Post by: qtan5370 on Thu, 07 June 2012, 10:17:02

Here it comes to KBT second round this time. The first release Orange LED sold out in 2 days, so this time I set up a preorder group buyer to meet the demand.

now coming is around June 20

KBT Pure with Blue/Green LED with all 4 types of MX cherry switches

Price: 128.99 + shipping

KBT Race limited version white/Purple LED with all 4 types of MX cherry switches

Price: 145.99 + shipping

Shipping is around 22-28 dollar for most countries with 5-7 days with FedEx/USP/DHL/EMS/.

Some place has additional charge or can only mail by air mail, please refer to my store shipping guide for more detail or just contact me for shipping quote.

Again, all price including the PayPal fees. Price might drop later with quantity discount for the group buy.

Information for those two board can be wildly find on web.

Just put name down so you can get one

Payment please send to qtang1s@hotmail.com , with your id and what you need. Phone number is strongly suggest for phone (attached as note)

Pre-order will ship once arrive later order will cost you more (but not much, just 5-8 dollars). And it also might sold very quick. I decide to offer pre-order only here so I did not make a link on my web store as before.  

Order list:

jonnybastard (Race White LED with MX Red)

What's the detail on the limited edition for the race? No alum case this time I assume?

So do we pm, and reply here?
I would love a Pure KB without any LED, Cheery Red MX to CONUS. Of only LED, green is fine.

So needed these days if you are using a *nix like OS. Like in the command that I used as an example in a terminal (`cd ~` ls -a *)

Have a good one in กรุงเทพมหานคร, if that is true. (Being serious ;-) (I deal with international people online all day long at work, so I know these are not known across the globe)

Well, most people pre-order with others, because they open it earlier.

I just sell it on web store, I am sure I can sell all my inventory.

An important update is , the item jumped again.

I want to talk a little about how this thing happen.

The first opening pre-order in China was about 4 months ago, later appear in Tao Bao about 3 months ago. But, as a retailer for a long time in this business, I know they has higher chance to delay as before. We only get formal confirmed message about 1-2 weeks ahead or even less. And I was only open group buy pre-order when I get the formal confirmed released day, that's will less chance for long delay(well, a weeks delay still can happen).

But now, we have more people getting into the market and I know it is a free market, they can open a group buy long long time ahead that force me to react. This will be my first try but also possibly last try to do it such way.

From now after, I will only make group buy with discount prices or much confirmed information, and try my best to make pre-order delivery within 30 days. (PayPal protection only cover 45 days)

I closed this group buy due to the delay of product and changes, just don't deal with them anymore.

I will list item after it is in stock in my stock for the best price I can get.
