[IC] CCnG ROUND2!!!
« on: Tue, 19 February 2013, 17:19:26 »
The moment you've all been waiting for..

CCnG!!!!

I think it is time to host a GB for this key set instead of having everyone scrounge around for a set and paying 200 dollars for one!

I'm just going to put the bare minimum of what needs to be done up here for right now, and others can chime in and we can add more!

If there is enough interest shown in the next couple of days here is what I will do/is already being worked on!

TO DO:
- I asked Batmann if he could create some mockups of the base, mods, tsangan, numpad, iso, and some spacebars maybe? Hopefully they're ready in the next couple of days!
- Will need to get in contact with Melissa from SP and ask for maybe a couple pictures of the colors used for all those who don't know.
- Also need to ask her about pricing per tier, i.e. 50 sets ordered = $30 or something along those lines.
- Create a googledoc for people to express interest in what they would order if this were a GB (hopefully we can move this thread over to a GB soon)!

- I know I am missing something important, but please let me know what I can also include to really get my first hosting of a GB going!!!!

13762-0

This is the colors were going with for those that don't know, and right now this GB will be going through SP!

Great news though.. I've decided to make it so that there will be a CCoG and GoCC option for all key sets (base, mods, tsangan, 17key)!
If were gonna do a GB might as well go all out!  :p

Please Fill out Form! This is not your actual order, just an interest check to see where we are before I make a GB thread
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1inXq-JxBt1WhfK2seS9xtiNZq5D8zcmkWgYUHpuu5sc/viewform


We've got about 20 interested in the first day! I would say thats pretty good? I still need to contact Melissa, I had to unexpectedly work today so I apologize for not updating!

Batmann drew up some awesome mockups!

Base (GoCC is normal type, but both will be available hopefully)
13823-1

Mods ( CCoG is normal type, but both will be available hopefully)
13825-2

Fullset
13827-3

Batmann is working on the others! I think he did an awesome job!

If I could get $200 I would, but I highly doubt that I could get that much


Any chance this could be a GMK set?

Honestly I will host it for whatever the majority population that are interested want! Sorry for the noobness, but how many options are available along with GMK?

If you want this buy to come out relatively fast. just use SP. Enough people like them still, and GMK buys are not going anywhere fast atm.

Yeah that is what I've heard, and I don't really want a huge wait :/

I plan on emailing Melissa tomorrow expressing our interest and getting the pricing and what not! Will turn this into a GB thread once I hear back from her and get the mock ups from my main man Batmann!

Here I thought the Green Love had finally disappeared forever, despite paying all up for the first round and never receiving a single cap.

This time make sure you are offering a "Tracking Number" with shipping and no more 'trust me I sent it in the post' routine (I got suckered to many times before).  This way you have proof you actually sent the items plus it gives me an idea whereabouts it's located along the transit course.

Besides all the Professionals here on Geekhack use tracking for all of their sales, which I always now buy from exclusively.

Hope you get this Group Buy going.  Good luck.

I totally agree, I will have a tracking number for every order! I always try and provide one on every sale. Hopefully we can go through this with only a few minor setbacks, but if it goes anything like that DSA Retro GB that Matt is holding, we will be sitting pretty! I have to say that has been a flawless GB and I'm hoping we can be as flawless!

If you are going to follow his footsteps then you can't go wrong.  Just state clearly when the GB will start and end. Also the end-date for all the "dead-presidents" roundup.

Don't be afraid to ask Matt3o how he avoided any pitfalls with his GB, because after all this is still a forum about sharing the good stuff around to all members.

A Group Buy is still so intimidating to anyone wanting to run it for the FIRST time.  Don't be shy to ask for help when arranging this.

Any chance this could be a GMK set?

The biggest issue I could see with GMK would be MoQ.  I think most of us can agree that klaxon ended up being fairly popular (I don't think it was the highest purchased ever (hell, retro is walking all over that, especially with the help from our friendly neighborhood retail partners buying large amounts(don't know why no one did that for klaxon, but moving on...))) and it wasn't halfway to what's needed by GMK.

