[WTS] 4 Bros and 2 gamer set ESC keys

[isaske]

This is very hard for me to do, since I'm a real fan of brocaps and love him and his dedication to this community.
Since I'm in a real pinch from a financial point of view, I sadly need to sell those. I've been collecting them for the past 2 years and the decision to sell them was really hard but turned out to be unavoidable.
I just don't want people to bash on me because of the price I'm selling them for (I DO NOT want to make profit from having Brocaps and participating in Bro's sales!) so I felt the need to atleast say why I'm doing it in the first place.
What's up for grabs?

Mellow yellow V2 (MX)
Northen Lights GID Reaper (MX)
Bro-Ho-Ho Reaper (MX)
Slurple V2 (MX)
Gamer set ESC key - Pink (Topre)
Gamer set ESC key - Purple (Topre)

All keys are unused, never unpacked from the plastic bags, never put on a keyboard. They were exclusively owned as collectibles.

Price: 380$ for all (I DONT SELL THEM SEPERATELY, THEY COME AS A PACK! Take it or leave it.)

[THSdrummer]

Sorry you have to sell. They look gorgeous.

If you decide to part with them individually, I'd love to pick up the Bro-Ho-Ho Reaper and Slurple V2. I don't own any Bros, but am extremely interested in seeing the details for myself.

Good luck with the sale and your financial situation.

You say you don't want to make a profit off them... But you definitely are.

[mbrown559]

You say you don't want to make a profit off them... But you definitely are.

They are not priced much higher than the normal price for a BroCap.  Maybe he trying to make back the extra money he had to pay for shipping, customs etc?   You don't know if he'd making a profit or not. Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions.

Compared to ebay auctions I see for $150 PER cap.

[Sed8op8]

I have been looking for a brohoho for awhile I never thought I would have a shot it looks like I still don't 8-/

[azhdar]

If someone is interested in splitting, I'll take the reapers only.

I'm not giving him a hard time for the price although it sounds like an unfortunate situation.

thats what I wanted but no response 8-/

[trees]

If he came down to atleast a semi-reasonable price i would consider buying and splitting up to those who wanted. But currently his prices just cause 100% loss for someone selling at retail. You would need like 75$ per cap, including just the esc's

[sth]

when has shipping ever been included in resale price? 

[SpAmRaY]

People don't act like if you were in a pinch you would not do the same thing.

These are sold privately for much more than is being asked here.

Isaske you might have better luck on ebay or even r/mechmarket but do be cautious with who you deal with, ship well packaged and take photos to protect yourself from sleazy buyers.

i think the issue is:

I DO NOT want to make profit from having Brocaps and participating in Bro's sales!

[chilldude_22]

Personally I don't think the price is THAT bad. Individually, it's pretty reasonable. I offered to buy all of them and would be willing to split up the gamers and reapers but I haven't heard back from him.

Right he doesn't want to make profit but his current life situation dictates that he needs to.

I would be forever grateful if someone bought and split this buy up for others.

[Sed8op8]

Pm'd a bunch sorry about that haha

[3K]

How about we get some people together, buy them, and make a raffle? (for example 38 people pay $10 and have a 1/38 chance to win)

[raymogi]

I'll take em. PM incoming.

[Sed8op8]

I've offered to take them a couple of times I think they are gone 8-/

[nickheller]

He never got back to me either

[baldgye]

Bro-Ho-Ho is a Reaper I love, it's a shame yours never saw love and was kept in a sealed bag :/ I wish I could afford to liberate these, just for that Reaper

[btctopre]

He took them out of the bag, there are a few pics in his post history

[TastaturenAuslese]

I wouldn't mind buying them and splitting them with people, but it seems like it's going to have to be, like $63 per cap to break even.

if you

or anyone did I would be happy to pick up that bro-ho-ho

i'll be in for this. i'll take any chance of finally obtaining a brocap.

Let's see! It doesn't seem like he's replying though.

