Good luck with your group buy!

I see, instead of a mass order, you went for cheap Chinese. Chances are good that your keys ship faster from China than Round 3 from Wisconsin.

It's private message. Just shoot him a PM say that you're interested in a set. That's all.

kaiserreich · « **Reply #16 on:** Sat, 18 June 2011, 00:52:48 »

Apologies for blowing your bubble again, after the DK1087 one, but I want to clarify something about the spacebars
The Black one is not black, the taobao site says it is in Dark Blue. Most of the sellers list it as Dark Blue too

noodles256 · « **Reply #17 on:** Sat, 18 June 2011, 01:07:11 »

thank you for clarification. Haven't had interest in that so it's not trouble

litster · « **Reply #18 on:** Sat, 18 June 2011, 01:10:30 »

Most of us know this, but the listing also says the spacebar doesn't work on SteelSeries (赛睿 in Chinese) or Cherry (樱桃 in Chinese).

So it wouldn't work on Filco/Ducky/Poker etc?

kaiserreich · « **Reply #20 on:** Sat, 18 June 2011, 01:13:49 »

SS Cherry and Leopolds have different alignment, than FILCO /DUCKY/Poker(?)
Theres a comment on it not fitting a Rapoo V5, but nobody here uses that one anyway

noodles256 · « **Reply #21 on:** Sat, 18 June 2011, 01:13:52 »

thats what I assumed

thanks for clarification lit and rip -ster

litster · « **Reply #22 on:** Sat, 18 June 2011, 01:14:32 »

Sorry, should have done more of the translation. It says it works on most mechanical keyboards except SteelSeries and Cherry. I guess most here means Filco, Ducky, Poker.

Still waiting on payment from some people, I just paid out of pocket so we could get the items faster!

noodles256 · « **Reply #35 on:** Mon, 20 June 2011, 20:21:47 »

I haven't heard back in a day so I am guessing the transaction went smoothly. Obook is notorious for never contacting it's buyers. Cross yo fingers

Making me a little nervous. Maybe we got the last few sets?

noodles256 · « **Reply #45 on:** Tue, 21 June 2011, 21:54:57 »

don't worry about paying. Seller said it was out of stock. Silly agent must have not understood when I asked for him to make sure it was in stock. I am canceling the whole order, waiting for confirmation from my agent and then refunds will be sent out.

Sorry about this guys

noodles256 · « **Reply #46 on:** Tue, 21 June 2011, 22:10:26 »

some refunds sent out since I didn't use their payments toward the overall total. Still waiting on $350 refunded and then the rest will be sent out.

Really sorry about this whole ordeal guys.

litster · « **Reply #47 on:** Tue, 21 June 2011, 22:21:41 »

Sorry to hear that it didn't work out.

Next time give taobaobee.com a try. I chatted with their agent live online, and asked her specifically to check that the seller has a white Filco mx red in stock. She found a seller out of a ton listed with this item, and then she was able to confirm with me that she found a seller with it in stock, in real time. And then I transferred money to complete the transaction. But I can understand it is a lot harder to get a seller with so many items in stock.

noodles256 · « **Reply #48 on:** Tue, 21 June 2011, 22:27:57 »

yea, that would have been really nice. You can't use paypal with taobee though so kind of scared about that

litster · « **Reply #49 on:** Tue, 21 June 2011, 22:31:19 »

I can confirm taobaobee is legit. Using credit card is fine. I did get an inquiry from my Visa card about the charge, but the charge went through nonetheless. Later on, the agent said they would let me use paypal next time if I want to. So it is possible, once you have done business with them one time.

Maybe next time.

noodles256 · « **Reply #50 on:** Tue, 21 June 2011, 22:44:26 »

i will try that next time or maybe this time. 0.o

reaper · « **Reply #51 on:** Tue, 21 June 2011, 22:52:42 »

Aww. man.. that's a bummer. I was looking forward to those orange modifiers kit. lol Oh well, there's always next round.

kaiserreich · « **Reply #52 on:** Tue, 21 June 2011, 23:31:34 »

Sorry it didn't worked out. I might have bought one of the last sets for the engraved white

noodles256 · « **Reply #53 on:** Tue, 21 June 2011, 23:40:34 »

looks like the order may still be completed, but without the white engraved. Not exactly what I wanted to do since the shipping won't be worth it. I'll let you guys know what is going on

noodles256 · « **Reply #54 on:** Tue, 21 June 2011, 23:45:30 »

okay, order is still going on, but without the white engraved kit

reaper · « **Reply #55 on:** Tue, 21 June 2011, 23:47:41 »

Cool. So you'll be refunding just the $37 for the white engraved kit, right? Oh and thanks for doing this. =P

noodles256 · « **Reply #56 on:** Wed, 22 June 2011, 00:06:22 »

yes, I will be calculating refunds after I get the refund from them

I'm sure it will be restocked soon.

daerid · « **Reply #60 on:** Thu, 23 June 2011, 02:58:23 »

So we still getting refunds? Or just waiting for the restock? Or are some of us getting white engraved and others not? Can I possibly ask more questions?

noodles256 · « **Reply #61 on:** Thu, 23 June 2011, 02:59:53 »

Refunds will be settled friday. No white engraved sets at all

Waiting for refund from my agent

How did you come up short? I mean did someone forget to pay or drop out from this group buy or something?

noodles256 · « **Reply #64 on:** Sat, 25 June 2011, 09:52:28 »

international shipping not being split between 14 people and me picking up all the slack.

Let me know if you didn't charge enough. I feel bad that you lost out on this group buy.

reaper · « **Reply #66 on:** Sat, 25 June 2011, 10:24:11 »

Yup, let us know so we all can pitch in. You shouldn't come up short and have to pay out of your own pocket on any group buy.

noodles256 · « **Reply #67 on:** Sat, 25 June 2011, 14:52:36 »

i don't want to charge anyone any more than they had to pay. I'll just swallow the pill this time.