There are a lot of parenthetical additions to that, geez, tj l2writeenglish.

I really don't want to wait for the cherry legends, although they would be awesome. They aren't really going to well for others either, is what I've heard atleast.

DSA is for retro keysets, IMO.

These colors will be WCK and VBQ, right?

Also, Cherry font, blech. WYSE font legends all the way. Or get the Koreans to let us use their legends from the original CCnG. :D

So mixing vintage profile and non vintage color is a sin? I don't know if there is some unwritten law about it.
Just curious.

The thing is, I already have a normal set of CCnG and I don't care too much for it.  I think the profile change would bump its love over the top.

Now, if enough people were interested, I'd totally run a flash GB on klaxon 2: DSA Redgaloo.

Not a sin. I just don't think I would be interested in a bunch of DSA profile keycap sets. I like the C64 look, and white on blue would be cool, but that's about where it ends for me. Personal preference.

DSA is for retro keysets, IMO.

These colors will be WCK and VBQ, right?

Also, Cherry font, blech. WYSE font legends all the way. Or get the Koreans to let us use their legends from the original CCnG. :D
So mixing vintage profile and non vintage color is a sin? I don't know if there is some unwritten law about it.
Just curious.

Not a sin. I just don't think I would be interested in a bunch of DSA profile keycap sets. I like the C64 look, and white on blue would be cool, but that's about where it ends for me. Personal preference.

White on blue made me think of cream cheese on blue, which would look as good or better.  I should put these ideas in my after klaxon thread.  Assuming I don't go crazy between now and klaxon ending.

The thing is, I already have a normal set of CCnG and I don't care too much for it.  I think the profile change would bump its love over the top.

Now, if enough people were interested, I'd totally run a flash GB on klaxon 2: DSA Redgaloo.

Yeah, I get it. I have one original Korean CCnG, and two sets of GH CCnG. So I don't know why I would buy another set just like it, but I probably would.  Something that would make it different should make me want it more, but for some reason DSA profile doesn't excite me with CCnG.

LOL.

I guess because I already have enough CCnG, I really would like to see a different colorway. The CCoG colorway would be something new, just like Klaxon with it's WoR base.

What I really want, I guess I'm saying here, is for someone to run a flash GB (like Matt3o's) with OCKC or SkiDolcha, and leave the GMK crowd to the Triumph Adler and Handarbeit.

This time make sure you are offering a "Tracking Number" with shipping and no more 'trust me I sent it in the post' routine (I got suckered to many times before).  This way you have proof you actually sent the items plus it gives me an idea whereabouts it's located along the transit course.

Keep in mind not all tracking from American postal services actually update once it leaves America.

My next one, if there is one, will try to mimic that style at least a little.  I'll probably keep mine open a bit longer and have closing dates set before I start, but yeah.  Just got to decide on a color scheme.

Yeah I have to admit I got excited cause I saw dsa profile. It made me think of the WoB dsa talk over on matt3o GB and the excitement took over.

Definitely worth the interest and money to develop.  I don't know the DSA profile is the HOT potato now and would love getting it on other well known key-sets.

You will get interest, the CC&G has always been a hit here on Geekhack and on DT.  Hence running the 2ND order round will be cool, but having it as a DSA, that would melt the Google order sheet.

Nice to read your thread. I also wanted a CCnG GB and asked GMK:

400 Set minimum(80Dollar per set) 104Keys.

So there is not a real chance to get the CCnG with original Cherry Profile i think : (.

I will make a interest check for that particular issue.

On another note, for the form I'm making in googledocs, does anyone know how to make the Paypal, Shipping Address, and US/International columns hidden so that people won't be able to see them when I publish the link to the responses form? I can't seem to figure it out!

When I made my google doc, I had one doc that took order and another to check orders. In the 2nd form, you link certain columns from the first onto the second as if they were sheets on Excel



I can't remember exactly how it did it, but some quick googleing should answer all

No it wasn't intentionally, I may have seen that then repeated it as a joke which it obviously was. I was just trying to get my point across that they could be cheaper by doing a GB!
