Title: PBT 104 Engraved White Keycaps
Post by: mmmty on Thu, 16 June 2011, 12:24:00: Combining with noodles group buy
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?18985-Colored-Space-Bar-and-Blank-Modifiers

My obook agent is a slacker

I will be ordering some PBT 104 Engraved White keycaps from taobao if somebody want to join in. We can split the fee and shipping cost. I did some searches today and this seems to be the one.

I'm getting a quote for an order of 10 sets. This will be a quick group buy so get in if you want one.
Deadline is midnight Sunday 6/19 ET so we can get the keycaps quickly.
Total will be (total cost/#people) + $10 shipping from me to you.

Keycaps should work with Leopold. Not sure about spacebar though http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?15482-Leopold-Space-Bar

Keycaps look to be the same as imsto's.

Not sure about shipping cost from my house to your place but should be less than $10. I'm not trying to make a profit. But it's better for everyone to over pay $1-$2 each than me having to pay $1-$2 out of pocket to ship each set to everyone.

Title: PBT 104 Engraved White Keycaps
Post by: noodles256 on Thu, 16 June 2011, 18:28:25: you could use that extra $20 to buy 24 tacos from taco bell.

assuming you have the 12 for 10 deal around your area

No Mass Order is complete without it.

I'm going with my usual obook agent. Unless you have a better suggestion. This is my first group buy so I'm making adjustments as I go. Total will be (total cost/#people) + $10 shipping from me to you. Cut off will probably be how many set I can buy before shipping becomes too expensive (how many sets the agent can jam into 1 big box).

I know... lesson learned. Next time check and make sure they have the stuff you want to buy first. Who knew PBT engraved white keys would be hard to find. I'll restart the thread when they're back in stock.

I sent my agent an email with no response. guessing since it is the weekend.

I am waiting to send the total order when I have a complete order list which should be by tomorrow night
Title: PBT 104 Engraved White Keycaps
Post by: mmmty on Sun, 19 June 2011, 01:32:39: See if you can add 10 sets of PBT engraved white for 9 people on the list + 1 for me. I guess we're sending paypal to you once you have the total.

I don't know how much shipping to EU will cost. If you're willing to pay, I'll ship it to you. My guess is somewhere between $10-$20 for shipping from my house.

It's been moved to this thread (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?18985-Colored-Space-Bar-and-Blank-Modifiers) and I think they're out of stock atm. Just wait. They might get some more and restock soon.
