Title: [GB] Ragnorock's NyanCaps and "Tri Triangle" Group Buy [SHIPPED]
Post by: Ragnorock on Sun, 13 November 2011, 23:20:27
So this time around I'm going to try and optimize things a bit by putting everything I'm running in one thread. I'm also going to try to spare everyone the extreme longcat post that my last order threads started with to make it easier to find any details. (Edit: seems like I failed again lmao) However if you're looking for more clarification on anything then please do go back and check this thread (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?22445-Starcraft-2-Doubleshots-Round-2.22-You-can-(haz)-nao.-(ORDER-THREAD)&p=422954&viewfull=1#post422954) for reference... most of it is the same.

I should mention now, that while I have a strong case for why the "Triforce" cannot be copyrighted and we should be able to have it made, Signature Plastics retains sole discretion on which keycaps they will produce. If I start to collect orders and they say they will not make it, then all orders for it will be dropped. I will not be collecting money until that has been sorted out. (As of now they will be producing it)

What is being offered:

NyanCat PBT Dyesublimated keys

(With blue stars above the rainbow)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]31906[/ATTACH]
Test keys, the top row of white keycaps are the only ones that are on the correct keycap color. The rainbow will be more wavy and the stars will be blue as in the other pictures.

These keys will be standard backspace size and row 1/4 (Depending on which row numbering scheme you follow... they fit both the Function row and `1234567890-= keys)

The idea is to have Nyancat as the backspace, with a trail of rainbow all the way across the number row behind her (I'm just going to go ahead and assume Nyancat is a girl because its more moe.)

You can of course, forego this option and just get the backspace. However if you do want to do the full row, the number of 1x keys you want are 7 "Up" and 6 "Down" keys. Other than that, the buyer is free to order however many keys they want of each kind to make the rainbow as long as they desire. Overall the difference of the rainbow is slight, but the variance in the stars helps provide the illusion that each key is different, and not that you have an entire row of identical keys... when really they just alternate. is important to note that the backspace key ends on a "Down" so it should be followed first by an "Up" key for maximum Nyan.

Doubleshot "Triforce" key, available in both Esc Row 1/4 and Mod size.

Rules and Notes

Payment by Paypal only, do not order if you do not have a verified account yet, and get one if you want these.

Country must be specified with your order, US, CAN or whatever country you're in.

My time is not free, I'm orchestrating this group buy because I want these keys myself, but I cannot be asked to spend the great deal of time that this requires without some compensation. I feel it's pretty reasonable for me to ask for $1 out of the shipping cost as a handling fee. That isn't any great deal of profit but I think that's pretty fair since anyone else could have stepped up and run this show and nobody did. This has already been discussed and the feedback I've gotten has been positive so if you have any complaints please enjoy the round 4 ordering process. :flypig:

No trolls allowed. (Except for Ripster) >.>

I will be ordering extras, how many depends on our total orders and quantity discounts, but there will be extras, and I plan on getting a lot of them. However to encourage and reward everyone for buying them in the group buy itself, expect them to be marked up if you are buying leftovers.

Instructions

1. Specify which keys you want in both a response to this thread and a PM. I am tallying orders from PMs, not from responses to this thread. The only difference between your reply and PM is that you include your Paypal email and your shipping address this time[/SIZE][/U][/B]in the PM.[/B] I will be sending the Paypal invoice to this email. When you get that email, please pay immediately, there won't be much time if you want to get these by December.
     -The PM should also include which country you are in, US or Canada etc. Please put Nyan or Triforce somewhere in the PM title. You can edit your order as many times as you want up until orders close and invoices start going out. Just be sure to send another pm and indicate somewhere in it that you want to change an order and it isn't a new one.

2. Check for your name in the list of confirmed orders in the OP. Expect it to be updated generally within 48 hours, if you don't see it, I haven't gotten your order yet and you need to repost/resend your PM. If I didn't add you to the list it may be because YOU DID IT WRONG. So double check you shiz and make sure it's correct before resending. I will try my best to respond back to clear up any confusion but don't count on it.

3. Wait for the orders to close, and when they do, expect an email from me asking for payment. I'm going to be calculating everyone's individual cost via a really cool excel doc I've whipped up and it's kinda what my major is so there shouldn't be any errors. Nevertheless, if you do the math based upon the final count in the OP and calculate your cost to be different, then respond ASAP to clear it up. When you pay the invoice, your shipping address will probably be included, but I will be shipping to the address in your PM over what is in Paypal.

4. Wait for keycaps to show up. I will be providing updates in new posts as my work progresses so keep an eye on the thread.

50 keys         $3.54 / key
75 keys         $2.63 / key
100 keys       $2.17 / key
250 keys       $1.26 / key
500 keys       $0.98 / key
750 keys       $0.89 / key
1000 keys     $0.85 / key
1500 keys     $0.80 / key

250 keys       $2.96 / key
500 keys       $2.69 / key
+ $80 distributed between all the keys for the artwork fee. Since this is calculated from the exact final count of keys, I won't know the final price per key until orders close... but obviously if we order tons of keys its going to be really insignificant. I covered this for everyone last time fyi, since I forgot to include it from the start. Didn't forget this time.

Triforce

25 keys         $4.38 / each
50 keys         $2.43 / each

200 keys      $1.24 / each
250 keys      $1.14 / each
500 keys      $0.94 / each
 + $25 for the cutting fee... same deal as above.

Quantity discounts are not shared between keys. For example, the "Up" rainbow key counts separately than the "down" key even though they're the same size and pricing structure.

Another note on quantity discounts that caused some drama in the past. Many other group buys have been run, including my previous ones where the order count reaches a point where the overall cost of ordering at the next quantity discount is actually cheaper than ordering the lesser current quantity. From everything I know, just about everyone I know of has ordered up to that next discount, and used the savings to fund the purchase of extras. This time around, for the sake of full disclosure, I'm mentioning it up front. It depends on how the counts end up, but I will most likely be sharing the discount with everyone when I do my "extras" order up to calculations. That means that if the count hits 130 and I decide to order 150, I may charge everyone the 150 price when it comes time to collect money... or I may not. It all depends on how much its going to cost me to do that... if its a ton, then I think its reasonable for everyone participating to chip in for the purchase of the extras. The reason being is that if I can't buy any significant amount of extras, I can't sell enough to make it worth the effort, and I won't be running any more group buys. Most of you already know all of this and are still more than happy to be a part of this group buy and all the others. If that poses any sort of problem with you, feel free to send me a PM and we can hopefully work something out. I really like this community and I want everyone to benefit, I'm not trying to profiteer off of everyone. ¬.¬

Shipping + Handling

US Options:
$4.50 ($3.50 + $1 handling) Bubble Mailer (Preferred)
$6.20 ($5.20 + $1 handling... Flat rates went up in price) For a flat rate box that may be necessary if you order a large quantity of keys.

Canada Options:
$6 US dollars. ($5 + $1 handling) Bubble Mailer
$15 Flat rate box (You guys get how the handling works by now right?) Flat rate boxes to Canada aren't significantly cheaper than international flat rate box rates.

I will be mailing them from the US this time, so expect them to ship out with the rest and take its sweet time through customs like every other international buyer has to deal with.

International:
$10 Bubble envelope
$15 flat rate box

Bubble mailers are cheaper for everyone and easier for me to deal with, so if possible I'd prefer everyone to opt for those.

Paypal fees:

3% + $0.30 and is calculated in the invoicing. If you must gift it, arrangements must be made via PM.

Sample order PM:

Nyancat:

1 x Nyancat Backspace
7 x Rainbow Up
6 x Rainbow Down

Triforce:

3 x Triforce Esc
6 x Triforce Modifer

REMEMBER, for your own privacy, do not include your address or email in your post within the thread, but DO include it in your PM! The post within the thread is unofficial and only serves to show the community how popular the group buy is. Don't be a derp!

Order counter:

Nyancat -           143

Yeah the prices for Dyesubs by keycap are really steep until you get into quantities of significant number. The reason the Portal GB was pretty cheap for how many keys you got is because we did it as a set and since we ordered 100 sets, we got 1300 keys.

Don't worry though, if necessary, I'll carry this GB myself! Lmao.

Ya, its a bummer, too bad we cant really do anything about it except get more people to buy them lol.

I see that people are doing 7 up, 6 down, but isn't it the other way? The keys ` 2 4 6 8 0 + (7 of them) have rainbows that are lower down along the keys while the others (6 of them) have rainbows that are higher up along the key.

Post by: Ragnorock on Mon, 14 November 2011, 00:25:22
Oh. Right. Forgot to put those in. Gimme a bit to edit the OP.

