There will be no formal group buy, the keys will be listed on techkeys.us when they arrive at the typical GB price (TBD). After one week the price will go up to help hedge the risk of me buying lots of extras. If you don't want to miss this window of buying at cost, sign up for product notifications at http://www.techkeys.us/contact-us.php (http://www.techkeys.us/contact-us.php) This process will eliminate the need to manage a thread, respond to 100's of PMs, send 100's of invoices, break legs to pay, and have you out the cash for 3-4 weeks. Instead when the keys arrive, you buy and they ship next day.
More realistic mock-ups given the constraints of DS molding.It looks good. I think the green should be a little bit darker though.

Thread moved to "Group Buy" Section.Thank you sir!
Thanks
I'll be interested in a set.They represent the blue meth that Walter cooks in the show.
Just curious, what are the 3x blue crystal keys for?
I contacted qwerkeys, they can do double shot green on black with white engraved prints, white border included. They can't provide clear blue though. I'll give you a quote with shipping costs later.
I'm waiting for SP proposition.
We are not in a hurry, let's wait for a detailed offer.
So as it stands right now, are we calling one "set" the two Br/Ba keys + 4 blue crystal keys?As of right now yes, that is what we are calling one set.

I think he was referring to their "B-Series". It is not technically a doubleshot, but it is two colors.True, it would actually look like the geekhack white/orange on black, they can engrave the white border on the green part of the cap. It seems we have more flexibility with B series regarding printing issues.
Things got out of control to be honest, I said I was running this in the Breaking Bad thread I started.It says in your first post that you didn't want to organize this whole thing. So I did some of the organizing for you! :D (Not to mention newbies can't post in the group buy sub-forum until they reach 60 posts :P ) I didn't mean to steal your thunder...
Before firing the Interest Check I figured that would be a good I idea to come up with a detailed offer: material, design, prices, shipping costs and so on.. I contacted QWERkeys and SP this morning and already got some answers but not enough to provide an exhaustive description.
I'm more than surprised to find this IC with almost nothing more than what I already proposed in the other thread, and even the keycaps are not the last update with the white border.
I want this set as much as you all do, there is no need to rush it and end up with something we won't be satisfied with.
I already started to deal with the manufacturers and now I want to carry this on, as I said earlier in the initial thread.
Nothing personnal here, I don't mean to hurt anybody.
I don't think anyone meant to step on your feet Batmann, their intentions are the same as yours; they want to make this awesome idea come to life! I understand that you want to be involved in this (rightfully so, it was your idea after all) but I don't see the harm in letting these guys collaborate with you on it. Just my two cents (for whatever that's worth, if anything, lol xD).
interested in 1, and maybe a few more ice's depending on how they turn out
It says in your first post that you didn't want to organize this whole thing. So I did some of the organizing for you! :D (Not to mention newbies can't post in the group buy sub-forum until they reach 60 posts :P )
As for the whole "white border" thing, that probably won't happen. In the interest of keeping costs lower, the simpler the keycap, the better. Let's not get overly complicated here...
I'd be willing to hear the cost of doing B series for the two elements before we say "no, cheap or bust"I already got quoted by SP and QWERkeys, I'm waiting for pictures and some answers to decide with you what is the best.
Batmann is too new to run a buy, in any case. No offense to you personally Bat.Which is why I am getting assistance from i3oilermaker on this GB...
He can certainly do a lot of the interest check type stuff like designing the keys and gathering interested parties, but when it comes down to the money collection, sorting, and distribution, we need someone more established.

