So, for all of you guys that were following my thread here and not the GB post, here is what I posted there earlier today:
Hello Everyone!
I have a sad update for you but I want to be completely transparent, so here it is: I am closing the GMK Oasis GB.
I discussed this with the vendor and I need to be realistic, we are not going to hit MOQ. Here are some numbers:
EU has sold a whopping 4 core kits, all in the first 24h of the sale going live, none have been ordered since then;
We sold a total of 31 Core kit in about 10 days, I don't see the keyset selling another 219 core kits in the remaining 3 weeks of the GB; and
We have sold more Rama keycaps than Core, Coffee and Kobe put together.
I guess I haven't done a good enough job promoting the keyset, but when I compare this to the DSA Milkshake GB that just launched and sold 200+ kits in the first day in the states alone, I can compete. I'd rather stop it here than see the vendors lose more money if I wait.
This is not to say that I am dropping the idea and abandoning it; far from that. I am still committed to the colorway and want it to happen, I guess now is just not the time, and I guess GMK is just not the profile. zFrontier reached out to me asking me if I had any interest in running the keyset in their new KAT profile, which I've been really interested in since they announced it. I am thus looking into that and other potential profiles (I already checked with zFrontier for DSA); I asked for the IC thread to be unlocked in order to post some more there and I will post this update there as well.
Last but not least, since we hit MOQ on the Rama X/O keycaps, I asked the vendors to contact the clients and see if they wanted to keep their artisan purchase. As for the other artisans (Briz and Artkey) I will wait for the product to relaunch before raffling them (the raijis are already casted, so you can be sure I will come back with the keyset!
Thanks to those of you would placed an order and sorry for the disappointment.