And Oneproduct I'm pretty sure its 7 up but you can order whatever way you want. You want it to alternate, meaning since it ends on down, you want the next key to start on up.

We originally wanted more of an arc, but doing so makes it look too different from the original video.

I may decrease If we don't hit the bigger discounts. But from the looks of how many people are getting per order, it looks ok.

I don't about the "gold" you chose. = / Seems like a very dull color. I'd prefer something like YCG/YCF on VCS (but VV is ok with me too).

I'm pretty sure that the Triforce symbol cannot be copyrighted and is not. But it is trademarked as "Triforce". So basically we should be able to do this, but wouldn't be able to sell it as "Triforce" and even then trademarked things only applies to a things in the trademarked catagories.

It shouldn't be and you shouldn't be able to also. Its been around before nintendo used it for LoZ. Also very basic geometric shapes/recursive mathamatical shape (Serpenski triagnlkes) and a ton of other stuff.

Ugh, so demanding Colin. Jeeze. There's so many orders already there's really no way I'm going to get them done tonight, plus I have a date to play 3v3s with SlayerS_Eve. Don't worry guys, if you've sent a PM, you're probably good. Unless you forgot something, like a bunch have. I'll deal with those later.

News: I got approval for the Tri Triangle keycap, and Melissa is sending me color samples. I also got quotes on red on black doubleshot 87 key sets, so I'll be throwing up an IC for that shortly. I sent her the updated NyanVGs and the SVG for Tri-angle, so we should be ready to go once orders close. Based on the numbers I'm seeing, we're going to be hitting some pretty epic price breaks. GJ GH, well done. Will probably be closing this in 3 weeks from the start day.

Ugh, so demanding Colin. Jeeze. There's so many orders already there's really no way I'm going to get them done tonight, plus I have a date to play 3v3s with SlayerS_Eve. Don't worry guys, if you've sent a PM, you're probably good. Unless you forgot something, like a bunch have. I'll deal with those later.

News: I got approval for the Tri Triangle keycap, and Melissa is sending me color samples. I also got quotes on red on black doubleshot 87 key sets, so I'll be throwing up an IC for that shortly. I sent her the updated NyanVGs and the SVG for Tri-angle, so we should be ready to go once orders close. Based on the numbers I'm seeing, we're going to be hitting some pretty epic price breaks. GJ GH, well done. Will probably be closing this in 3 weeks from the start day.

What what what? @_@ Did you make up the SlayerS_Eve bit? Cos im jelly. I love any play from the SlayerS team, specially if it's the only girl.

Lol. Dude she pretty much all killed OGS in a televised match yesterday, they were down 2-1 and they put her in... she then proceeded to tool Hero Nada and MC. She's one of the best players in the world without a doubt.

Last weak SlayerS played against IM and they were down 0-3 and they put her in... She was one extractor away from a reverse all kill in a base race vs Nestea after beating MVP, Losira, and Seed.

Funny thing is, female pro gamers get so much **** they said she was terrible because she lost to Nestea... after tearing MvP to pieces. Lol

Needless to say, I get absolutely tooled by her... when she plays one handed.

Rofl.

Also she's about the epitome of moe Asian.

What televised match are we talking about here, name of the tournament at the very least, TL has NOTHING on this, and normally they will have everything starcraft related >_>

TV, not internet stream. Its not like the Pro SC2 teams only play for GOMtv.net.

They play various showmatches with a lot of money on the line. TL wouldn't have anything on this because they usually only find stuff already on the internet. Believe me I would kill to see some of these games. This girl has the skill to be in Code S without a doubt in my mind. I'd say more but I've learned to respect her privacy.

Fyi, I nearly got banned from TL.net for talking about this, they thought I was trolling. I'm not, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't go around bringing it up again since the condition for me not being banned was to stop talking about it there.

Err I don't mean to doubt you but anything sc2 related would be on TL.

Televised matches would be streamed by streamers, always. Showmatch needs viewers, and publicity, which this clearly got none. A lot of people on TL follow Korean news and some live in Korea, they do not just get their information online.

Showmatches with people like Nestea, MVP, MC, NaDa would not _NEVER_ get over looked, even B teamers playing games TL would know.

None the less if you say she did I can't really argue with you

Negative. I wish it was. I have a friend living there who gets to train and play with them and ****. Its extremely not fair.

And what about your PM? I'm not sending out invoices until orders close, so if you don't want to send me you address now then I'll just have to wait till then to put it in my address document for this group buy.

Also having only gone through 15 buyers, we're at 20 backspace keys, and nearly 100 of each kind of rainbow key, with 24 esc triforce and 16 Mod Triforce. We could use some more Mod Triforce keys, but those got started late. Everything else looks like its on pace to be well above what I expected. I'm going to have to get in touch with Melissa for 1000 keycap discounts on 1x dyesubs lol.

Edit: You guys can doubt me all you want, it doesn't matter to me, why do you think I don't go around telling everyone. Just wanted to give a good reason why I wasn't staring at spreadsheets all evening.

If you're looking for counts, we're going to be ordering at least 150 (I would like to hit 250) nyans and at least 500 rainbows of each kind. Triforce is going to break 100 or 150 at least.

My time is not free, I'm orchestrating this group buy because I want these keys myself, but I cannot be asked to spend the great deal of time that this requires without some compensation.


I know your busy and all but taking a quick count doesn't hurt and it really doesn't take too much time. After all we are paying a $1 each for your time to take counts and stay on top of this GB. Letting buyers know the current amount and price encourages them to buy more to reach a certain count. Collin's GB is a great example of this.
It only took me 10 minutes to take a quick count from all the responses on this thread.

Dude, I don't need your snide comments, we've already been over that the $1 is insignificant and is actually there just for the packaging costs. Thanks for taking the quick counts, I really didn't have 10 mins this morning to do that. I feel that rather than explaining a bunch of my personal life that I don't really feel like sharing anyways, you can just understand that I'm doing this on my free time, and if there isn't any, then nothing gets done.

Big no-no's in peace making dialogue... "i know..., but" "he/she does better job" "we paid $, therefore" "only took me"

Instead of all that, you could have only posted the count and received praise.

There's no need to get hostile with anyone in this GB, there's only a small handful of people who organizes these things, because quite frankly, it's a pain in the ass... paying a $1 handling fee does not entitle you to demand things.

Yes, I come in here to check the total quantity, but notice the OP has not been updated since the 15th, it's not the end of the world, eventually, we'll all get our caps and everyone will be satisfied. It's not like we place our orders with the condition that the quantity meets a certain price break, the further reduced price is just a bonus.

If I offend you, I apologize.

Sorry to derail

I'm not sure what you mean by much longer, but I suspect the answer is going to be no. I'm not going to leave this open for months because everyone wants these keys asap and I like to get group buys done with and start on the next one... none of this "I'll leave it open for 3-6 months while it fades into obscurity" stuff. Its going to be open for a month tops, but like I said, unless there's good reason to do otherwise, probably 3 weeks.

I dunno about you guys, but I can't reply to any PMs until the Google warning is gone. (I don't want to turn off the protection.) Nothing goes through. It also makes it extremely cumbersome to go through all the PMs with having to click the windows every time I go to a different page- thus why the thread still hasn't been updated. Never fear though, the group buy is still going and I've just been doing the Thanksgiving thing like I'm sure many others here have as well. Hopefully the warning gets removed soon and we can get back to it. To anyone who has sent me a PM, if it is in your sentbox, then I've gotten it, and if applicable will reply when I can. I'll be home by tomorrow night, so hopefully it is fixed by then.

Dave out.

It can fit lots. Like over a hundred. Bubble mailers are simpler and cheaper to deal with so I prefer those but for those that want a box they can for sure get one. You only NEED one if you are ordering like 50 caps or more.

Yeah I'd like to get payment collected and put the order in before school gets out around the 18th of december, so lets go with a tentative close date of the 10th of December.


Other than that, he has said about 3 weeks, but I believe this is the current close date? Don't take my word for it though, he might have changed his mind since then.

OKAY, so I've finally gotten everything up to speed, check the first post for the new counts. I've already sent a request for further discounts after 500 keys for the rainbow keycaps, so those will be along shortly. They will both be bought at 500+ thats for sure. It would be REALLY NICE if we could hit 250 for the Backspace keys, just sayin.

As always, if your name isn't on the list, I either missed your PM among the mass of ones I just went through, or you didn't send me one with everything I need, so check what you sent is right and send me a new one!

Sorry about the delay guys, took me quite a bit to get caught up on everything.

The triforce? Yeah it got approved a while ago, I thought I told everyone when it did?