Way to make me feel out of place Batmann :( I'm just trying to organize your ideas in a way that make it easier to manage. No need to get all defensive, we are both trying to achieve the same goal here. Again, like I said, all I'm doing is managing the thread. So here's what I'm going to do:
- Batmann will have the final say on the design. His design will trump all other designs. (So make it good, man! :P )
- i3oilermaker will handle the manufacturing / money collection / shipping for this GB.
- I will manage this thread and will see to it that everyone who wants one of these sets will get one.
I think that sounds fair for everyone, don't you think? Feedback on this please...
However if i3oilermaker runs it we know it'll all run smooth and if he is fronting some cash then it will get started sooner and everyone has meth on their keyboards sooner rather than later.
I'll wait to hear back from Batmann on this. If he still feels he should be more involved with this then I'll try my best to meet his accommodations.
Really looking forward to see how these translucent blues turn out!That is almost the exact color we need. Hopefully SP or QWERKeys can make them like that for us... (I think i3 said SP can do it?)
Wonder if they'll look anything like the ice blue CC (http://dangwang.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/img_0853_e1.jpg) on DanGWang's blog. :eek:

Yes, but it may be a week or so until we can see a sample.A week? Oh well, that's not too bad really... sounds like a reasonable waiting period.
And nothing in this universe will look as good as that CC
Well, I wasn't hoping for them to look THAT good, just similar :))I don't mean to derail my own thread here, but I just noticed you're from Connecticut. Where about in CT are you located?

Live in Torrington, work down in Shelton... I drive through Waterbury almost everyday on my way to and from work. I drive on Route 8 A LOT...
I almost watched Breaking Bad on netflix last night... But then I didn't.LEAVE!!!!!
We still need more interest to make this a full-blown GB.
Oh and I had an odd thought for an additional key. Ge. For GeekHack. And germanium. But mainly to do like they do on the show and use elements for the casts' names as well as the title.
I have a feeling they will resemble these caps:That will probably be something like that, it could look pretty good for this set if they can do it in light blue although there's no chance at all these will look like CC caps... this clear caps will be cheap (around 0.63 dollars a key at this point of the IC)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KBC-ABS-Semi-Clear-104-Keyset-Cherry-MX-Key-Caps-Filco-Ducky-Leopold-etc-/330753327381?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item4d026f4115
But we shall see...
It's too bad the legends can't be that precise... you could do something like with the title in |Br]eaking [Ba]d and do [Ge]ek [H]ack... using germanium and hydrogen, respectively.I think B series from QWERKeys are less restrictive than double shot. You would have a sort of double shot green on black and an engraved white print on the green part. I need to check with them how crazy we can go on the details.
edit. assuming SP doubleshots can't be that precise, please correct me and say I'm wrong, because I want that key. :P
edit #2. other thought... get a Ge and H key with the atomic number made.
.. glad to see my transparent blue key idea has caught on as well!It had to! :D
edit #2. other thought... get a Ge and H key with the atomic number made.
I've never even watched breaking bad, but those caps look too good to pass up. In for a set
My two cents:
I think for these keys SP should be the manufacturer. First off they can do the clear blue key. Second doubleshots provide a much clearer and consistent look than ingrave/infill. Finally, the price of SP double shots will be half (or less) than qwer keys. We might not have the white border, but the key will look sharp as hell.
I like the GH molecule idea but that is too much detail for SP Doubleshot or qwer IMO
here is a more realistic update of what B series would possibly look likeYou have really high hopes for QWERShow Image(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/63153503/BrBa.png)
there is no doubt this keycaps will be yours seeing the number of people already interested.
I hope SP will be able to give me a picture of the clear caps they are working on next week (it might not be the exact colour but this will give us an idea of the possible outcome)
What do you guys think of this GeekHack cap?Show Image(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/63153503/GH.BB.png)
I don't know yet if such design is possible, I'll check with QWERKeys later on

From what I have seen from them they won't be able to get the number portion on the top right keycap properly as their lines are quite thick
Also while the white boarder is cool their B series "double shot" has portion is quite small to work with, long with the white boarder you leave yourself with very little to no room for anything else.
Of course this is just me saying from what I've seen from them in the past maybe their techniques have improved since then but not that I am aware of

I trust you with the keycaps choice, you know better than I do.
B-series looked good on QWERKeys website but I've only seen pictures...
A GeekHack key would add a sort of signature to this set, I understand molecule design is not for DS. Any ideas regarding a simpler design that would suit Double Shot?
BTW what's the cap on your avatar made off i3oilermaker?

