HAHA - I doubt there is much appeal for these outside the GH community.

Best part - "Shipping remains the same up to orders of up to 6."

What did the novelty gb keys cost? He's selling them here for quite a nice margin too I believe.

another good reason to stay with the new pricing model that demik's using this month. that money should be going to GH...

-_-... I only bought 13 of those and I am not selling any.
I didn't know where to put this so I just put it here. and did you even see any of my comments?
Also, this is technically a 'great find' since I found this on ebay and no one else found it and it shows this person make money off gbs.

...People get so impatient. I plan to sell my 100 for $10 a piece in a few days when everyone has seller's remorse and want some stock back.

He first tried to sell off his caps as "spares" in the original GB thread. When I sent him a PM and he responded with that $16.50 or something like that, I "shamefully" responded by calling him a D-bag and said to sell his stuff in the classified ads. I kind of feel bad for doing that. It wasn't the price that annoyed me; it was his tactic of trying to sell it in the GB to people who missed out.

Yep this confirms it. I'd say he's doing fairly well so far. 35 sets sold on GH, another 10 on ebay. So 45 sets at est $12-13 profit per set, so approx $540 in profit.

The Geekhack caps on ebay do seem kind of weird, but having sold stuff on ebay I admit it's pretty smooth from listing to sale.
