Have fun.

[jdcarpe]

Nice find! Ordered 2. Thanks, kmiller8!

[i3oilermaker]

Sold! Thanks for the heads up!

[AKIMbO]

Bought 2....lol wth is this for real?  Are they really authentic? So confused.

[inlikeflynn]

this is craziness that EK has these . makes me not feel so bad about getting any CC's in the current sale now

those are real Cherry Esc keys in the picture, so ?

[singaporean123]

is this the $200 ones that people pay for?!

[metafour]

"and yes, more double-shot Cherry keycaps to come!"

[jdcarpe]

is this the $200 ones that people pay for?!

Yes.

[fruktstund]

Now this is crazy. Ordered three. (No $50 shipping on single keycaps apparently, wow!)

Will probably be even cheaper if stuff works out with GMK, but nevertheless this is nice if you like me want some red esc goodness in the meanwhile, I guess. <:

A picture that comes to mind is litster's "$250 avatar". With the text "$5".

[metafour]

is this the $200 ones that people pay for?!

I sure do hope so! Buy for $5 sell for $200, I'm in!!!

[singaporean123]

is this the $200 ones that people pay for?!

Yes.

and EK is selling them for $5 o.o? Pretty sure they'll still sell even if they're priced at $50-$100!

[rayuki]

Wow I hope these are real so crazy, was just about to pay $100+ for one on these forums...

Hope EK can just ship these together with my clack

I'm wondering if EK has been having GMK produce some stuff for them and this is the first item available for sale. As I posted above, they say there are more doubleshots coming.

[Halverson]

Well I'll be. Grabbed 2.

I suspect this as well. This is probably their first order made by GMK.

GMK might be making them soon, they won't be rare anymore so the "value" will drop sharply if GMK does come through

[rayuki]

Makes sense if EK is using gmk lol.he would be able to afford the high moq

Deepest and sincerest apologies to those who paid high prices for their genuine cherry Escs then.. there's probably a chance that they have no resale value now

[rayuki]

Yeah i think ur right, but I still expect to see a heap of these on ebay soon to cash in on the people that arnt aware

[WRXChris]

[demik]

Awww, crap. And I thought I was getting into the club with my purchase.

[AKIMbO]

akimbo wanna trade your filco zero for 5 genuine red cherry esc?

Lol nope.  But this goes to show everyone...nothing is truely rare...rarity is simply a facade.

all hype created by people to feel better about themselves

[boost]

Ordered 2.

[kaiserreich]

Lovely. More Red Escs to go around.

[Turbo Slaab]

In for two as well! Woot Woot!

Sweet in a number of different ways. I side with the folks who appreciate things not for their rarity but for what they actually are. Plus I've been waiting to find another reason to buy from EK since I thought it was a little wasteful to drop $3.50 on shipping for a $3.50 spacebar.

Wish CCs were like this - with my luck my count is probably going to stay at 0 until then  )

[SmallFry]

There seems to be about 1000 that they bought (906 in the inventory at this moment) so, that gives me the impression that GMK will be able to deal with us! Whoo!

You should keep the $250, cross it out and put "lol $5"

There's no way we could order 1000 of any sets even between all the communities

I think it's awesome that they are supplying this a'plenty.

But let's also think about it this way; If everyone is driving the same car, what's to look at anymore?

Just sayin'.....

[rowdy]

Damnit!  In for two.

Why do you do this to me GH?!?

well, EK is a company.

not a group buy.

and that's just one order out of the who knows how many they put in. dont get your hopes up too high.

A sense of humour - very good

[nullstring]

why not.. in for 2

EDIT: you know, $5 is probably even high for one of these.
With GMK making them in bulk, they should probably sell for the same as the sp ones.. which are $1.50..
I'll pass... Doesn't seem like anything significant to me.

[MMB]

Now the world of keyboards will be homogenized, and everyone will have the exact same stuff. Sounds pretty fun to me....

It's not really about who has the coolest stuff, it's more about the time, effort and fun into finding lost or rare treasure. I liked looking at things that I know rarely exist, even if I know I will never own them.

[alaricljs]

...  it's more about the time, effort ...

Which many people are saddened to see can easily be skipped over with a sufficient supply of money.

[demik]

it is when these prices starts hitting insane amounts and with the picture whoring and unnecessary gawking.

[singaporean123]

Must feel good being EK. "hmm this key is $250... I'll order 1000 and make it $5, suck it"

[MMB]

Not true, really. Some people like lysol find these things simply by effort. It's the people that want to skip that effort and spend all of their money. But they can still be found without much money.

[demik]

u just repeated what he said..

[phetto]

So driving a ferrari is all about bragging, not about enjoying?

jk

Not everyone will necessarily use their Esc keys - some might hold on to them in a vague hope that one day they will be worth $250 again.

Hence why I wanted to get my Phantom for under $100. The hunt.
