makes me wonder too...Hyde is pointing out to me that it even has a dark circle where you lift up the marker.
Maybe it's really hand made?

Exactly how much did it cost to make? You should really work that out and then sell it for half the cost to benefit the community. Oh and say exactly how many you have made and who got what so that people can be mad at the people that did get them.

Guys, listen.  I didn't make these myself, so I don't know how hard it is to make these.  All I was told was this hand made and there are only a couple of these in existence.  More could be made if there is enough demand.

Post by: tjcaustin on Sat, 03 November 2012, 17:53:27

Alright, I think this has gone on long enough.

I was the one that sent the cap to litster. 

I made these using only the finest materials known to fish, and man, kind.  Plastic from the rarest of trees, marker fluid from a giant squid (only one so the chemical makeup is perfectly consistant) and I crafted the device I used to make this art using techniques known to tattoo gun makers. 

Saying all of that, if there's enough interest in this cap, I supposed I could let a limited few have them for a nominal fee.  Let's call that fee $200, which I say is quite the deal for what I'm offering exclusively to geekhack members that own cherry ML switches. I may be convinced to do this for topre, too, but that's it.