@tjcaustin: I was thinking the same thing. :P
be amazing if it turns out anything like those CC's can't wait to see a prototype!
Not sure if you're taking in ideas, but some Los Pollos Hermanos keys might be pretty cool

Don't have too high expectations for these crystal caps guys, SP don't have the talented and skilled gnomes ClickClack has..!
I personnaly hope they will be cloudy enough for the stem to be masked. Even if they're not, gentle sanding from the inside would probably do the trick.Not sure if you're taking in ideas, but some Los Pollos Hermanos keys might be pretty cool
If you mean the logo with the chickens, I'm not sure that wouldn't match the sober look of the keys, plus this is impossible to produce with double shot.
I'm not, but I'd be 100% behind caps that looked 'crystal' and not just cheap think transparent plastic caps you can get from ebay
Quick question: are the Br and Ba caps planned to be for row 1 (http://www.keyboardstory.com/images/others/Rows.png)?That was the exact layout I was planning on using, actually. I would ask Batmann or i3oilermaker for specifics on that question... they are handling the design/manufacture of these keycaps.
I'd be fine with that, but looking at the title (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120617210621/breakingbad/images/4/45/Season_2_poster.jpg) of Breaking Bad it would be nice to place the keys on the keboard the same way. Like for example Br on Insert (row 1) and Ba on End (row 2). I'd prefer that. Anyone with me? ^^
I would defer to batmann - it is his concept. I have Row 1 keys on my Delete, End, PgDown and its not really a problem.That's what I was thinking... just make them all Row 1, unless Batmann says otherwise.
At the beginning of this project my idea was to mimic the generic of the show saying one key row 1 and one key row 2 and cristals row 2 besides Ba.
But since we plan to add a geekhack signature this might not be relevant anymore.
I'll make 3 more keys for the signature Ge, H and Ha (we'll keep 2) and I'll also create some overview of different set up on the keyboard to figure out what's best.
I can't do it tonight, I'll keep you posted tommorrow.
would be cool if it matched my CC's:The one all the way to the right is perfect! But I doubt SP will be able to match that... if they do I will be pleasantly surprised.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ATJyO.jpg)

Does anyone see the irony here...Everyone here has a terrible addiction, once you start you can't stop...It will chew through your bank account and tear apart your family....meth? no...keycaps that look like meth...yes.This is priceless... and I believe it is totally sig worthy!
If I could just get the Crystal Keys i'd be interested in a few sets, (number of sets depending on price) but definitely at least 1 set of crystals.Done. You're on the list for crystals only.

I didn't planed it alone Computer-Lab, this idea has been brought by tjcaustin and Xerobasix and backed up by i3oilermaker and myself.
The signature is an important part imo, without this community these project wouldn't be possible for the majority of us.
I understand your concern about the cost and your words will surely count in the final decision.
Let's just see how it could possibly look like and we'll decide then.
As for the Ha element, it's Hahnium if my sources are correct http://www.ccnr.org/periodic_table.html
I don't know the whole history but it is a fairly recent element if I understood correctly

Would it be possible to separate the geekhack keys into another thread and do an interest check on that alone, after batmann has made new mock ups and all of that?^This. I really couldn't put it into words, but that's exactly what I was thinking. The Ge/Ha key might be better suited for another GB, not this one. It's interfering with the whole Breaking Bad theme just a little bit...
I would be interested in it but it seems to be something that would be better off as its own thing, instead of getting mixed up in the Breaking Bad set, which most people seem to be interested in and appears to be ready to move on to the next stage of the GB.

Lol forget what I said... after looking back on it I think it's a pretty damn good idea. I like the whole molecule polygon idea behind it too.
No, nor was there any sarcasm behind it either... I truly had to look back at your design, and upon doing so I changed my mind.

SP has not yet molded the Blue Clear cap, but I have some pictures of samples in other colors. This should give us an idea of what it will look like:Thanks for those pics i3, those are not too bad... but with those examples, I'm assuming we can expect it to be more of a dark blue? And it most likely won't have as much of a cloudy/icy effect?

