I just got my big baggie of factory seconds in today. Thought I might show them off. So now, I will recap what I got in this with a...
Here is the load partially separated into some jars I had lying around that were part of a failed attempt to make vacuum chambers.
I've broken up the post into individual "MORE"s so this page doesn't take forever to load for people with crap internet.
Let's start with the boring old blackies.

I have a few jokes here about separating the black keys from the rest, but they all make me seem like a southern jackass, so I will give them a pass.
The bag contained what appears to be a nearly full set of DCS blanks.
I don't have many keyboards at the moment that would benefit from a total blackout - so I might decide to pack them up as a TKL set and see if anyone wants to buy it for cheap.
I also got the requisite load of white legend detritus that I don't really intend to put on a board. I have little use for these. If anybody needs something specific, hit me up.

I also have some of those silly flat SAs that everyone likes so much too. These will probably be bases for keycaps I will carve/mold in the future.
And I separated all the fancy coloreds (couldn't resist that one) into a pile in case somebody decides they need them for a set.
The special use profiles I got were:
More
These things. Glow in the dark?
Iso enter keys I have pretty much no use for.
Keys with this weird pyramid profile that I don't recognize
Flat top/round edge - these are destined to be victims of my experiments
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (clear holes).
Lumpy doo-dads I'm not a fan of.
Things with non-cherry stems:
More
Iso enters for the buckling squares
Stems that make me feel less adequate as a man.
A disappointing number of Alps - totally going to make alps artisan crap now.
And some keys that remind me of some crackers I had when eating with a bunch of vegans.
I got a few things that were a little odd to me:
More
I WANT A BIG CEREAL WITH A BIG TASTE
Telephone?
Le European Telephono?
Real winners, like everyone that I went to elementary school with.
BARS IN SPAAAACE
I got the SA motherlode though.
More
By our powers combined....
The 1u randoms...
The multi stem modifiers...
Some heart monitors and weapon buttons...
The Angled SA crew...
And the rest...
...we become MECHACLUSTER**** - Most glorious of all SA keyboards
I'm using this now. I don't even care what you judgmental types think. It feels so much better than those slanted thin lipped turds that came with this thing. I can't wait until the 1976 is released. I actually kinda like using an angled top row SA on the 'w' key. It makes finding my gaming keys easier. It is like having a homing bump for my WASD.
I have a load of things that people might want to pick from if they are in need - that or I'm going to sacrifice them to the evil god of Sculpey.

Now in two flavors:
Carpenter's DreamSA
And normal
And finally I have the good ****.

I got these interesting caps that have some inadequate mixing of the polymer that gives a neat marbling effect. Some might consider it lame, but I like it.
Whoops? How did these get here? Complete mistake, this totally wasn't some sneaky self-promotion. Honest.
Fun legends and fancy stuff.
A yelling button, a grumpy greenie, transparent red, a smattering of wolves (4 transparent, 1 invert, 2 regular), a super key, a deskthority key, a key my boss will try to steal from me, a superer key, and a really sweet \gamma that looks like it might have been a mistake from the nuclear data rad hard set that is actually a \lambda.
So I hope you enjoyed this display of my bag-o-crap. If anyone wants/needs something, let me know. I'd like to get more stuff that has the 'classic' SA look (nuclear data, etc.) if anybody WTT. Also, I need CTRL sized SA profile caps. I think they are 1.25u on my board. I will measure later. The calipers are all the way downstairs and I'm sleepy.

Super Special Caps That I was amused by. Beware of puns ahead:
For commanding my robotic models | As if tanks were difficult to find | is a BMW | But only if it is a high top with steps on the side | I yell this enough at programs I should use it | This button is a misprint of the Israeli flag - which is used for super secret Jewish commands |
What rad? | For when you need to nut up | Out of balrasdflkajs; | Matthew Luke and John, out | I don't remember why I thought this was amusing | *raises eyebrows* |
dold rad what now? | Yes, text is rad | the irony is that this Disabl key doesn't have a stem. Literally crippled | For getting people out of a queue | The facial expression when I saw how much the crapbags cost | It looks like a tiny square top hat |
Public indecency command | This one had a surfactant joke, but I don't think it would mix well in this crowd. | sight line? | have you been talking to rad? | Half of the Miami color scheme | Note to self: add to car |
2! | Inside joke. Nevermind. | Nigerian keycap | Other half of Miami color scheme. | The Face of BoeC | Wtf are those stabs? | Are these buckling spring stems? |
