fake clack discussion

[Puddsy]

I confess, I made them.

Really?

[tjcaustin]

I'm so sad I missed the drama ;_;

My$.02

kudos to the guy who copied it, as stated elsewhere he could have just as easily copied the bottom as he did the top. The fact he made it so obvious that they're fakes shows he did this just to rustle jimmies. And rustle them he did. If you guys should be mad at anyone it's yourselves, coveting these things like they're ****ing pieces of gold, sure they're nice, but not nice enough to give away hundreds of $$$ in stuff to trade for what amounts to a $20 piece of plastic. That's your own fault.

Also, I'm the one who made these. Just to prove a point OuO

When they first sell they are $20, and that is in a lotto.  However their market price is much higher.  Supply/demand etc.

I think this argument right here is why they got made.  Someone snapped because they got tired of hearing people use supply/demand as some kind of shield against any discussion of "maybe the price has crawled too high".

So what I'm really saying is I did it.

Fake CCs and real custom cables.

Was the price maybe too high?  Yeah, but if someone is willing to pay then that's the price.  Sucks.

It's disheartening to read about this.

Get on skype

[bueller]

It shouldn't be too hard to figure out who is selling these though right? Get all the people with fakes into an IRC channel and backtrack the sales until you hit a common thread, unless you already know who made them. In which case I say name and shame.

I don't like fake CC but i know that somebody will make CC fake because CC take great value of collection.
i still continue to collection Skulls from Click Clack not cause CC was fake by other guy.

Someone name some names. I have this pitchfork here and my torch is just burning away! Let us descend upon the guilty, thus destroying him and forcing us to question who is the real monster! Morels, values, and judgment etc....

Not yet.  If you guys start crucifying the culprit we may never see our stuff again.

Oh right, I forgot.

Fake CCs, real cables, pitchfork sharpening and torch lighting.

[DrugER]

First of all, so sorry cause problems.

Some time ago I bought some CC from Korean friend.
of course, I gave a fair price to buy

I did not even know that this was fake.

Some members who had deal with me, i pmed 'return to me all that fake CC'.

It also embarrassed me.

My friend said he got these in the past from geekhack.

i'll talk with him more. I'll have to ask more details.

and i'm a vendor,  i do not have any reason to make fake cc and trade.

This problem is not intended at all.

Weren't you the least bit suspicious when you got that many translucent Clacks?  Translucent Clacks are far from common, so I know I' be beyond wary if someone had that many of them for sale to me.

[demik]

not only that.. the stuff he traded for (from my understanding) was way cheaper than the price of translucent clacks

[mkawa]

LOOK

i have a huge problem with this clack thing and it has nothing to do with clacks. it has to do with the misuse of any allusion to "supply/demand". idiots who think about economics for like a month and then never bother to try to understand it again will shout "SUPPLY AND DEMAND ARE LINEAR CONSTRAINTS ON PRICE!!" all effing day but they have no idea what they're talking about. micro markets don't really obey this when you look closely enough, and macro markets DEFINITELY DO NOT OBEY THIS. here's a thought experiment. WHERE THE HELL DOES DEMAND COME FROM? think about clacks. they are keycaps, yes, but they aren't really keycaps that have only function. they are like 99% form. so does the demand come from the number of keyboards in the market? no. does the demand have to do with the fact that there are no other keyboard decorations on the market? absolutely not.

it's exactly like people who don't realize that a) everything is a spring and b) hooke's law is a first order approximation of SOME SPAN of the behavior of every material. for every material, there exists a linearizable span along the stress/strain curve over which hooke's law applies. but this could be like  "when there are 3000lbs sitting on it" as in the leaf spring/rear torsion beam in a C5 corvette, or the very edge of behavior of a ceramic composite, right before it hits yield and shatters into a million pieces.

GEEKHACK IS ABOUT UNDERSTANDING SCIENCE DAMNIT.

and clacks. it's obviously about clacks too, but you know, understanding them...

i guess.

I think part of the problem was allowing CCs to be sold for unconstrained amounts. Naturally, the prices increased and eventually someone got the bright idea to make counterfits because people are selling them for $$$. None of this would have happened if GH prohibited the reselling of the items on GH for such amounts. Obviously, there isn't much that can be done now to have prevented this mess, but it's worth nothing. The whole drama behind CCs is really silly from an outside perspective and it's a shame that it's plagued this forum to this extent. GH is supposed to be about innovation, sharing ideas/knowledge...not reselling $20 items for $$$. Hopefully the admin staff will initiate a change on the forum for the better.

The thing that I find a little suspect is that in the trade thread there is no mention of him having more than the 2 pictured for trade. So he listed 2 items for trade and then traded those 2 items many times. I don't know about everyone else but that doesn't sit right with me.