Well, we'll have to wait and see I guess...
The reason why I'd mentioned doing something geekhack related to was to tie into someone wanting to do the full periodic table. I had thought a Ge and H or Ha done in the same style would give it a bit of geekhack flair without it adding too much more effort. Batmann had decided to make it a molecule (which isn't a problem, just not what I'd meant).I already talked to Batmann about this, and am fully willing to accommodate the Ge/Ha key into this GB.
What I had meant was essentially doing the same cap as for Br and Ba but with the other two elements instead. That wouldn't add too much to the overall fussiness of the group buy and as I mentioned, add a bit of geekhack specifics to the fun.
Additionally, while I agree this is a tremendously ruinous habit to have acquired (I just bought my 4th keyboard with that ducky GB), I find the irony of using a forum where we all have to type out our thoughts and feelings about it to be amusing. Nevermind the fact that it's even more of an excuse to type and hear myself pretend to be productive as my keyboard clacks away.

Are these going to be in different profiles?

Glissant, I think this might help answer your question.
This is going to work more like a sale than a GB. I am going to front the cost (and the risk) and all keys will be available on techkeys.us at group buy prices for a limited time.
So to answer your question, you will get to see the final product before deciding if you want to buy.
Please Read
I am going to place the order with SP tomorrow and allow for plenty of leftovers. The keys being made are going to be the Br and Ba as well as top row and bottom row (arrow keys) translucent blue keys. The Ge and H key have been tabled for now.
There will be no formal group buy, the keys will be listed on techkeys.us when they arrive at the typical GB price (TBD). After one week the price will go up to help hedge the risk of me buying lots of extras. If you don't want to miss this window of buying at cost, sign up for product notifications at http://www.techkeys.us/contact-us.php (http://www.techkeys.us/contact-us.php) This process will eliminate the need to manage a thread, respond to 100's of PMs, send 100's of invoices, break legs to pay, and have you out the cash for 3-4 weeks. Instead when the keys arrive, you buy and they ship next day.
And I feel like we should make 4 crystal keys instead of three, that way the entire key set can replace the Insert, Delete, Home, End, and Page Up/Down keys.

Just so it's clear, the Crystal keys won't be F'n row profile, instead they will be intended for use on the Arrow cluster?From my understanding both
Cheers,
Arrow cluster are all bottom row caps. The bottom two rows use the same form factor.
I'll finally have enough keys to buy off from boilermaker's site! Shipping is a little expensive for international though :(

You are kidding right?
I live at the most distant, far out location in the Western World, and his shipping rate is extremely decent to say the least.
You should buy more Keys off him to make the shipping rate tolerable.
It sounds like there is some R2 and R3 interest. I will order some, but they will cost a little more since they will be ordered in a lower quantity.
Price of the actual bubble mailer, tape, bags and handling is all included in the shipping charges for the most part.
And actually I don't have time right now to read the thread, but I'll take 4 crystals if they're bottom row, 8 if they're top function/number row, and if you're offering both profiles ill take 12 total with the ratio above.

I haven't solidified that for sure yet, but there will be several buying options.
Full F-row will be available
Crystals will be available in all 4 rows but qwer and asdf rows will be ordered in lower quantity.
Crystals will be available in all 4 rows but qwer and asdf rows will be ordered in lower quantity.
So they look exactly like they do in the photo, right? Also, can we get mods and spacebars in that as well? I think I might just want a whole set looking like that :P
Br and Ba keys will be only in top row.Yeah, VV looks good.
Crystals will be available in all 4 rows but qwer and asdf rows will be ordered in lower quantity.
Is it safe to assume VV is the right color?

I was hoping for a layout more like this, to replace Ins, Del, Home, End and Page Up/Down.