I just told her the only thing copyrightable is the name they call the symbol... so as long as they don't market it as a Triforce keycap and neither do I, its fine.

So orders seem to be slowing down, and thus I am going to go ahead and close it on the 10th. I would really like to get a lot more backspace keys, and a few more triforce keys.

As of this moment, with the counts where they are at right now, I'm either going to be buying up to 100 for both the triforces and sharing the discount with everyone, so the 100 times price would be applicable, or buying up to 150 and offering everyone the 100 discount. Does what I was saying in the OP make sense now? Similar things would happen for the Nyancat backspace, though I don't have discounts for 150 from Melissa yet. I'll see if she's offering those.

Alright, almost closed here, anyone want to adjust their quantities now that numbers are firming up? Its too bad Nyancat Backspace didn't make it to 250, would have really liked to see that.

Also I have a question of everyone...

Obviously distributing the Nyancat setup fee between all of the Nyancat keys makes sense, but what about the shipping cost from SP to me? Last time it was $17.50 or something like that, and I just covered it myself. I was thinking it would be unfair to do it by keycap over each and every order, because those that ordered more keys would be unfairly weighted in paying for it. A better idea to me would be to just divide it by the number of buyers and add it to the "Shipping Cost" in my invoices. If you've ordered through me before, you know what I'm referring to. Seeing as how the shipping cost doubles as where I can add in the $.30 Paypal takes with minimal difference, this makes sense to me.

Also bear in mind that we're talking about $0.24 at the moment with 74 orders, so not that big of a deal.

250*1.26/2.17 = 146 (rounded up) --> orders needed to reach the 250 price break

We already have 116 orders.
146-116 = 30

We have 74 buyers so basically if half the people order one more we'll make it and those people that did could double their amount of nyancat backspaces for $0.35 (2*1.26-2.17 = 0.35, if they had only one ordered before, which is the average of 116/74).

I would advertise this fact and you'll get the extras you need to hit 250. This would give us 104 extra nyancat backspaces for free. You could everyone a free nyancat backspace and still have 30 leftover for resale/whatever!

I'll buy three more if this is the case! Hmm... but the problem is you would need a "prospective nyancat backspace doubling buyer list."

So you should have 2 cents added to your order and Jinzo should have $1.50? That doesn't sound very fair to me. If you can't afford $0.24 or less you probably shouldn't be buying custom made keycaps for a collection of expensive and extraneous keyboards.

CLOSES TOMORROW NIGHT! I have new orders but I'm not going to bother updating them much before tomorrow night. We'll see if I find the time.

Would be good to have the updated quantities to try to make some jumps to the next price breaks.

Nyancat backspace -->  250*2.96/3.78 = 196 > 116 (current order) so it is quite a bit short of reaching the 250 price break.

Rainbow down --> 500*0.98/1.26 = 389 < 472 (current order) so it makes the 500 price break.
It needs 682 orders to reach the 750 price break which is not likely (same for rainbow up).

Triforce 1x --> 100*1.44/1.76 = 82 < 85 (current order) so it makes the 100 price break.
It needs 116 orders (31 more) to reach the 150 price break which might be feasible.

Triforce 1.25x --> 100*1.73/2.06 = 84 < 92 (current order) so it makes the 100 price break.
It needs 122 orders (30 more) to reach the 150 price break which might be feasible.

Basically nyancat stuff is as good as it's going to get but triforce might be able to hit some higher levels.

It doesn't matter, at this point, with the few extras we just got, I'm probably just going to invest the couple hundred dollars and get the extra 100 or so to sell on here and other places.

Thats why. Updated now. Note that a couple people that ordered later got put higher on the list and not right at the bottom because I had a few people withdraw.

If 150 is for another price cut, i'll order a few more to making it possible for the nyancat backspace.

So we will be at the 250 price discount, $2.96 instead of $3.78?  That would be cool.

Right now, we have 139 Nyanspace orders. If I order up to 250 keys, I can do it two different ways:
1. I use the quantity discount to my advantage, being that I am taking up practically half of the orders on my own, and spend $219 to do it. In return I get about 110 keys for about $2 each, saving me about a dollar.

2. I share the quantity discount with everyone, and spend $329 to order up to those keys. Everyone else gets a great <$1 discount on the back of me carrying the group buy to higher numbers. Everyone else is like, hey thanks Dave, it was really cool you saved me a buck or two. Pat on the back.

If I sell them for $5, I make $221 in profit... selling 110 keys would take quite some time I'd imagine since the SC2 keys aren't moving that fast and they're the last of their kind. On the other hand, if I buy them for $219, I make $331, making it much more worthwhile for me to do it. To me, it is not worth it to buy that many extras for the little profit from sharing the discount. It is also extremely unfair to expect me to share the discount with everyone if I'm contributing that much to it. I said from the beginning that I would share the discount if it didn't cost me a large amount to do so. That is a large amount. I'm looking at what I can do to get discounts on some of the other keys, but everyone kinda did a really good job of just getting to a price break as is, so I'm inclined to just order very close to what you see in the OP.

Pretty sure this was all discussed ad nauseam previously, so if you have any questions about it, please PM me.

You could find a "happy medium" where You don't end up reaping all the profits (thus saving us some money) but we don't get the full benefit of the discount.

Unfortunately, though, there would be a lot of keycaps to resell. I think if you sold them at 20% markup or so, then you'd be able to get rid of them faster. I mean, look at the shamrock ones, and how fast those were eaten up.

EDIT: Ragnorock pointed out one mistake which I am actually quite happy to acknowledge because it basically makes it both unreasonable for us to expect a discount if he pushed the next price break and unreasonable for him to really take advantage of anything without a fair associated risk. Because substantial edits were made, I will preserve the old post in code tags  at the bottom (to make it shorter) for historical reasons. I'll happily take the blame for my mistake.

I also would like to say that this is/was not suppose to be threadcrapping. I have in fact always been in favor of the OP and trying to help resolve any potential issues, though I admit that I am bringing up potential issues that would otherwise probably not have been considered. Still I think it's a good thing because it's an element of group buys that hasn't been considered too much in the past from what I can gather and it's good to try to address it rather than have more of the controversy that was had in his past group buy.

The issue for those who haven't seen it yet is with SP's sweet spots which don't make sense. If a sweet spot is reached, the person in charge of the group buy can get free keys up to the next price break but can't offer a discount for that price break or the keys aren't really free. This put him in an odd spot where he has extras he can try to profit with but without being able to give people the discount without taking the loss himself.

---

Because of where the sweet spot is between 100 and 250, you'd be taking up only 29% of the orders (57/196 as shown below), not (250-139)/250 = 44% which is the nearly half you mentioned. In the end this really won't make a big difference in any case though, it's just to address that statement.

The amount needed to make the 250 price break is 196 keys assuming no price break at 150 (250*2.96/3.78 = 196). If there is a price break at 150 this discussion is moot since we'd just aim for 150 keys, and we probably are already at the sweet spot for it. We really should ask about this when ordering.

We have 139 orders already.
196 - 139 = 57 additional orders needed

So you would have to pay
57 * $3.78 = -$215.46 (this is the one mistake that changed everything; he does not pay the price break amount but does get the extra keys)

This would give 250 - 196 = 54 free keys
and 57 paid keys which could be sold for markup
54 + 57 = 111 total for resale

If you sold them for $5 each it would be
111 * $5 = $555

Then subtract what you had to pay for the 57 paid keys
$555 - $215.46 = $339.54 potential profit without sharing the discount (emphasis on potential, i.e. not guaranteed)
The opportunity cost is -$215.46 if you manage to sell none.
You'd have to sell 43 (not done easily) of them to break even and you'd have 68 left to try to profit with. Not something I would bank on as I don't see there being a market for so many nyancat backspaces in our community. If you did manage to sell them all somehow, it's not a bad return though. Keep in mind that if he sold them for less he would need to sell that much more and the real limiting factor is the size of the market.

If discount is shared
139 * ($3.78 - 2.96) = -$113.98 that would have to be shared
$339.54 - $113.98 = $225.56 potential profit without sharing the discount
The opportunity cost is -$329.44 if you manage to sell none: -$215.46 - $113.98 = -$329.44
You'd need to sell 66 of the 111 to break even and you'd have 45 left. This is extremely risky and not worth doing.

---

The latter case, where the discount is shared is available to anyone, since anyone could buy up, it's just the first that is exclusive to him. In both cases, it's possible for him to profit but it's not an "easy" profit so if he wants to try I think it's more than fair.

The actual best thing would be if there is a 150 price break, and I imagine there must be one since there are price breaks at 150 for other keycaps, unless it's different for dye sublimation.

