I've mostly seen ridiculous prices in /r/mechmarket. Most the people in here who put them on sale for ridiculous prices get called out and the eBay auctions get mocked. My point was that that person on Reddit was a **** for backing out of the deal due to dollar signs in their eyes, not bashing a community as a whole. All I stated was that it appears that most of the price inflation appears to be due to Reddit. For example, I was pissed when I saw some of my early caps being sold for 3x what I sold them for with shipping and shipping wasn't even included in the price.
Alos, have you been in r/mk lately? Anything regarding Clacks tends to include a few statements: 1. "Geekwhackers" are retarded idiots and 2. Counterfeiting is okay and should be supported.
I am on both reddit and geekhack. All I care about is great keyboard content, not counterfeiting and calling geekhackers geekwhackers. There are plenty of people on here that do auctions via PM (that have contacted me - agreed a price, then backed out because someone offered them more), aswell as on /r/mechmarket. Price inflation occurs because of ebay if anything. I understand that you feel upset because a cap you made sold for more $, as its your work being sold and you making no return, however that doesn't 'justify' (
) saying it's 'reddit's' fault, it's just 1 user. You never know, that guy might be a popular guy on GH that just uses reddit to keep his identity hidden, you never know these days. I know that's probably not the case but it's not reddits fault for that. Why should you get upset that you are all called geekwhackers? You shouldn't care really, it's just a name, afterall.
I dont want to rant as this isnt the right place to do so but I just hate it when redditors get all the flack for problems not directly/indirectly caused by it. We/them are people too