I don't know. Maybe we should go with VAG
Whoever uses those keys anyway! :p Just put them all there anyway, damn the proper profiles!!
gb is start? where i can order?? techkey? :-]
I kinda feel like since this was rushed it is going to hurt the people that wanted WASD sets, or 26-37 sets. We could have done probably 500-1000 of all the rows for really cheap pricing if we just added one or two weeks of pre-ordering.

1) There should be plenty of keys for those who want them
2) The pricing on these keys (Translucent Blue) were different, the price drop off was not nearly as dramatic in larger quantities
3) I fully expect to do a Round 2 for a full set with Green/White and Crystal - If someone wants to spear head that with a IC/Design thread I would welcome it.
If someone gives me a good base file to work with I can probably whip something up. Last time I asked no one wanted to share *shrug*

I'm planning to post template SVG files to the wiki soon for individual keys and the standard full sets and add-ons (tsangan, tenkey, and ISO).
And fwiw I agree that this should have been given more time to pan out and discover demand. *shrug*
I would pay actual money for a full crystal n' green (or some variation hereof, Crystal n' Red?) set.But they're only taking monopoly money
Actual money.
But they're only taking monopoly money
Or you could just make real meth like I do...
Wait, did I say that out loud? :-X

Looks like I've got my next Techkeys ordered finalized. Just waiting on these :D
Yup. Just let me know of any gb you're interested lol
Round 2 will need to be a traditional GB due to the higher costs of complete sets, but I want to clarify that I am offering GB prices for 1 week after the keys arrive.
Most of it. Hazard, OCKC, this, valentines, sanctuary lol
I'll take two sets and a total of 6 blue keys.
Maybe change the thread title from "Group Buy" to, er, "techkeys.us upcoming new keys"?
Will do.Maybe change the thread title from "Group Buy" to, er, "techkeys.us upcoming new keys"?
Agree - ClIB, can you update?
so, are these going to be different rows?
say BR = qwerty row
BA = asdf row
crystals = w/e row?
:( Same row is boring IMO. And f row/number row are too far apart.
Yeah *****es!!!!^This. Well said. :))
Everybody lies...
Everybody lies...
My current post is a lie.
My current post is a lie.
Is that on by default? I might have turned it off, but I don't remember doing so...
I'm excited! Have they arrived!?
SoonTM
Order in here? Or we can get them off techkeys?
What profile will these be in? Have we discussed this before...? :confused:Crystals are available in all rows, Br/Ba caps are top row profile.
SP profile which is similar to cherry but not exact.I meant Cherry or OEM or etc.?What profile will these be in? Have we discussed this before...? :confused:Crystals are available in all rows, Br/Ba caps are top row profile.
Order placed. Did we ever find out if translucent keys like this can be double shot either as the text or with solid text inside it?
Also we need a gratuitous picture of a huge pile of these keys, maybe even in zip lock baggies.
Just got emailed to their availability.
I just went and ordered everything. But I need some clarification when I select R1, R2, R3, and R4 will it mean I will get 4 Crystals for each selection or only one?
Yes you are dealing with someone who has just finished Night Shift and am more than slightly retarded, if that's possible for me.......
I placed orders for all of them just in case of missing out on anything. Good one i3oiler......love your gear.
^ lol daaaaaaaaaaaamn. That doesn't look like a lot though, I better order soon with the popularity of these..
Wow that still looks small in the pic...trust me there are plenty
This might be true...Wow that still looks small in the pic...trust me there are plenty
Not around here it's not!!
the price right now is group buy price?.......
Yes - are $1 keys out too pricey?
Yes - are $1 keys out too pricey?
Yes - are $1 keys out too pricey?Is that the group buy price? The quote I got from SP today was 500 1x keys $.51 a piece, 750 $.45 a piece, and 1000 $.41 a piece. Granted that was for double shots, solo color keys *shrug*
Yes - are $1 keys out too pricey?I think the price is fine. Seems fair to me...
I understand the price seems fair, but the reason we ran it through techkeys was because it was agreed we would have group buy prices for a week, and then the price could go up so techkeys could make some profit.Yes - are $1 keys out too pricey?I think the price is fine. Seems fair to me...

