Photekq,

If it has to come to it I don't mind with you having to hold on to my money for a little bit longer in order for a better chance this to happen.  The way I see it you already have my money so I'm committed to it anyway.

Remember that one order doesn't necessary mean one set, the 250 MoQ is the number of sets.

I think for the sake of shipping you might be. Just because of geographical location.
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

Yeah pretty sure switzerland is always EU. It usually means just countries in Europe, not the actual EU.

Also, would anyone consider selling just the mods from one of these sets after they receive them? I'm after a set of ansi mods. I would even consider just buying the two ansi keys (enter and backslash) from an ISO user.

No they don't. And also this GB didn't start at order 1, since I ran Olivetti/RA through the site first.

Don’t forget this. Your 108 order could just be 60 sets.

It looks like he ran his sentence through google translate about 10 times, but I think he's saying that he's heard that the group buy has been aborted, but he's not sure, and that he does not want to be aborted also.

Update:
I had hoped to join this GB by today, but the funds I had been relying on haven't come in yet and I'm afraid I'll miss it. In case it tips and/or doesn't extend, would someone be willing to sell their order later to me instead of canceling it? I'm interested in the Main Set, Extra Set, and Spacebars. Thanks.

The official deadline has passed.

How is the order count looking? Are we close enough that a few more weeks will realistically help or is this GB about to be canceled?

We are at about 150 main set orders, 100 extra set orders, roughly 100~ of each spacebar size counting in Chinese and Vietnamese orders.

I'm not sure if it's worth extending the deadline.

Well, I guess we should at least try it.

I am really surprised though that not even the spacebars hit MOQ. In Ivan's GBs those normally hit MOQ first because people always have a use for them.

I could afford another set for resale later. If enough other members could help as well, we might have a chance  :thumb:

OTD have launched a Dolch GB of GMK two years ago.when Dolch hit the MOQ of 250, they add White legend Of Black set(WOB) orders to GMK. The WOB set  don't need  MOQ, the WOB sets will be produced even just they have only 100 WOB sets. WOB set has been regarded as a part of Dolch set by GMK.
My suggestion is that  we could link classic beige to skidata replic GMK set and make classic beige become a part of skidata. If skidata set hit the MOQ, then the classis beige don't need MOQ. Both  sets will be produced by GMK as a complete order.
ps: the alfha of classic beige is compatible with Reverse-Skidata Add-on Pack quite well.

Sorry to discuss about associate this classic beige with skidata replic and making them become a complete one set. then Classic beige will come true without MOQ, let's try it ,please.

It's important to note that Stripe is mainly for companies, last time I checked, it was only available to individuals in US, with a US SSN (I'm guessing the personal availability has extended, they don't advertise it, but still, it's far from a free payment processor, like paypal once was)
Edit: To clarify, this is for accepting payments, on the paying side, anyone can pay

I don't understand how this could help in anyway. Combining two sets doesn't make it cheaper.

To me it's pretty obvious that most people are not willing to pay a premium price for a premium set.

If Classic Beige was a 50$ JTK set we probably would have reached MOQ already...

If you combine two sets, are you really doubling your chances, or are you dividing your chances because only people that are interested in both sets are willing to pony up for a double GMK order? Personally, that strategy would put both sets out of my reach.

From shower_king's post it sounded like they had 250 Dolch orders, and then could add 100 WoB. So it seemed separate.