Foreword: Before reading this, know that I am not angry, I just want to go through the numbers for transparency.

Because of where the sweet spot is between 100 and 250, you'd be taking up only 29% of the orders (57/196 as shown below), not (250-139)/250 = 44% which is the nearly half you mentioned.

If there is a price break at 150 this discussion is moot since we'd just aim for 150 keys, and we probably are already at the sweet spot for it. We really should ask about this when ordering.

We have 139 orders already.
196 - 139 = 57 additional orders needed

The price at 250 keys is $2.96, so you would have to pay
57 * $2.96 = $168.72

This would give 250 - 196 = 54 free keys
and 57 paid keys which could be sold for markup
54 + 57 = 111 total for resale

If you sold them for $5 each it would be
111 * $5 = $555

Then subtract what you had to pay for the 57 paid keys
$555 - $168.72 = $386.28 potential profit with sharing the discount (emphasis on potential, i.e. not guaranteed)
The opportunity cost is -$168.72 if you manage to sell none.
Pretty high opportunity cost (this is bad) but with reasonable return. You'd have to sell 34 (not done easily) of them to break even and you'd have 77 left.

If discount is not shared
139 * ($3.78 - 2.96) = $113.98 extra from keeping discount
$386.28 + $113.98 = $500.26 potential profit without sharing the discount
The opportunity cost is -$54.74 if you manage to sell none: $113.98 - $168.72 = -$54.74
Very low opportunity cost and very high potential return. You'd only need to sell 11 of the 111 to break even and you'd have 100 left.

---

In general, if you do not share the refund it puts you in a very awesome position.

If you do share the refund it's hard to say. If none of the extras sell you are down -$168.72 but you have the potential to make quite a bit if they do sell but I wouldn't bank on it, at least not in the short term. It would really be playing the risk/reward game. You could lose a lot but you stand to make a lot if you can find buyers, but this is &quot;normal&quot; when trying to do business right? If you want to make profit you have to take risk.

So what's the issue? If you don't want to order up to the next price break that's fine. We get no discount and you take no risk. If you do order up to the next price break and don't share the discount, we get nothing and you get the chance to make a high profit with minimal risk because it would be cushioned by the unshared discount.

This is both good and bad though... on the one hand, since the other people in the group buy are 71% responsible for meeting the 196 orders (100% - 29%), it sucks that we don't see a discount. On the other hand, if you buy up and we don't get the discount, it doesn't really hurt us, and we can be nice and give you a chance to make money... why not give a geekhacker this chance, right?

If you do as dorkvader said and share some of the discount it might reach a nice medium where the buyers get some price reduction (for the opportunity provided and as deserved for being in the group buy), you have modest opportunity cost and modest potential return. In the case of sharing half the discount the opportunity cost is about -$100 and the profit is around $450. Not all would sell; 20 sales are needed to break even with 91 left over to try to profit with.

The problem is that in every situation, if Ragnorock buys up, he starts by going into the negatives, but this is the risk associated with potential future profit. The question, to which there is no real answer, is what amount of risk and profit is fair? And thus the whole problem and its associated drama. If we fight too hard for a discount he just won't buy up and we get nothing. If we don't fight at all we don't get the discount we deserve, but, at the cost of like $0.82 per person (times your number of backspaces), we give him the chance to make a nice return.

The further I get into this, the more I think that he should just do it and not give us the discount really, and that's coming from the guy with the most backspace orders. This is analogous to the &quot;everybody in the world gives somebody a penny and he's rich and they don't really lose out on anything&quot; scenario.

The actual best thing would be if there is a 150 price break, and I imagine there must be one since there are price breaks at 150 for other keycaps, unless it's different for dye sublimation.

Lol, back for some more fun drama? It really is interesting though because there really is no clear best way to do this. It's really up to Ragnorock to decide if the risk is worth the potential reward and, if he does, to decide how much of that risk can be fairly cushioned by keeping some percentage (0% to 100%) of the discount.

Perhaps you could help come up with a solution since you were a naysayer last time. :)

I like to think that I'm being critical yet constructive and realistic and would like to see both the group and Ragnorock benefit without him having to risk an unfair amount. There will be some risk in any situation, but if he keeps a high percentage of the discount, it's a risk that is very worth taking.

Too tired to comment on any of this at the moment as I just got home, but orders are closed. You might be able to sneak one in before I wake up tomorrow because I haven't done the final update to my spreadsheet yet. Biniaris gtfo.

Oneproduct's post was too long to read but I'm sure I'm missing something because it doesn't look like we're getting the same numbers, maybe we are, but I'll figure that out tomorrow. I do know that if we hit a "magic number" where all the keys cost the same via the discount, and I share that discount with everyone, then everyone's contribution to the total cost goes down, and I have to make up for it. Does that make sense? Making up numbers off of the top of my head, say we have $400 worth of orders at the lower discount, and that cost is the same as 50 more keys at the higher discount. If I give everyone the, lets say 30% discount, then they're only contributing $280, and I have to cover the $120. Then I'm supposed to give out all of those keys? Does that make any sense? I'm not explaining it well but its 2am so forgive me. If I don't give out the discount, nobody saves any money, but then I could possibly give out extra keys to everyone, but it has never been the case that there are enough extras to give out to everyone who ordered and I do want extras to sell to make it worth my time. Obviously then I run into the problem of deciding who gets what key if everyone in the buy has an equal right to them, as obviously they would if everyone contributed relatively equal to the discount. However it has been and will be my position that if I contribute a very large portion to the group buy, in addition to running it and continuing to run future group buys, that I reserve the right to take advantage of the discounts. As I said in the OP, if it isn't very much, then I don't have a problem doing it, but hundreds of dollars is more than not very much.

Ah yes, that's true. My opportunity cost calculation needs to change because of that which then affects some other things. I'll fix up the post in a bit.

In any case, I'm an advocate of you not giving any discount back anyways, or if you do, a very small percentage. But again, the best thing is to see if there is a 150 price break.

Anybody notice that the Geekhackers from Quebec tend to be the most obnoxious?

Va te faire foutre, trouduc.  Buy it or don't buy it but knock off the threadcrapping (bannable offense in every OTHER forum I hang at).

I'n a show of Geekhack solidarity I'm buying some despite the GLWIC (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?24707-Why-Is-The-Ripster-So-Darn-Pissed-At-Signature-Plastic-Key-Group-Buys&p=465802&viewfull=1#post465802) effect.  And despite Paypal still holding my OTHER group buy money.

Whoa hang on, that's not very nice. I'm not threadcrapping at all. I just tried to post some statistics relevant to discounts, which I think people would be interested in because the whole point of a group buy is getting discounts.

Also, I am buying, and I think I have the largest order last time I checked. Not only that, I am in favor of Ragnorock /not/ giving us the discount (for the nyancat backspace's next price break if he were to buy up to it), so I am trying to help the OP, not hurt him.

There's no need for you to come in, make indirect insults at people and show a lack of confidence in group buys with your GLWIC and then swoop in at the last second if they turn up to be working out. If you said that you were in on a group buy /before/ it turns out to be successful, you would be helping to make it successful. Though I acknowledge your contributions in many areas, your solidarity in group buys is not something I would laud about.

Not people from Quebec, just people who think.  So cut the crap and this and that.  

Actually, this is very simple.  Whatever price break we are at, Rag, you as the organizer, decide how many more you should buy, whether you buy enough but stay at the same price break, or buy enough to get to the next price break.  The basic benefit for the group buy organizer is that you get the option of buying more at a lower price if we pass the treshold where it makes more sense pricewise to buy at the next price level because it woud cost more to stay at the lower level.  You as the organizer get some free keys to sell afterwards.  No big deal, you deserve it because you do all the leg work.

*BUT*, if you decide to buy so much more to get to the next price break, more than necessary to just get some free keys, then we have a conversation.  Even though you are the organizer, you are also one of the group buyers.  But only you get the new price break, no one else.  We all contribute as a *GROUP* to *BUY* these keys, so we should get the same price.  

It may or may not be the case.  But we don't know for sure without you telling us.  People give a damn about this is because the math doesn't come out right, and the *perception* of something is hiding behind the price break or why there isn't a 150 unit price break, and we just so happen to be below 150 and close to getting pass the threshold.  I think it is super cool for you, rag, to make some money.  It would be just so much better if you just be transparent with the numbers.

With number transparency, you can just spell out how many units we get, where is the threshold, the price break, etc.  If we don't make the threshold and you buy a couple more to push us over the threshold to get to the next price break, great!  If you want to buy more to get over to the next threshold, let us know how many and what is the new price break.

