The costs associated with a GB not hitting MOQ are almost zero. I don't see any downside to posting the full set and seeing how it does. I'm also skeptical that an IC is a good representative sample of buyers.

All of which is to say: full set, and let the GB numbers speak for themselves.

I wonder if there are users here who are active on Asian forums that could help collect orders and/or act as proxies.

I think those purple legends on that 1000HAG only have a purpose on UK ISO, unless you're thinking of making up some new purple legends.

It's everything you need to use an Originative or IMSTO set with a standard board. But speak up if you would also like/prefer a full classic beige GMK set.

I would love to get a full classic white/beige GMK set.   

Also would be interested in getting a separate pro pack with the 1.25 mods, center stem caps lock, etc. (Depending on price)

I know there are plenty of people that will buy the whole set and there are those that need the moogle so why not both? I would buy both!

Any price quotes yet from GMK? tinlong is doing his moogle buy but at $60 shipped idk. Ivan was talking about getting the sets down to about $100 for his upcoming Dolch buy. $100 for a complete set sounds way better than $60 for 20% of a set.

Sure we will.  Or are you just crapping the thread because you want your more expensive set to be successful.  I'd rather buy a marginally more expensive full set and would definitely be down.  Hell, if we had a $100 full set, I'd be down for two or three, even if I just resold one or two later.

That was a not so popular single color set. Classic beige is classic beige.

Ivan's current BSP set looks like it's going forward.  His last full set was unsuccessful because he was trying to please everyone and it was something like $200 to get a normal usable set.  A more standard $100 full set ANSI layout will easily hit the MOQ.

The demand for two tone classic beige is much higher than single tone white on dark gray. The idea for white on dark gray was to have a base set for mixing and matching mods and alphas, but with classic beige you don't have to do that. It's also much more attractive to people just getting into keyboards.

Of course, no one knows if this will reach MOQ without trying it  :p

It was like $130 or $120 at the end. Also, only ANSI? That's selfish.

EDIT: I don't think it's good to have 2 GMK full sets GB at the same time.

^ this. Ivan's dark grey full set is $120 for almost all layout you can think of but it still didn't hit MOQ.

Again, I'm just trying to provide the right information. Not saying this buy won't hit MOQ or anything.

EDIT: I don't think it's good to have 2 GMK full sets GB at the same time.

Emphasis on at the end.  I stopped following the thread because the price was all over the place.  I'm sure tons of other people stopped looking because they only knew about the incredibly expensive $200+ full set and never saw the price changes.  If you have a low initial price, more people are willing to commit.

And what's selfish about ANSI?  Honestly, ISO is the biggest drag on any GB.  If you look at the numbers, Tsangan kits get more commits than ISO sets in group buys.  ISO just fails, even with SP numbers.  Why should the community carry ISO on GMK when they can't even hit minimum quantities at SP?  I'm all for making ISO and helping if it's a little short, but when you can't even hit the low SP minimums, it's not fair to the community to subsidize it on GMK.  If you want ISO, split the cost of the minimum and give the ISO buyers the extras.  They can sell them to recoup their losses.

And who cares what you think about two GMK sets at the same time.  If we can have multiple people committing to $150+ on two different SP sets being made at the same time, who's to say they can't commit to $200 on two higher quality good GMK sets.

Typical American.

I mean ISO users also pay what they don't/have no use. We have this discussion for so many times so I'm not going to bring this up again.

And that's fine.  You never know if you don't try.  If you're talking $150+ sets, of course one or both won't do well, but if you do it close to the $100 mark, things will be different.  But you're just hanging on to one small part of what I said.  I'm just wondering why you're crapping this thread when you have your own more expensive GB.

Current BoB set is made by Plum, not BSP, even with the nice price ($75) and lowerer MoQ (300) compared to BSP (something like $130 for MoQ of 400), the set was struggling quite hard with the MoQ though  ::)

Yeah I think he is still deciding whether he is doing his next set in PBT or GMK.  I hope it's a classic beige/white PBT set.

Ivan's current BSP set looks like it's going forward.  His last full set was unsuccessful because he was trying to please everyone and it was something like $200 to get a normal usable set.  A more standard $100 full set ANSI layout will easily hit the MOQ.

It was like $130 or $120 at the end. Also, only ANSI? That's selfish.

EDIT: I don't think it's good to have 2 GMK full sets GB at the same time.

Emphasis on at the end.  I stopped following the thread because the price was all over the place.  I'm sure tons of other people stopped looking because they only knew about the incredibly expensive $200+ full set and never saw the price changes.  If you have a low initial price, more people are willing to commit.

And what's selfish about ANSI?  Honestly, ISO is the biggest drag on any GB.  If you look at the numbers, Tsangan kits get more commits than ISO sets in group buys.  ISO just fails, even with SP numbers.  Why should the community carry ISO on GMK when they can't even hit minimum quantities at SP?  I'm all for making ISO and helping if it's a little short, but when you can't even hit the low SP minimums, it's not fair to the community to subsidize it on GMK.  If you want ISO, split the cost of the minimum and give the ISO buyers the extras.  They can sell them to recoup their losses.

And who cares what you think about two GMK sets at the same time.  If we can have multiple people committing to $150+ on two different SP sets being made at the same time, who's to say they can't commit to $200 on two higher quality good GMK sets.

Have you seen Granite GB?
Have you seen R5 GB?
Iso people (not you) has paid for their INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE KITS (not for 4 Keys iso kit).
I don't want your "charity".

Ughhh neither of those have the MOQ of GMK, how is that a fair comparison?

It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

With GMK... offering DE,IT,ES,NO,SE,FR...etc. there is not enough interest from those people to reach MOQ of 250. With SP stuff you can offer anything as long as it makes like MOQ of 10 and people will pay that price it can be made. For GB though... it's like 4 keys extra on US so it's not a big deal to offer that ISO. But even still I will probably be cutting those dedicated keys and have the GB alternate letter pad side print on the US ones along with chopping some of the extra others that are not so common that were on the white/grey set from before.
Even still... that groupbuy came only 40 sets short of the 250 MOQ. If Korea forums participated at all then it probably would have happened but I have no idea what their deal is lately. Seems like they have all gone back to separatist stance.

Dolch buy will start soon, next month sometime.