They are not invoice prices. There is a small markup.
I will be making a profit on these keys but not much. I have costs to maintain my site and business.
I'm sorry if anyone feels my prices are unreasonable or that I deceived anyone.
Will there by prototypes of all keys available for viewing before ordering? That's kind of what I've been waiting for...
This is going to work more like a sale than a GB. I am going to front the cost (and the risk) and all keys will be available on techkeys.us at group buy prices for a limited time.
So to answer your question, you will get to see the final product before deciding if you want to buy.
Please Read
I am going to place the order with SP tomorrow and allow for plenty of leftovers. The keys being made are going to be the Br and Ba as well as top row and bottom row (arrow keys) translucent blue keys. The Ge and H key have been tabled for now.
There will be no formal group buy, the keys will be listed on techkeys.us when they arrive at the typical GB price (TBD). After one week the price will go up to help hedge the risk of me buying lots of extras. If you don't want to miss this window of buying at cost, sign up for product notifications at http://www.techkeys.us/contact-us.php (http://www.techkeys.us/contact-us.php) This process will eliminate the need to manage a thread, respond to 100's of PMs, send 100's of invoices, break legs to pay, and have you out the cash for 3-4 weeks. Instead when the keys arrive, you buy and they ship next day.
I'll fix this - put the pitchforks away.
I'm sorry I did not intend to gauge or deceive anyone. Give me a little time.
They are not invoice prices. There is a small markup.The markup wasn't mentioned from the very beginning. A markup is not "group buy price", which was all that was listed. You basically took this idea from Batmann and he did all the work in the IC, and ran it at your own store. If you feel like you needed the markup to run and maintain your business, then come up with other cap ideas for that. But this GB could hae been ran like a real group buy, without your site.
I will be making a profit on these keys but not much. I have costs to maintain my site and business.
I'm sorry if anyone feels my prices are unreasonable or that I deceived anyone.
This is what I will to.
The thread collected 91 sets of Br Ba Keys. I will lower the GB price to the SP cost @ 150 which is $1.11 + legend fee of .30 x 2 for the set = $2.62
The crystals I will lower the cost to SP cost @ 500 for R1 (.52), 100 for R2 and R3 (.93), and 250 for R3 (.62)
Before you as, if you already ordered, expect a refund, but give me a little time since I have to re-calc all the orders.
This is my screw up - I will make it right. There is no excuse other than I was trying to make a little extra to hedge my bets. I re-invest ALL my profits from techkeys into more keys. That is fact. Eventually I would like to make some money, but for now I am just trying to keep the good stuff coming.
I just hope I'm not sitting on a mountain of meth keys when this is over :)
This is what I will to.

Instead of refunding me, could you give me more keys (within what I've paid ofc) :D
Depending on how the prices pan out I'll be ordering more keys as well.i3oiler posted that a few posts above!
This is what I will to.You never let the GB to be fully flourish, we ALL know a interest check vs a actual order in the orders will be more, what's to say I don't order another 159 sets?

This is what I will to.It doesn't matter what tier you are lowering the prices to. All that matters is what did you actually order. Sell at the price of what you ordered and you'll sell a ton. Maybe you will sell out even. There will be people that miss the week window, more people that want to buy after seeing all the pretty pictures that will pop up on the forums, and a slow trickle of sales as new people join the community.

There should have been no hedging of bets, we should have just taken orders and you could have used your invoicing and infrastructure to run the group buy as I'm sure you have done for all your recent group buys where you have extras on your web site. In the future group buys should be group buys and separate from being sold on a web site. I'm not sure how I feel about using group buys to fuel more key purchases to further still fuel more new purchases until you can just turn a profit. I know the intent is good to provide more for the people, but the community should have been included in your plan if you wanted do it this way. Normally people take out a business loan to get a business running *shrug*
So I'll ask again. How many of every key did you actually order? We can't calculate group buy price without that. From looking at what you purchased you will sell out. Although you didn't show a picture of the Br Ba keys.