So let's start over, Rag, what is your plan for this group buy?

Post by: oneproduct on Sun, 11 December 2011, 11:24:42
Updated my post on the previous page. It's significantly different so you should check it again if you had looked at it before.

The issue for those who haven't seen it yet is with SP's sweet spots which don't make sense. This is the point where it costs the same to buy it at the next price break compared to the previous price break, in this case it would be at 196 (between 100 and 250). If a sweet spot is reached, the person in charge of the group buy can get free keys up to the next price break but can't offer a discount for that price break or the keys aren't really free. This put him in an odd spot where he has extras he can try to profit with but without being able to give people the discount without taking the loss himself.

This is not exactly the case here though because the sweet spot was not reached naturally and Ragnorock would have to buy up to it. This still gives him some level of opportunity to profit that's not available to the others, but it is much riskier to do so, so much so that it's actually very reasonable if he did.

The actual problem  is the second sweet spot, which would be everything between 196 and 250. If the orders are between this amount, he makes money for every purchase from people in the group buy beyond 196 if he doesn't share the discount. This would be in addition to the free keys. This is not happening though!

Also, I do think he's being completely transparent up to this point. The only thing that would be left to show is what the final order amounts would be because then we would know what the true circumstances/price breaks are but he can't say that before we/he are all settled on actual order amounts, which has happened yet.

Even though you are the organizer, you are also one of the group buyers.

From a philosophical perspective: here lies the problem. It's a potential conflict of interest. Ragnarock must be careful that his decision is not affected by this.

Quote from: litster;468322
So let's start over, Rag, what is your plan for this group buy?

And this is really the question at hand. Though he hasn't, Ragnarock could deliver an ultimatum: "participate in the GB at this price, or no keys for you" While I don't think he'd say it that way, It's really up to him how to run this.

Here's how I see it (and it took me a second to realize what oneproduct meant by sweet spot)

So, due to the price breaks, if we order 196 keycaps, we fall into the 100 price break, and 196 keycaps at the 100 price break will cost the same as ordering 250 at the 250 price break, right? This means that if there are 196 orders, we might as well just order 250, and figure out what to do with the rest.

Me, I'm fine with the 100-cost. I was fine at the 50 cost, too. If Ragnarock wants to order a bunch of keycaps, and lower it to the 250 price, then I'll be happy. either way, I get my keycaps.

Since I'm okay with the 100-cost, I say that there is no conflict of interest. It's okay for Ragnarock to profit as a GB organizer and member (or to "take advantage" of his position as organizer, if you want to be "that way" about things) because as the organizer, he has to put a lot of work into things. If he wants to order a lot of keycaps, and possibly give himself a discount, then that's cool. If he wants to sell them at a profit, and make money, Go for it!

---
Really, I trust Ragnarock. I'll be happy with whatever happens. I can't really evaluate the business side of things, since that's not my forte, but from my perspective, I see nothing ethically wrong with whatever decision he makes.

^ Looks like I never got a PM from you. Send me one with your email, shipping address etc and I'll get you in.

Anyways. I got an email back from Melissa with discounts for 150 and 200, and I'm going to be ordering at 200 for the nyanspaces. The final count for Nyanspaces is 143 and I want more than 7 extras. That requires an $83 investment on my part while not giving out the discount. If I give it out, it costs me another hundred. If I give everyone the discount for 150, it costs me $120, and everyone saves 45 cents. Do I think that anyone cares about the 45 cents? No. Do I think that if I was to buy at the 150 discount and not share it with everyone would everyone be mad? Absolutely. That's because it costs less than the sum of everyone's orders right now- meaning I'd get 7 keys for free and an extra 36 dollars. I'm not doing that.

I'm also going to be ordering 750 Up (Me buying 105 extra) keys and the corresponding number of down keys which would be 90. That way I can sell 15 complete 7 up 6 down 1 backspace keysets in addition to the extra backspaces. The Triforce Esc is similar to the Nyanspace, where I could order 150 and actually get money back but this time have a fair number of leftovers. I'm ordering 200, since Nyancat's margins aren't that great and I'll make up some extra money that way. Mods will be ordered at 150.

Note, the startup fees etc have not been factored into prices yet, but they won't make a difference in quantities ordered.

TLDR:
My total extras cost (Not counting what I'm ordering for myself)

Nyan   $79.46
Up   $35.40
Down   $88.20
Esc   $15.76
Mod   $26.62

Total   $245.44 invested

Potential profit from extras:

Revenues         Costs               Profit
                  
Nyanspace                  
42 x $6    $252      $58.80      $193.20
                  
Nyanset                  
15 x $25    $375       $144.60      $230.40
                  
Triforce Esc                  
79 x $4    $316       $15.76      $300.24
                  
Triforce Mod                  
44 x $5    $220       $26.62      $193.38
                  
               Total   $917.22

You guys wanted transparency and there you have it. That is far and away more information than anyone else has ever divulged when running a group buy, so I hope everyone appreciates it. Other organizers do this every time and sometimes much more greedy things. If anyone has a problem with this then feel free to cancel your order, but I feel this is a reasonable return for my risk, time and investment. There will be some additional funds earned from shipping costs but those are much more difficult to calculate and uncertain due to people ordering more than one thing per order. Having to package up and sell a very large number of leftover orders is time consuming so the hourly wage for that $917 isn't going to be all that great I'm thinking. If anyone else has any questions, please feel free. Those prices are preliminary but they're likely to be the prices I charge on GH and not on other websites like eBay and Etsy- If I do end up selling them on there.

Actually, I outlined it in your last group buy but you denied it. Good to see you freely posting it now.

There's no way you put an entire 40 hour work week into this group buy, even after everything is done and said. And if then, that's $23/hr cash under the table.

And good luck trying to sell copyrighted material like that on eBay and Etsy.

Run your own group buy and then tell me how much time it takes. You don't have the slightest idea how much it actually takes, so don't try and tell me its less than 40 hours lol. Any other group buy organizer will second me on this, and you aren't considering the significant additional time it takes to do round after round of leftover shipments. As far as copyrighted material goes, the only thing copyrightable about Triforce is the name... and there are about a million other products out there bearing that symbol and calling it the triforce and I guarantee you not all of them are licensed.

Every interesting item I've ever seen on etsy seems to be from a TV show or bearing a symbol that's been copyrighted.

Rag, thanks for the numbers.  Glad Melissa was able to get you the new price breaks over the weekend.  Can you tell use the price break for $150 and $200?

Is the startup fees shared across all keycaps ordered, including or excluding the extra ones you will order?  Thanks.

Lol, no I didn't ask for permission nor did I see the need to, its a damned meme, everyone takes it and turns it into all sorts of things. Thats kindof what it means to you know... be a MEME.

The startup fees will be distributed among all the keys, meaning I will bear a large portion of them myself. Shipping cost will be split between each buyer.

I'm not sure what you mean with the $150 and $200, none of that is in dollars, but no it isn't an incremental quantity discount, its an all units discount.

He said there were 143 orders, so the group already passed the sweet spot/magic number for 150 on its own, so we should have that discount accounted for.
He's buying up to 200 on his own though so he's keeping that discount.

I don't blame you for making a profit on this. I would do the same, no question. I probably spent 5 or 6 hours on my $20 DS buy, and that was a much smaller scale. I had to strip 20 boards. You have to count out a ton of sets. It makes sense to me. While I don't know if it will take you 40 hours of diligent work, I can't see it taking less than 20. Also, I couldn't find my PM for my order, nor my post. Could you refresh me on what I ordered? Thanks!

Man you guys are very adept at not reading my update posts. I said I made it to Avrael before Paypal stopped working again, so if you went to the OP and looked at the list of buyers, you could tell who has had their invoice sent and who hasn't. Paypal willing, I'm going to try and get everything sent out today.

@ Hawkwind. That price has been the same since always. Not just since the start of this group buy, but since my first one. The cost isn't just to cover the postage, I have to fill out customs forms and stuff too, so sorry if you didn't order enough keys to make it worthwhile.

^ Fixed yours, Paypal is a nightmare right now, I have to retry everything I do 5 times on average before it goes through. Doing them at a rate of 1 per hour isn't going to work, so Zamorph is the last one that gets done until they fix their ****. I've already gotten a response back from them saying that it is a known issue, that they're working on it, and that my account has been added to the list of affected accounts, so hopefully I can get the rest sent out soon.

Don't worry, I won't.

Oh, thanks man. I trusted you either way, but I'm impressed you went above and beyond.

