Starcraft 2 and Portal Keycap GB Leftovers For Sale! SOLD OUT
« on: Mon, 14 November 2011, 00:57:42 »

SOLD OUT

So, after much ado and hoopla, I present to you the last freely available Starcraft 2 keycaps and the half dozen Portal keycap sets still available until hopefully another round is started. At least I'm pretty sure Portal will be run again lol.

As many of you already know, after the last round of SC2 orders were placed and were already on their way to us, Signature Plastics decided that they were unable to continue manufacturing them in good conscience after considering copyright issues with Blizzard. Other materials have a stronger case against being copyrightable, but these symbols are of Blizzard's original design and due to that they will never be made again. Being that every other keycap manufacturing company we are aware of outsources their doubleshots to SP, that effectively assures that these are the last of their kind. Since that is the case, their value has increased significantly from when they were ordered in the original group buy. It would be extremely stupid of me not to consider this, and I have. Given their extremely limited quantity, their prices are as follows:

All 1x (Esc) sized SC2 keys: $8.00 each
Updated 12/31/11
SOLD OUT

All 1.25x (Modifer) size SC2 keys: $8.50 each

Portal Keycap set: $40.00 SOLD OUT[/B]

I will be updating the OP as each race and kind sells out, so if there isn't a notification in the OP of a particular keycap being gone for good, then they are still available. They will not last for long.

If you want to work out some sort of package deal for a significant order, a small discount may be given... but it isn't going to be like buy 2 get one free.

Shipping is extra, but cheaper because I'm not charging the $1 fee for my work this time around.

US Options:
$3.50 Bubble Mailer (Preferred)
$5.20 For a flat rate box that may be necessary if you order a large quantity of keys.

Canada Options:
$5 US dollars. Bubble Mailer
$14 Flat rate box  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:
$9 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:

1x
1 Protoss
2 Terran
3 Zerg
1 Random

1.25x
4 Protoss
2 Terran
6 Zerg
2 Random

1x Portal

Country: US

Shipping: Bubble

Paypal Email: An.email@googlemail.com (Hipster email domain)

^Be sure it is your paypal email!

Doesn't this belong in the Classifieds? Five posts for the same caps seems kind of excessive in the Group Buy area, Dave.

I looked in the classifieds section, there isn't a single one that is leftovers from a group buy and several in this section selling leftovers... So that's where it seems to belong.

The reason there isn't a post about selling leftovers is because nobody has a metric ****ton of leftovers.

However, you do often see people selling their RD3 sets and what not in the Classifieds.

Note that these are more expensive than usual because they are the last of their kind, due to legal issues. :-/

Typical single-key group buy price is more like $2-$5.

Is "Welcome to geekhack!" a motto?

Yeah, Actually I've got some relatives (not really close relatives) in China. I've asked my mom to ask them If they know any factories where we may be able to do them. (Sorry for this part of the comment, I have no idea where the original part of "Outsource to china" discussion is. Don't count on it. These are 99% probability the last batch of nice doubleshot SC2 keys.

I'll leave individual key sales to everyone else who bought extras/doesn't want those keys. Many members have gotten their keys by now so if you want a particular keycap or to I suggest throwing up a WTB thread in the classifieds section.

5 of my original 8 Portal sets left btw.

To new orders for keys, I have class in a bit but after I will be sending out invoices. If you pay in a timely manner today, I will ship them out with the other orders I've gotten so far.

If Blizzard knew about this, they would almost certainly sue. They sue anyone, for anything they can, and usually win. SP is smart not to push their luck, as they are probably not making much money of this and stand to lose a lot.

Tracking numbers on mass orders is really difficult to keep track of since I'd have to link the address to the number and there are several orders that have the same city and stuff. The parcel is small enough that they're just going to put it in your mailbox unless you straight up don't have one.