I did not ask for a loan from you. I am sorry you feel abused. I have learned my lesson from this GB, and will return to the traditional method.
I am going way out of my way and eating cost to refund and provide an extremely fair price. Please put your pitchfork down.

Eating refunds on the money you should not have made to begin with
Once again you did not let this GB to happen the 91 orders is wayyyyyyyyyyy under what it would have been if it was actually done in GB fashion, it could have gone WAY beyond the 150 tier mark. Please adjust it to the tier you purchased it at

lol Ginny making an alternative account because he's too much of a **** to say what he feels on his real accounthaha ya I knew he was setting himself up for the banhammer on that one. I wonder if he realizes that IPs are logged...
I'm glad that you're trying to make good on this but I'm personally put off by the whole situation and even more so as you continue to avoid telling us how many of each key you actually purchased or show us the invoice etc.
If it's a dollar more or a dollar less, whatever. I guess I'm really just one of those "it's the principle" kind of guys. Your original response to "this is the group buy price??" of "yes, $1 is too expensive?" clearly indicates (to me, in my opinion) that you basically figured you would offer the keys at what you thought was a reasonable price while also turning a profit. That is entirely different than everything you've told the public up to this point. You've said multiple times that we would receive the same group buy prices we would have otherwise gotten and we would be buying them at cost etc etc.
I haven't been around here nearly as long as a lot of people have but to me personally, that's just terrible business and speaks a lot for character. I understand that you've run a lot of successful, legitimate group buys in the past, but this wasn't one of them. I don't think you're nearly as naive as you're pretending to be right now; this wasn't a case of making things easier for the community and then making a mistake, it was a case of using these keys to promote your website (all of the notification signups sure are nice) and essentially getting some free money by marking them up. I agree with this:You basically took this idea from Batmann and he did all the work in the IC, and ran it at your own store. If you feel like you needed the markup to run and maintain your business, then come up with other cap ideas for that. But this GB could hae been ran like a real group buy, without your site.

This garnered a lot of attention it would have gone beyond the 150 tier this is speculation yes, but speculation from someone that has ran multiple group buysOnce again you did not let this GB to happen the 91 orders is wayyyyyyyyyyy under what it would have been if it was actually done in GB fashion, it could have gone WAY beyond the 150 tier mark.

This is pure speculation. I'm not convinced that a traditional GB would have brought in more orders. Even if we agreed that it probably would have, there is no way to know for sure.
God what a mess. Glad I didn't order right away.
So if you don't like it dont buy it, but it is a damn good price.

I should have been more upfront with costs. My intentions were to provide a good discount without the time and effort of a GB.

We weren't even in ordering yet it was merely a IC and IC gets a lot less order as people know it will happen and when it does happen is when people order, did I speak once during IC as to how many sets I was going to get? How can you say I wasn't going to order 150+ sets? People ordered ridiculous amount of novelty keys nd you can say this is even more popular

Hey !3oiler, do you have a backlit keyboard? When you have a minute after sorting out orders, I would love to see what they look like over LEDs
Wow. If you call someone a liar, you'd better have proof. Libel.
And did he take over this order by force or did CLiB ask for techkeys to handle it for him? I haven't parsed the entire thread but if its the later then there is no reason to be upset at anything other than the fact that the prices should have been posted or discussed a long time ago.
I'd still like to know how much of each key was ordered. Either say you are still turning some profit for your costs and time (which is fine and ok to be honest) Or just tell us how much you ordered.
why is it always the noobs who have no problem with paying more?

Right so someone pays more is classed now by you as a sub-human?
Christ, what about calming the F**K down.......instead of doing the now FAMOUS lynching here on Geekhack, how about just accepting his apology and moving on.
But oh no, let's now run an inquiry/jury/conviction and string him out to die, for everyone to see and enjoy........I can understand why hardly anyone wants to run any Group Buy on here.
People all make mistake's and it's not some kind of Dr. Moriarty-style of manipulation or deceit. Besides not everyone here on this Forum can walk away being clean and non blemished when it came to running previous GROUP BUYS that were held on here.