So 08 Jan is unlikely, then. Do you think this is because my sense of time is skewed at the end of the year, or because it'll tae them a while to print up all these PBT keys for us? I remember the portal GB going really fast.

^Because I'm too lazy to go and find each email out of the list and correlate it back to their Usernames lol.

Revenge and a few others paid their invoices but Paypal, among all of its other weird issues, decided not to mark their invoices as paid. All fixed that I'm aware of.

I'm saying the 8th is unlikely because SP is going to be on holiday for Christmas and it takes about a month or so anyways... and I still haven't gotten the order in yet. I'm thinking 3rd week to end of January when they get to me, and I'll be shipping them out asap after that. I have a stamp for my address now, so I'm going to get the envelopes ready ahead of time this round. I also have a bunch of customs forms with me, so I don't have to spend 2 hours at the post office filling them out and shipping everything.

Slueth

TopazPie

Slyce

Son of Gnome

I suspect some of them may have paid already, as there were 3 or 4 that had their invoices not connect to their payment, but it still went through. If you have paid, send me a PM with the transaction ID etc and I'll get it sorted. If you haven't paid, Hazeluff now has your names! Don't make me give him your addresses! Lol.

Okay so still 3 unpaid orders, look at the above post and cross Son of Gnome off of it. If you have paid and it just isn't showing up in Paypal then let me know. I want to send this in as soon as they reopen after Christmas, so get me the last bit of money or your orders are forfeit. I have enough money in my account to pay SP, so it will go in right away regardless, but I need the leftovers to cover shipping and stuff... and it'd just be a pain if I have to buy extra extras on top of the cancellations I have already had.

@ Zifle: I'm sending you a PM but in case you read this first it seems Paypal has been reviewing your payment to make sure that it was authorized by you. I called them a while ago to see what was up and they said it's normal for them to do that but they will release the funds to me immediately if you call them and tell them that it was authorized. Otherwise I have to keep waiting for it to finish reviewing and that's another $50 not in my account. Being that it has already been a couple of weeks it should get taken care of soon, but with the holidays and it being Paypal, I'm not counting on them.

Post by: Ragnorock on Wed, 28 December 2011, 13:45:20
Okay so here's a couple of things.:

Zlfle's payment to Paypal got reversed, either he said something wrong to Paypal or they didn't believe him. Which is funny because when I spoke to them on the phone it was only flagged because they were concerned his account might have been compromised. The guy on the phone told me they would release it no problem if I had him call and say it was authorized. Need that payment resent ASAP. Everyone else has paid. (YAY!)

I forgot to charge everyone the $150 in fees and the $17 in shipping, which sucks. I guess in my frustration getting paypal to work and how busy I was at the time with the end of the semester I forgot to make those changes in the prices of the keys. Its my mistake so I won't be sending out additional invoices all over again to collect ~$1 from everyone. If anyone feels overly giving (lol Christmas is over so fat chance) you can feel free to gift however much it would be per keycap you have. There were 1600 Nyancat keys ordered, so $80 over 1600 is $0.05 per key ordered and for triforce there are 350 keys so $70/350 is $0.20 per key ordered. Since I screwed up I'm including my extras ordered in that cost (I wasn't going to before if anyone else remembers.) I don't expect even half of the buyers to contribute, but whatever you want to contribute helps. I was going to do the shipping charge per buyer, so $17/82 is $0.20 per order. So anyone who wants to contrtibute can figure out how much was their burden and paypal me at my email, which everyone should have. If you don't then its the word the, then an underscore, then american with a c in front of it at hotmail.com (I don't particularly want my email grabbed by a web crawler lol.)

SP reopens Jan 2nd so I'll get the order in then, I've already sent a request for an invoice to Melissa. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all.

Dave out.

Dorkvader, yours would be $2.90, which is high. Hint: You ordered a fair number of Triforce keys.

I'm considering offering the extra Nyansets I'm ordering for pre-sale as there have been a couple that have gone out of their way to PM me in order to get one before they go on sale as leftovers.

1 Nyanset is
1 Nyanspace
7 Up Rainbows
6 Down Rainbows

and I'm selling them for $25. The difference between buying them now rather than when the leftovers go up for sale is that these ship with the original orders, so you get them a week or two sooner than the leftovers would.

If interested in snagging one of the ~13 sets still available then PM me. Trying to raise funds to cover the additional costs from the fees I didn't collect.

Went to add some ATF to the GF's car (which is our winter car since I refuse to drive my car in the thumbtip size rocks Pullman uses instead of sand) since it seemed like it might be low and a bunch came pouring out of the fill plug, meaning I had to spend an hour or two last night figuring out why, and then putting new fluid in. TLDR I got done at like 10 and couldn't justify getting home at 11:30 just to go to bed. Leaving now though, going to get in touch with Melissa and my friend so we can do the payment today.

Also I'm kinda a car guy, I race when the Pacific Northwest weather is permitting. Not sure if that interests anyone on here but if so I haz pics of my cars and racing.

I don't have a car (poor college student) but I help dad autocross our Mazda MX-5 whenever I can: It's great fun. 'course it's in climate-controlled storage for the winter.

Why was the ATF (antifreeze?) overflowing? was oil leaking into the system or something? Hope it's okay.

Thanks for getting this done!

Post by: Ragnorock on Tue, 03 January 2012, 14:15:21
Automatic transmission fluid = ATF. Long story short there are two sumps (oilpans) where the ATF sits, and when I went up into the driveway it drained into the rearward, larger pan. Turns out it wasn't low but just kinda dirty. Putting new fluid in was the painful part because I didn't have a proper pump for it and had to improvise.

The car in question is the 93 325I I bought for my gf to drive, thus its an auto. My car is a 96 328I so they have a lot in common mechanically and I know them really well as a result. I race the 328 against MX-5s all the time. That car is actually my closest competition in auto-x because the car itself has won nationals and the drivers are some of the best in the country. Ofc they have a much higher budget than I since I'm in college too, but it makes it all the better when I beat them. I'll post some pics later, I'm on my phone.

I know this is over, but if any one has any extras I'd love to buy them. Preferably the whole set. I guess you could say I'm a huge nyan cat fan and I'd love to have these.
EDIT: As you can probably tell, I'm new, so don't get pissed if I don't understand how the buying and selling of these work. :)

Ragnorock will have some left over that you can buy from him once they arrive. I don't know what he'll charge for them, though.

Welcome to Geekhack. You made a good decision starting at the group buy forum.

Just realized I'd been spelling his name wrong this whole time. :p

Edit: as a last resort I'd offer to sell you one of mine, but I don't know what I ordered. It's a big secret for me!

Just so everyone knows, since the post has gotten buried by a few pages now, I've been preselling leftover Nyansets for $25 to raise money to help cover the additional fees I forgot to collect. There are about 10 sets left that will go up for sale when I get everything, for the same price. The deal with buying the "Preorders" if you will, is that you get them when everyone else does. I figured that would be a nice enough perk. You can order Triforce too, an single Nyanspace keys. The whole price sheet is going to be this:
Nyanspace   
   $6
   
Nyanset   (6 Down 7 Up)
   $25
   
Triforce Esc   
   $4
   
Triforce Mod   
   $5

Also, I have the most Triforce escapes, so I may offer discounts to people ordering several of them.

For anyone who never saw it, I have also been asking for donations toward the fees if anyone still feels like contributing. I raised about $45 out of the $132.50 it cost. Please see previous posts for more details and how to calculate what your fees should have been.

Obviously it isn't on a green background, but that's just a test mold.

Still accepting preorders for them, they'll ship when everyone else's ship if you preorder! $4 per Esc $5 per mod.

Okay, so since my spreadsheet is now full, and I've collected enough money to cover the costs I bore for the setup fees, I'm thinking of closing off preorders until the leftovers thread goes up in a couple of weeks. Thoughts? I could always make it longer, or open up a new one, but lol.

Anyways, its not that much work so if people still want to preorder that's fine, but just to let everyone know there are only 3 full Nyansets left. I have tons of leftover Nyancat backspaces and triforce keys of both kinds, but ordering the Nyansets was expensive, so I only ordered enough rainbow keys for 15 total. I would prefer to have a few of those available when the leftovers actually get here, but I dunno, looking for some input on that as well.

There is also the question of the prototype Nyancat keys that are pictured in the OP. I'm not sure what I actually want to do with those, as they're all one of a kind. They don't really go with much but they are very collectable. I may auction them off or something if lots of people are interested in having them.

Dave out. They should be done soon.

What did they order?  I wouldn't mind an extra full nyanset (7+6+1) or two.  Would give me a chance to upgrade my shipping option and pay the difference to a box instead of the bubble mailer as well.

