Duck Black Bird Kustom Group Buy

[kawasaki161]

Why wont there be acrylic plates? Could we get WKL or SPRiT to help us run a GB for them?

I doubt there will be enough people interested to justify a GB for it...

I'm still thinking about getting one made for myself (depends on how I like the Acrylic plate I get made for my TK78), if anyone is interested in buying one (I won't make profit from it) PM me, if I do end up doing it I'll PM you back with details, just don't expect anything before I had the board for a few days, I'd have to design them basically from scratch.

Do we really need that many for a GB? Plates for WKL are cut custom on order, should be possible to order just a few.

For me a GB means that there will either be cost savings or it will be necessary to hit a certain MOQ to even be able to produce it... if it is a very small custom order (I doubt we'd even hit two digits here) it's probably hardly a difference in per-unit price compared to just ordering one of them, so it is just a small custom order, but not a GB.

[maximm]

It looks like a plate was already created, could we not get the cad files for that one?

[yicaoyimu]

Is the acrylic plate part of the side glowing acrylic insert? I would only care about acrylic plate if it is.

[brighenne]

No inserts are separate pieces below the pcb.

Hi Elton, is there any chance I/we can get the dimension of the board?

Wow that's a really quick timeframe. The caps I'm planning to use with this board might not even be done by then.

That would be awesome. BUUT, I'm only interested if you finish all GB orders before starting this, I'd rather wait on a nice plate then have others' orders even more delayed, I hope you understand that  .
If you explain in further detail what you mean with "organize orders" it would be a lot easier for everyone to offer help.

Make the file and maybe I could run it, I don't think you should be doing any more with your history.

Its up to me,  None of your concern at all.
I wont give you my own design file. Its not yours 
The change is the essence of History.
Good for people to have many volunteers! 

[xondat]

Honestly I have to question what the **** you're doing still taking orders when you're still not fulfilling orders that are years old. You should stay away from anything group buy related if you're a decent person.

[sprit]

Are you my mom?  Are you jealous at all?
I am volunteering if i will have a free time.
Its upto me and ppl.

There goes the rest of my tax return. Way too gorgeous of a keyboard to turn down.

If you get a tax return every year that means you're over paying the government throughout the year and they are making money off your over payment via interest.  What you're looking for is to pay the least amount of taxes while trying to avoid having to pay more than 100.00 and/or get 100.00 back on your return.  That way you have a chance to enjoy more money throughout the year and invest in whatever you want instead of letting the government get rich off you and giving you a false sense of happiness during tax return time =)

Cheers

I work at a tax and accounting office so I hear this a lot, but to be honest it depends a ton on the individual and what they are planning on do with that money in the mean time.  If you're getting back less than $1000, that is probably around $40 extra in your paycheck assuming you're paid bi-weekly and a lot of people do not have the financial austerity to actually put that money away, rather they just spend it on an extra dinner date, night at the movies, an online purchase, or something else.  Add to that interest rates being awful right now (less than 1% from most banks and CUs) and your $1000 you put away studiously throughout the year earned an extra $10, congrats.

Now if the amount of the refund is a quite a bit higher ($5000+) I will recommend people change withholding so that they get more back through the year, but some people like to treat it as a savings account as it's somewhere that they can't touch it.  If that is the case, more power to them, as it's their money and they know themselves better than anyone else and if they know they need to save their money that way I'm just glad they recognize it.

QFT.  Nothing with taxes is cut and dried and applicable for every situation.

[MrDaddio]

Paid!

[elton5354]

Been busy lately to update the spreadsheet. I will tonight.

In regards to the above messages....lol all I have to say is if you're making money, you're not volunteering....🙄🙄🙄

[onmybikedrunk]

Thanks Elton! Eager to see that "paid" mark so we can get round 1 closer to being out in the wild... As always you're doing an amazing job!  Thanks for everything!

[elton5354]

Also, I will change the payment date a little further ahead to August 19th to give people a little more time.

Thank you for participating and making this happen!

Then you are selling and doing business, NOT volunteering because you are NOT a charity. 

At least I finish a group buy before moving on to other ones...

[sprit]

Cool down Mr!
Yes I agree you are much better in moral and ethical aspects! 
A GB is basically selling and buying at lower price.
And I prefer deploy several things together, its my character as you seen.
Done all of my speach!  Thanks! I

This is Duck Black Bird group buy as the title suggests. Whatever other stuff is better off in a separate thread.

And thanks again for Elton's work. )

Since the payment date is pushed back, if we can pay immediately is it still possible to order? the form is open but didn't want to just assume that was true.

You can still order.

[oatsbagotes]

Since the deadline is extended, would it be possible for me to add another plate and pcb to my order?

[HannahPeach]

I paid, wondering if it was possible to add an extra pcb/plate as well.

[baotung]

Hey elton,

I sent you a pm regarding changing the base color from silver to black. Let me know if you got it! Thanks!

[cheesybreadstick]

Finally Paid!
Sorry about being kinda late!

[MaNiFeX]

If only I weren't tied up in my own GB! 

[Waateva]

Also would like to know if I could add an extra PCB/plate.

[TheVengeance]

Am I still ok to order?

[Moistgun]

Am I still ok to order?

Buy period has been closed for a while. in the op.

[TheVengeance]

OK sorry, just saw that order form still open and also a post above saying that was extended.

[Moistgun]

OK sorry, just saw that order form still open and also a post above saying that was extended.

Oh, I assumed that just meant for payments.

Maybe you can order?

[Jeu]

I had ordered after I asked above and not added yet so my best guess is it's capped at 60 and there is a waiting list for non payers spots. Fingers crossed!

[tuco]

Good luck!

[Hexterdude]

Has anyone heard from elton recently?

[onmybikedrunk]

Yeah I just saw that too... 11 days is a long time.  I hope he's ok.  I just PM'd him.

[xondat]

I sent him an email on the 13th and I've had no reply. Hope things are alright.

[Dreamre]

I can confirm he's alright, he's been busy with work. I'm sure he'll be back soon.