I would definitely pay that much for one. I am really interested in the bro-ho-ho and slurple. I'd just buy the Reaper (hopefully) so someone else could pick up a Bro.

You may need to check your facts before stating them.  Cause your prices are off on some of these caps.  Just saying.

[TastaturenAuslese]

Can someone post here if he replies to you so we can all be put out of our misery? =)))

Everyone wants the Bro-Ho-Ho, and im just thinking that Northern lights looks hella cool.

What prices were off as I looked them up ? It doesn't matter really I was just stating that it was much higher then the retail price as someone had tried saying .

Edit: oops the brohoho was $40

Even if you doubled the estimate without p&h, it's still less than the asking price.

[mbrown559]

Everyone just seems a little salty in this thread haha.  Yes you are right, they are more than retail.  But he could have easily gone to ebay and sold them for much higher.  Many people have offered to buy, so obviously 380 is not an unreasonable price.  Not sure why people even expect to pay retail for these things when they are so hard to get in the first place.  I've been trying for over a year and still have yet to get one in an actual Bro sale.  (I know bro has stated he disapproves of people selling for profit, yet life happens and sometimes we need some help) 

[heedpantsnow]

Sorry you are in such a bad financial pinch. Hope you get it all sorted out quickly.

I've sold a couple keys now and they were all sold for their retail cost and not a dollar more. Why? Because I didnt do anything to add value to them. Profiting grossly off these keys essentially permanently moves them into a price bracket where many are priced out. Unless you have someone ridiculously altruistic and willing to lose money, most people are typically going to sell the keys for the same or more than they paid. I fully support Bro Caps and other makers in blacklisting people for profiting off his art because they are essentially removing those keys from access to a quantifiable percentage of the community.

[chilldude_22]

I do respect the people that choose to sell them at retail (along with Bro's wishes). But let's be realistic about what these are. They're fun keycaps that add some visual coolness and pride to a keyboard. It's really as simple as how much you value those two things. The people "removed from access" are the ones who don't value the keys as much and that's fine. They're missing out on only a very small part of this hobby.

[Fire Brand]

Why doesn't everyone stop thread crapping about the price and only post if you actually want them that way everyone is happy also the mellow yellow might be a very rare one.

Also I mentioned a couple of times I wasn't giving him guff about the prices and even went so far to say that its an unfortunate situation he has to sell his caps!

[Remenition]

I could pick them up and sell separately, no profit involved. already pm'd op. not sure if they're still available though.

[TastaturenAuslese]

I like 3K's idea about the raffle lolol.

[THSdrummer]

Everyone wants the Bro-Ho-Ho, and im just thinking that Northern lights looks hella cool.

I like that one a lot too, but when I made my original post in this thread, I didn't want to take the others keys that others would enjoy more than me away from them. The Northern Lights Reaper is beautiful though.

[TastaturenAuslese]

What do you guys think about this? I was thinking if I got it, I would raffle them off at $10 per ticket, and then donate what I get beyond my breakeven to Absyrd.

[Remenition]

I like the raffle idea. What's going on with absyrd? and I would definitely do that if I got them. Depends on who scores the lot!

[TastaturenAuslese]

Depends on who scores the lot!

Hopefully whoever does goes beyond keeping it all for himself. Haha, that's a lot of bros that could go for the community. I'd understand picking one or two from the lot though.

Definitely! I'd probably keep one of the gamer esc's for myself, I would loooooooooooooooooooooooooooove the v2 and reapers but like other people would probably get better use out of 'em and it'd be good for someone to win a bro at 10$

[THSdrummer]

To be honest, I'd be a little disappointed since I brought a specific key first, but I suppose a raffle would be much more even for the community and replicate the actual bro sales.

[suicidal_orange]

Sounds like a great idea if these haven't already sold 5x over.  $10 puts them back under retail for reselling and the "losers" have donated to a good cause

That's what I was gonna ask a mod if it came around to it. Anyone know?

Was thinking if it came down to a matter of integrity, I could give access to Google spreadsheet for the form to a trusted mod.