If the couple of people who still haven't paid, (one has) then I have others waiting in line to get them. I would prefer to sell them to people that didn't already get one so that more Nyan can be haz'd by all.

... I would prefer not. The bubble mailers are extremely high quality and have done a flawless job of protecting the keys thus far. I have had zero problems with them. They're also much easier to transport and don't require me to make 100 of them- I know that doesn't really apply as much when I'm not doing very many of them, but I bought a giant box of them and they're ready to go. I suppose if you really want to you can go ahead and be one of the 3 people that have, but you don't really have enough keys to need one either. You can fit a good 100 keys in them if you really wanted. If anything I've been having more problems with them getting lost, and unfortunately I haven't got any spares to give people if they get lost this time around.

Due to my location anything other than priority could take a month or more to get to me but priority makes it in 5 to 7 days.

The bubble envelopes ship first class, while the boxes ship priority. In your case it makes sense to switch to priority, but because it is an APO they are going to charge international shipping. That is going to be significantly more expensive if you want it. Send me a PM and we'll work it out.

I shipped to an APO.  It was standard conus48 pricing for me.

If I do that means I have to sort them all and get them all packed by the end of tonight pretty much, since I don't plan on doing that while I have a friend in from 8 hours away.

Thank you for making this possible, Ragnorock.

Not trying to be unappreciative but...
Did SP do it wrong? nyancat look smaller and has an offset...
I'm guessing SP did a resize but forgot about realigning it.

Yeah I noticed that as well. While I was more upset about Nyancat not being all the way to the right, I suspect that the change came when she tried to size everything together, so she moved it a little to the right to keep the gap from being too big. Dunno, looks great to me. The smaller Nyancat looks a lot cleaner than the original prototype does in person.

I'm not sure exactly how it isn't centered... would you like the esc key a little higher up? That's the only thing I can see but its just an optical illusion due to it having a wide base and a pointy top. Other than that they're perfectly centered horizontally.

Post by: alaricljs on Wed, 08 February 2012, 22:10:14
75 sets brings it to $85 per on a 104key set.  Don't know where or how much the next break is, but it's close to $5 per 25 sets for the previous 2 price breaks, so expect that to continue with diminishing returns.  Estimate of 125-150 sets for $70 pricing.

The difficulty is then getting that many people interested in the same color/font/layout/...

Then there's that damned ABS space bar fiasco.  That's the biggest reason I'm not too keen on SP PBTs.  I like my PBT space bar.  However if you did make it to 150 sets, the numbers I've heard say that PBT space bar would only be ~5.00 more per set.

if it doesn't hit the price you want, back out. the more orders people see, the more they'd feel comfortable putting their own order in.

Some of the pictures of Red Alert have this exact setup. The number row is reversed colors. I'd really appreciate it if someone did a group buy for these here. I'd be down for hazeluff's suggested Retro Red set too.

Post by: Ragnorock on Wed, 08 February 2012, 22:39:03
I've been mulling over what I want out of the "Blood" keyset (I really don't care for that name tbh, trying to come up with something else,) and basically it boils down to a set of black on red keys, with an "Execute" on the enter key instead of enter. I don't really care what we do with the modifiers as long as it isn't anything too out of the norm. Melissa mentioned that if we really do what they consider a standard set, the price is cheaper. Changing the legend on one key isn't going to be significant, but if we were to do a bunch of custom legends she's going to want to raise the price. I'm looking to do 50 sets honestly, but being as it is tenkeyless I'm not sure we will get that many... it isn't exactly profitable enough for me to try and buy 10 extra sets and sell them for a markup high enough to make money off of it, since they are fairly expensive to begin with.

Prices right now are looking like:
87 key set with the custom Execute legend:
25 sets          $65.06 / set
50 sets          $47.74  set
75 sets          $41.96 / set
100 sets        $39.07 / set

With both an Enter key and an Execute key its:
25 sets          $69.45 / set
50 sets          $50.42 / set
75 sets          $44.07 / set
100 sets        $40.89 / set

Obviously its pretty reasonable pricing, especially if we hit 50, but if we hit 30 orders ($1950) and it costs $2387 to get 50 sets, that costs me $437 to get 20 keysets. That's a pretty good deal, working out to $21.85 per set, but even if I sell them for $50, I only make $563... and that's if I can sell all of them in a reasonable amount of time, something I think is pretty unlikely considering this is currently the largest market there is for this sort of thing. Pretty much only Geekhack knows the true worth of keys and keysets, and if everyone here is already going to get in on the group buy, I'm much better off trying to make money off of selling individual keysets. This has been my logic behind not buying a whole lot of extra sets for Nyancat and Portal, though I could certainly have made a decent amount of money, it would have required a much higher investment, something I am not capable of while in school.

TLDR: I am most likely to just try and run this group buy to get people some cool keys, not buy any extras, and just move on to the next group buy I have in the pipeline. What that means for everyone else is that if you are at all interested in getting one, you better get one, because they will be extremely limited and I'm not likely to do a second round. I'm basically doing this because I'm looking to complete a look I have in mind for one of my boards, and provide everyone else with a MUCH CHEAPER set of doubleshots than you can get in Round 4.

Thoughts? Didn't feel like resurrecting the IC thread.

As for a red on white set, I'm considering one later this year, but anyone can feel free to do one, I'm not asking for dibs. I would say a dyesub set would be ideal for that, but I'm not a big fan of full dyesub sets that aren't straight from Topre lol. Doubleshots would be much cheaper as usual... and no spacebar issues.

provide everyone else with a MUCH CHEAPER set of doubleshots than you can get in Round 4.

I would like something interesting that isn't going to take forever to organize and execute and also doesn't cost a fortune. It seems like you can provide all of these things so I know I'm in.

Yeah, looking to send the order in at the end of the month, so only a couple of weeks, maybe 2.5 to get orders in. Lead time from SP should be shorter as well because this is very standard for them... so I'd probably be getting these keys shipped out mid to late March. There also shouldn't be any cutting fees etc, but those prices aren't final.

You would need either a plu or ducky to get close to that white.  Leopold is more greyish white and filco is more cream white.

Could it be possible if we have some keycaps in Black on Red (Esc, Execute, Ctrl, WASD, Arrows)???

Ín general a nice idea. But I'm just thinking that the lighter color keycaps for the keys round the side, won't look as nice.

Post by: Ragnorock on Sun, 12 February 2012, 02:27:47
Okay, so every single keycap of the almost 2000 keys has been sorted, packed, and addressed. Everything is ready to go for Monday, and they will ship out then.


I would like to take this post to remind everyone of my policies regarding shipment. I had about 5 or so orders go missing during the last group buy, during which I either sent out replacement caps or refunded, in full, the full ordering and shipping costs to the buyer. Bear in mind that this results in me eating a fairly significant loss, and isn't the normal understanding I have with some of my friends. That would be where both parties split the loss because the fault is with the carrier, and not with either the recipient or the seller. Insurance and tracking were not offered in this group buy and are not likely to be offered in any other, especially with international, as the rates skyrocket if those are included. It is also a nightmare to try and keep track of 100+ tracking numbers. This is especially disconcerting considering that the top 4 orders are all international, and all around 100 bucks. So fingers crossed guys, and if insurance isn't much more I'm just going to include it on them, but last time I checked it changed the rate from $15 to $40.

If there are lost shipments, I will issue a refund in most circumstances, once a more than reasonable amount of time has passed for the keys to arrive. I recently received a few Team Liquid keycaps after over 2.5 months had passed since initial shipment. I do have leftover Nyanspace and triforce keys of both sizes, but 0, and I do mean 0 rainbow keys left. That means that if your Nyanset got lost in the mail, all I can offer you to replace it is the backspace key + a partial refund. Do not expect me to give you a full refund and compensate you with some free keys or some ****, and don't accuse me of failing to ship them, it is very insulting and I'm getting tired of taking pictures of my 16 ft receipt.

As for damaged keys, I inspected the keys as best I could prior to shipping them (especially Ripsters) to ensure that they were in great shape. If you have a damaged key I will not be replacing it for free. If you really want another one, and you really think for some reason that I am responsible for USPS ****ing up your ****, then if you're willing to pay shipping and the original group buy cost of the key I will send you another one. That means I lose out on whatever profit I might have gotten from selling that key, and you have to pay a few more bucks. Seems fair to me. That said, I had 0 people tell me that their keys were significantly damaged. Bubble mailers may seem more vulnerable, but keycaps are really pretty strong if you think about it. I've stepped on one before and you couldn't tell.

