fast turn around time, le woot

Would've been faster if Paypal wasn't being a PITA yesterday.  Hopefully it should all be to the US people no later than Thursday with most arriving Tuesday or Wednesday.  That's generally how fast USPS has been for me.

[Belfong]

Discounts and extra! Wow! very nice of you, nubbs! Thank you.

[cmadrid]

Awesome!  I didn't expect things to go so quickly.. thanks!

Nub, they just arrived and I can't thank you enough.

Glad to hear you got them already.  Even more so to hear you like them.  I can't wait to see them on a board.

[cmadrid]

I can't wait to see what you come up with next!  Also.. hopefully more hearts for sale

[cmadrid]

I thought of another heart cap idea too... heart shaped box cap? 

[iamtootallforthis]

Nub, they just arrived and I can't thank you enough.

Glad to hear you got them already.  Even more so to hear you like them.  I can't wait to see them on a board.

They will be placed onto my board later today and more photos will be added. I really do like the heart of glass even though you said it isn't perfect. Photos don't even do them justice.

[tigersharkdude]

hey Nubbinator, how tall are the Heart caps? Any pics of a regular cap next to one of them?

Sorry for the poor photo quality but here is the Heart of Darkness next to a WASD cap, SP DSA blank, Cherry ABS Doubleshot Br key, SA profile function key.

[cmadrid]

!@#%^!@ those hearts are so cool

[nubbinator]

Rules are almost the same as before:

• Say which cap you want in a reply in this thread.
• Limit 1 cap per person
• All prices include US shipping and paypal fees. International shipping is usually an additional $5.
• If you can't afford one and really want one, post in here then PM me and we can work something out.  I'm a reasonable guy who is open to barters and trades.
• Most orders will not come with freebies since there was only one second and I'm out of bags.

• Presidential Ba'Man - $10 since I'm not 100% happy with how he turned out.  He's solid and semi-trans.

More

• Blood and Bone Visitor - $12

• Freedom isn't free Dolly - $18, minor color bleed on her face between the eyes.  Named this because she cost me a pair of shoes

• Liberty's Light Dolly - $20

Man!! I just posted in the other Post your nubs thread that I wish I could get more Dolly. And now I missed a Dolly? When did this flash sale happen!?

Damn, my heart is still sitting in customs.. Been there for over a week

[nubbinator]

Man!! I just posted in the other Post your nubs thread that I wish I could get more Dolly. And now I missed a Dolly? When did this flash sale happen!?

Around noon Pacific time.  Don't worry, I think my next sale will be almost exclusively Dollies and hearts...unless I come up with a new design I want to try out or an old one I want to rehash.

Damn, my heart is still sitting in customs.. Been there for over a week

Let me know when it arrives.  If it doesn't, well have to arrange something.

And if it helps, I had something from China take almost 2 months before arriving.

[Belfong]

Damn, my heart is still sitting in customs.. Been there for over a week

If it's any consolation, my F2 Blue Clack is somewhere out there in the mail or custom for over 30 days

Thanks guys.. Hoping it was just because of the american and Canadian holidays in the same week.. This is my second time buying caps, and the first one never arrived either haha.

Just wanted to shout out and say how amazing your caps are looking.

Well done good sir!
