Reliving the classic series, GMK G80-9009HAU.(NEW UPDATE)
We will be compiling the orders today, expect to receive invoices soon. Updates on the remaining orders will go up after we done compiling the orders, so everyone knows if they got it or not. Again, thank you all for your love and support in this groupbuy! Our biggest regret is not having enough to go for everyone who's interested.
Justin.
------------------------------------------------
hi everyone, we have receive a few requests of transfers.
we have to be fair to those in the waiting list, which means we will not entertain any request of transferring priority rights.
if those in the priority list orders something, we will invoice that person and ship to that person only. if we noticed the name of the person or the address is different or the paypal is different, we'll cancel your order.
we all know this is a nice set, and a lot of people wanted to get their hands on it. some asked as early as after the groupbuy ends. assuming if they are in the 6th position of the list, and one person from the first 5 didn't order the full set, it means #6 got the chance to get his/her full set. but what if someone from waaay down below in the list asked the person from the first 5 who didn't order to order for him/her, then in this sense, #6 was robbed of his/her full set. how would you feel if you are #6? we don't want that to happen, and hence we will try our best to make this a fair game to everyone.
we hope that everyone understands this and we hope that everyone will work together to keep this community a clean and faithful community of keyboard enthusiasts.
Justin.

CLOSING DATE: 2 Dec 2016We are finally coming to an end for this groupbuy despite the many hurdles and problems that we hit into along the way. A big thank you to all participants to make this a success! We appreciate your patience with us, and we are very sorry for the unwanted delays but FWIW we still manage to keep the time frame well within a year
, we have tried out new methods and we have learned much from it, we'll improve ourselves and we hope to see you in our future groupbuys!
A big shout out to kekkon for taking the baton from me when my hands are full. Without him, we would probably be in a state much worse than this. He spend a lot of effort and time doing the sorting by himself when the rest of us couldn't due to various reasons. In the end, we are all very happy to see the new owners of the 9009 set proudly posting their photos!
As promised, we now will go to the leftover phase. There isn't much left, which we felt both thankful and regretful at the same time. Thankful because we manage to ship out *all* our sets, regretful because we don't have enough for everyone. With that being said, we have compiled a waiting list based on the timestamp of PMs received, and as well as posts on the thread. This may not be the best way, but it is what we decided upon.
The first link contains a list of names in order of priority to order the set.
Sheet 1 - Name list
Sheet 2 - List of extras

List of names and extrasThe second link is the Google form to submit your order. Don't have to wonder how many sets are left, just submit what you wanted to order and we will send out invoice accordingly.

[OLD]
Hi everyone,
We have receive quite a lot of request regarding shipping address changes, enquiries on orders status/what have I ordered, and also refund on extra shipping charges. Please fill in the form so that I can centralize all the requests.
https://goo.gl/forms/RzekVqr1qdcbXRZQ2In case if you don’t fall into any of the category above and have not joined my Cherry Logo GB before, please fill in the form as well because of the way Paypal works, we only have email address instead of phone number. Even though Pos Malaysia accepts shipping without phone number, we do however thinks that it is a safer way to tag the phone number to the parcel. As of now, we only have phone numbers from the previous Cherry Logo GB spreadsheet BUT we are not sure if those numbers are still in use or not.
Thanks for the help and support throughout this GB, this is our second GB (first full keyset GB, if it matters) and we are still in the learning process.
This GB has given us a very tough but good experience and we hope to improve from here on. Perhaps it is our mistake for trying too many new things into this GB and thus causing such a huge mess on top of the mess that is going to come along the way.
We got demotivated when we face with so many obstacles and there are days where we just want to
put the GB right at the back seat. We apologize that we couldn’t keep a clean record like the Cherry logo GB, in fact we created an even longer time frame as opposed to what our initial objective is, and that is fastest GB delivery record.
We failed and disappoint you guys in that aspect, but right now we are trying to wrap this up with limited manpower. Please bear with us for a little while longer, this is a beautiful set and we want to see to it that everyone got theirs.
Justin.
===========================================

)
UPDATE Mon, 11 July 2016, 02:47:52Hi everyone,
My apologies for not updating much or sign in for the past week due to a long holiday over here in Malaysia.
I am yet to receive any updates from GMK, but since now my schedule is back to reality, will call up GMK and get updates from them in email format as well so I could show it to everyone here.
Again, my deepest apologies for stirring up some of your worries.
I've received numerous PMs about extra/leftover sets, at the moment I am unable to confirm the number of units available until I receive the whole order and shipped out the pre-orders.
Justin.
=================================================
UPDATE Thu, 16 June 2016, 22:49:59
Well there's some slight delay, but here's a concrete promise by GMK. Hopefully we'll get good news from GMK about 10 days later!
Sorry, there's another email to attach here.
UPDATE Sun, 05 June 2016, 19:21:23Sorry for the lack of updates and communication, I got absorbed into Overwatch universe. GMK has updated me that the estimate of delivery to me will be around
mid of June! Invoicing will resume by batches. Those who only paid deposits will receive your invoice soon.
UPDATE Wed, 06 April 2016, 11:07:35The wait is over (for some), the GB now resumes!
Order closed!Last order @ 14 April 2016 11:59PM (GMT +8)However, I'd like to point out that the sales of the spacebar is quite low. Here's the number for the spacebar order against 150 MOQ.
Spacebars orderedWhite:
<50%Beige:
<50%Pink:
~70%Olive:
~70%The spacebar will be delivered even if it doesn't reach 150 units ordered, but what this means is the remaining spacebar will be out from my own pocket
and I probably can change my spacebar everyday without having to use the same spacebar twice.
I will appreciate it very much if you guys can chip to order some more spacebars for yourself or as a gift to others.
The order will close at 14 April 2016 11:59PM GMT+8.

Alright, the reaction I get from you all are a bit unexpected, so I think I'll explain and clear it up.
First of all, yuktsi is not buying 50 sets and clobber up all the MOQ. Geez.
As radio_killah guessed it correctly, I wanted to "finalize" whatever order we have first and then make orders with GMK.
Seeing how the orders are quite slow, I am guessing probably due to the fact that the MKB community's trust in the forum GB style is at it's lowest point, no thanks to the Miami Night's drama.
So if I could get the proof of purchase from GMK early, and post it up, and then re-opens the GB, it'll regain the momentum from the community as there is valid proof to show that this GB will not go south and that this GMK 9009 set will happen.
The spacebar kits are probably just 20-30% ordered from the MOQ, but I really like the color of the spacebar and I don't want to disappoint you guys
(I'm sorry that I have already make some of you felt disappointed from my announcement of the premature order closing.) who bought the spacebar kits, I will make sure the spacebar goes into production.
I will open up the GB again (no increase of price) after I have made payments to GMK next week.
Sorry again for causing the emotional turmoil

About this group buyUnlike most of the other groupbuy, this gb will proceed regardless whether the MOQ is achieved or not, simply because we love the vintage look of the Classic Beige (CB) colorway with a little hint of light colours.