Anyways, I hope that sounds reasonable to everyone. That is basically a more detailed explanation of the policy stated in the OP, and what I have followed thus far in dealing with lost shipments. However this policy is dependent on everyone out there having some integrity because if I wind up with a bunch of people claiming that their packages never got there, and they actually did, I'm going to end up unable to do this anymore because I end up losing money or I have to start charging shipping rates that include tracking and insurance... something that will likely kill future group buys anyways.

TL;DR: I'm not going to screw you, so don't screw me. We're all friends here, but almost all of us are guys, so any screwing isn't exactly pretty. USPS sucks, but it is the only viable option we have.

Post by: Ragnorock on Sun, 12 February 2012, 14:33:56
Honestly I've begun to suspect that it is due to some people being incompetent with writing their addresses. Yesterday I spent hours writing them all onto envelopes and so many had mistakes, and others I just wrote how I was given them because I have no effing clue how addresses are supposed to be written in Thailand. I had to look a bunch of them up on google because they didn't include zip/postal codes etc. I would be really nice if you guys were to proofread and ensure the address you send me is not only written correctly, but parsed correctly as well. What I mean by that is that it is not really ever the case that your address is 8 lines long, with 1 district/town/region/city per line. You should be able to write something like city, state, zip all on one line. Internationally I have no idea other than the general format I've gathered from shipping several to the same country by now... but please if you care at all about actually getting your keycaps, make damn sure your stuff is right.

For the record, in the US it should look like this:

Herp Derp
555 Flerp St.
Apt. #J
Shelbyville, NC 34523

If you are international you should look up the conventions for your country and always be sure to list the country on a new line at the bottom.

I don't have the time or the will to photograph each package and send everyone the picture of their address, so it is up to you to check the PM you sent me and make sure your address is correct. You have until tomorrow if you wrote it wrong.

People I am most concerned about having written their address wrong due to sheer number of lines or other stuff.
Slyce- So many lines it just scares me. I put Wareham, Dorset on one line instead of two. PS your address is the least fun to fit on a customs form. >.>
Nighted- I wrote the #1-134 just like you wrote me, but I get the feeling that that should be on its own line as an apartment number
Jil_Jil32- I honestly just don't understand this address, why does it start with a "*"? I omitted it and just wrote it as it was written.

Damn, that's one I would never have caught anyways since obviously it looked correct. What will happen is that it will get to your city, but go to the wrong post office within it, hopefully they can forward it to the right one and get it delivered. USPS said that it should get returned to me if it doesn't get delivered, but that hasn't happened in the past. Fortunately your order wasn't huge so even if anything does happen I can send you a new Nyancat and Triforce key- I'm out of rainbows.

those are the limited edition pink filcos, so they are discontinued. only place that i found them is at taobao and armygroup.

Cherry MX Blue switcheshttp://www.armygroup.com.tw/shop/goods-3605.html (http://www.armygroup.com.tw/shop/goods-3605.html)

The armygroup ones have chinese characters on them though

Close, but no cigar :)  Actually, I would have preferred a Filco but, as you said they were limited edition and thus hard to find/expensive.

The keyboard is a PLU ML-87 in Pink with MX Blues.  You can buy them from qtan here:  http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/category/plu/catId=3982938

Huh, I found a tenkeyless version of it on Taobao, any ideas on how to buy one? Not buying one today, still hurting from Valentines lol... but eventually.

Edit: Thanks, I'll probably just buy that, qtan is a good guy. If I bought the Filco I probably would have wanted it for myself haha.

I tend to use brand new plastics tabs and they are more secure or you can do what ripster said and add something to eliminate the gap.

Hey Rag, got the keys, thanks for putting in the effort. Don't know what to say though, my Backspaces sure as hell won't correctly fit any of my keyboards with Cherry stabilizers. It looks like there's excessive curvature on the entire key. Any way to get an RMA from SP?

Wait... what? What keyboards do you have? These fit most boards out there, but not all. If your particular key has a curved base, then it could be a problem, but I didn't notice any that were bad... and for you to have 2 that are defective is simply not possible.

Whenever I got my SP PBT set in from \KL (where did that guy go, anyway?) I thought the same. The backspace looked super curved. It still worked fine, though. I've only tried it on costar stabilizers.

Anyone know why the "gold" part of the triforce caps aren't textured? They almost feel like a pad-print? Either way, my pinkie won't care. as far as the colour, I'd prefer a brighter yellow, but this is great, nontheless.

To be clear, I can "force" it on, but the key will bind and be stuck halfway depressed. Makes sense if you think about the design of Cherry vs Costar stabilizers.
As an aside, this is the first time I've managed to rip out a Cherry stabilizer while removing a keycap. Damn you SP, I guess you're only Cherry-stem compatible!

Post by: Ragnorock on Wed, 15 February 2012, 19:39:22
Huh, yeah that sorta makes sense, I'm going through them now and looking. There is definitely some variance in the curve. That is why they don't make PBT spacebars, because they can't get them to not curve often enough. I'll send you some straighter ones if you want to do a swap. The ones you have should fit some Leopolds etc.

I'm down for that. Just make sure you find some that are as straight as possible, would be great if you had a Cherry board to test with.

yes, and no.

Yes, because it's over, and the sets have shipped No, because there are some extras. Now, I don't know about the full nyanset, but I'm pretty sure there'll be extra nyan backspaces, and I'm almost certain there'll be extra triforces. After that, check the classifieds.

I only got 6 of each key, but I ordered a full set. I'll pm you as well

I also ordered Triforce modifiers but got single sized keys

Huh, well that sucks. Are you sure it is an "up" key that is missing? I have one, and I mean exactly 1 leftover down key. I can send that with some correct triforce keys if you want to send those keys back. I would double check exactly which ones you have since they look so similar, but even if you do only have 6 of each (and not 7 up and 5 down.) You could just alternate them the opposite way and it would look pretty much identical. I just tested it myself and you really can't tell.

Yes, I have 6 of each. That will be fine, I don't care which one I get, I just want a full row haha.

Sending those back would be a pain. If I could just purchase the modifiers at the original price and shipping, I will just do that.

thanks

Got the keys, everything is perfect except one thing - backspace key works really weird on Cherry stabilizers - either it works and it's too high (only switch is inserted into the keycap, not the stabilizers), or I push the cap into the stabilizers and then it's mushy and stuck. Any tips?

It turns out the pbt on some of the keys has bowed more than certain types of stabilizers will allow tolerance wise. I've only had one other member have this problem, and am offering sort of an rma type deal if you cover return shipping. Either that or you can buy another key and use that one on a keyboard with a different stabilizer type. Send me a pm if you are interested.

I have the same deal, either high or mushy, and it squeaks a lot. :( Sent you a PM. Other than that slight problem, I love it, and the triforce too.
EDIT: My key actually seems to work fine, but it's very squeaky, same or different problem to cancelx?

Post by: cancelx on Wed, 22 February 2012, 06:20:39
Yea, I've found out now that it works, but its either too high (and not 'connected' to stabilizers) or too low, and squeaky, and mushy.

Mine seems to be equal to the rest of the keys (not sure how to tell if it's on the stabilisers) but very squeaky. The first time it was super mushy but now it's not, weird. In any case, I have no clue what's causing the squeakiness.

I've been trying to get a leftovers thread up for over a week now, I've just been really busy. Hopefully by the end of today if all goes as planned. As for your issue Diji, ask Ripster or someone more knowledgeable about those sorts of things for a cure to the squeakiness, methinks your backspace is straight enough that it works but maybe puts just a little extra strain on the stabilizer bar, causing it to squeak by rubbing on stuff... and just needs to be lubed. Cancelx if you want to RMA it send me a PM. I'm still catching up on other exchanges/fixes, but I've got Revenge and Tennobanzai's keycaps ready to mail out.

Sorry buddy, I keep checking my mailbox but I haven't gotten the keys yet. I'll just take it on good faith that you have and send them out then. The reason you got escapes and not mods is because I put the 2 in the wrong column. Only time that happened this round, so my bad.

Okay, here are the people I've got replacement/missing keys ready to ship out for:

Charizard
TennoBanzai
Noodles256
REVENGE

If anyone else has had fitment issues or missing keys, please contact me, as I may have misplaced previous PMs amidst the deluge of Ragnarok orders. Likewise I won't know until you say something if you haven't come forward with a problem.

Waiting to see if Cancelx wants to exchange his, I suppose Diji too, though his problem doesn't necessitate an exchange.

I will get these mailed out tomorrow hopefully, if not Monday at the latest.

Again, leftovers here:

It's a little bit wobbly since it's a different stabilizer type than the original backspace, but it's fine to use.