Well I guess I'll say what's on everybody's minds....
BOOBS

I own 64 so whats the deal then? Plus have another three more coming in off Ebay. If you can't afford the caps, then go away.......that simple.

You know what's the best part about this?I could be wrong here but I think rag's group buy prices are reasonable, it was his left overs that prices were jacked, and how he handled selling the SP screw up keys as well was less than spectacular.
You guys are giving boiler **** over this but kiss rag's ass when he does shadier ****.
I'm just flabbergasted. I want to rage, I want to be emotional but in reality I feel like I'm reading a teenage girl's facebook feed.
Seriously.
It's simple. You have people like Elrick with too much money willing to bend over and get ****ed over pieces of ****ing plastic.

Here's a novel idea. If you don't like the price, don't buy the caps.
If you're one of those people who has to have literally ever keycap ever concieved, then swallow your pride, stop moaning about the price (which has been reduced) complete the transaction and part ways.
So much drama over plastic squares.
How many keys in each bag?Why do you guys keep pressing for exactly how many he ordered? That's irrelevant at this point. What's known is that he ordered more than 150 sets at less than $2.62 each, since that is what was offered as a "fix". It's based on the principle of hiding things, not how much he still profits from each one.

I'm not screwing anyone over - with the paypal fees I am not making any money.
shipping was under $4.Damn you people who get heaps cheap shipping :P Costs $8 to post them to me. Am going to order some soon when I finally decide how many I want.

That's the only reason holding me back from ordering, to be honest. I feel like it's weird ordering $10.** of keys and paying $8 to get them posted.
Thanks for the offer, but I'll be ok with ordering it. :cool:That's the only reason holding me back from ordering, to be honest. I feel like it's weird ordering $10.** of keys and paying $8 to get them posted.

If you'd like I can place an order for you and drop off your order at the Post Office the next time I go(which is usually every other day).
You'll still end up saving $1.25. Let me know if this helps.
don't be a **** nokcha.
if you have a problem with boiler's shipping prices, PM him. this has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
you aren't exactly a saint yourself.

This is coming from an ex moderator who's banned from multiple forums. Rock on.
Oh this is juicy.
Just like how click clacks are sold for over 300% of their original price.

And great people like you didn't bother stopping me from ordering when I ordered 100 keycaps. Just decided to complain and flame me AFTER I received them. Hell I even fixed this issue multiple times but you still seem to love hugging the past dontcha.
$20 for over $50 worth.shipping was under $4.Damn you people who get heaps cheap shipping :P Costs $8 to post them to me. Am going to order some soon when I finally decide how many I want.
Crap, will be ordering more than 50$. I wonder how much it'll cost to ship to Melbourne :(
demik, you tell him to take it to PM, but then you guys both start going at it publicly, sidetracking in i3oilermaker's thread :))
With so much drama on geek hack I see, it's kind of hard being a M double O S E...
MOOSEN!

Going to post more in the "what did you get in the mail today" thread.
Was hoping to get some a week back at $2.62 and now it's $6. =/ Did not follow the whole thread closely but is this because it's almost all sold out? Will the prices drop again?
Thanks in advance.
The $2.62 price was GB price. i3oiler said he would leave them like that for a week, then raise them to store price.Oh alright, thanks for clearing it up.
They are on order and would expect to see them in about 2 weeks. I will accept preorders through tomorrow afternoon at group buy prices but then prices will increase. If interested PM me an orderI interpret this as there'll be a 2nd group buy but it won't be as low priced as the first?
Yeah, I had it planned that way since I saw they were coming. Everyone else seemed to have thought the same!

Which part of Australia are you in? I still haven't got my meths yet. :'(
I am in Melbourne.
MissMurd3r84 was right - typically about 8 or 9 working days from US to AU (today is actually the 7th working day for me).
mine came today, realised i ordered WAYYYY to many since it looks like i've actually got bags of meth...
Crystals are back in stock!
