I've been camping Brian's site all day.  It's time I do something productive that involves walking away from the computer....like going to the fridge to grab a redbull and coming back to camp some more.

It's a complete joke, a shop has stock of something and they sell it, they don't put a coming soon banner on stock and leave it for a few days. a few hours to generate a bit of hype, maybe. The guy (edit: Brian or whatever his name is, not talking about cc) is taking the piss.
People moan about the expensive resale value of these things, well at least that's a reasonable transaction. I would rather let someone else waste 2 days and give them a hundred bucks for their trouble than give these clowns at elite keyboards 30 bucks. There's a ton of other stuff I want, a hhkb for example, but I'll be taking me business elsewhere. And hopefully manage to pick up the odd clack when CC sells them here, he respects his customers and does the right thing.

I can get what I want cos I can afford to buy it in the resale market. People with more time than money can get it. It's the crap business practice I am moaning about, EK are dangling a carrot and laughing their arses off at our expense, does anyone else feel that way, or is it just me?

I have another day off today and I'm off for a slap up yum cha and a movie, about what I would spend on three of these caps, and I'll enjoy it a helluva lot more than yesterday pressing f5 50,000 times to try and get another bit of plastic to stick on my keyboard!

Better than a clack sale where a 3 second difference in when you submit your email means getting a CC or not.

CC sales last about 3 seconds

EK sales are like 5 minutes


At least he's sending an email when they go on sale, he could just put them up randomly and let the F5ers get them first

Title: Re: EliteKeyboards IS READYING A CLACK SALE

The only 'fair' system is a lottery, leave the application open for a week and then draw the winners.

Post by: mehkat1974 on Wed, 07 November 2012, 14:08:57
the fair thing to do is advertise the product and then sell it, there's no need for a lottery or pre-orders. Some ppl get some and some don't, that's no big deal. It's in high demand so it sells out quickly, I got no problem with that, and if I miss out because I'm not around I got no problem with that either. I have a problem with advertising a product as in stock but refusing to sell it. If they are not ready to sell then why advertise?

Why? He can sell it when he decides it's time. If it said "out of stock" right now, then no one would care?


Technically he's in the advertising phase anyways, see this entire thread, it's one big ad

I don't agree with that, I think it's balls when after the sale EK leave the caps up on the site with "no stock" for ages, that's equally crap
anyhoo, I guess he can run his business however he likes, but like I said I got better things to do than mash f5 all day

also, the timing of it isn't relevant to anything, they will sell out in a heartbeat whenever they go on sale, it's not as if they are poised to maximise exposure or whatever. It doesn't need advertising. Like you say, we do it all for them.
Title: Re: EliteKeyboards IS READYING A CLACK SALE
Post by: The_Beast on Wed, 07 November 2012, 14:24:26
Newegg does this all the time. When they sell out, they put "no stock" because they know they'll be getting more soon. Why take down the page if they're going to be putting it right back up once they get more. The only difference is the EK is that he doesn't know when CC is going to make them of not so EK must just leave them as "no stock"


That or is lazy in updating pages.

Progress might be behind the scenes - EK did say they were testing a new system for a fairer sale, which would be nice if it didn't sell out in the first 5 minutes or something ;)

I'd rather wait a couple of days for a fair system, than have everyone rushing in where angels fear to tread.

I just don't see how you can have a "fairer system", maybe smaller batches released every few hours to cover common timezones. Other option is a lottery, but that potentially blocks the people who actually want one of the caps.

It messed up when we hit daylight savings I think. Just hit auto-detect or type in 17 as the offset and it should be right.

I'm still hanging out for a special code in the email from EK that can be used to redeem a keycap, or something like that.

But that would require either not many on the mailing list, or a large number of CC keycaps.

Newegg does this all the time. When they sell out, they put "no stock" because they know they'll be getting more soon. Why take down the page if they're going to be putting it right back up once they get more. The only difference is the EK is that he doesn't know when CC is going to make them of not so EK must just leave them as "no stock"


That doesn't apply to this situation here though. The candy corn ones were taken down ages ago, and have now been put back up. Obviously the Oktoberfest keycap is new. I'm sure when Newegg does it, it's for an item, which is not going to sell out within minutes and is something that they will regularly get stock for.

the fair thing to do is advertise the product and then sell it, there's no need for a lottery or pre-orders. Some ppl get some and some don't, that's no big deal. It's in high demand so it sells out quickly, I got no problem with that, and if I miss out because I'm not around I got no problem with that either. I have a problem with advertising a product as in stock but refusing to sell it. If they are not ready to sell then why advertise?
Agreed.

Use common sense ppl, their location hours are 9am-5pm M-F. They're probably not going to go on sale this weekend, so don't hold your breath. If anything, they'll go on sale towards the latter part of next week or a Black Friday-Thanksgiving sale to boost the probability of you spending additional $$ on their site.

A couple possible scenarios to maximize efficiency and site profit:

1)They'll prob go on sale during their normal operating hours.

2)They may do an evening sale during a normal business day so that they may be shipped the next business day.

3)IF they do sell them this weekend, it would make sense that it would be Sunday so that if the logistics of the order process does get messed up, they can fix it the next business day.

4)Keep in mind that a new "EK system" is supposed to be implemented to make the order process more "fair", thus can be error prone and quite predicative that they would want to be staffed during the order process.

5) From an advertising POV, one could speculate the rate of sale vs the hit amount(difference before the posting of CCs) to theoretical demand from actual demand. $$/hit.... Although this stat would help CC more in finding the sweet spot of demand/cost, and the careful balance of not to deflate the value of your own goods by flooding the market.

6) From an advertising POV, a greater time allotted allows a greater sample size... helping them to calculate advertising potential and relevant stats figures(think normalizing a distribution amount). Also boosting/attracting more advert revenue or spending during such times for the next release.

7)It only helps them to wait, wait and wait.

All ten of them!

Seriously, you don't spend on other products at these clack sales - in the time it takes you to add one more item to your cart the clacks you have in there have been taken by someone else. ppl load up on their 3 caps and get out as quickly as possible. I've had a hhkb in my cart twice at these sales (because the shipping costs to me are astronomical so I wanted to do it all at once) and not ended up buying anything... but the CC's although still listed as in stock, were long gone.

@ BlindRAGE666 your comments are interesting but I think you're overestimating a dude with a few keyboards to sell.

Not sure what the fuss is all about.

What is the difference between:

1. A product page that says, "Product X available soon, but not in stock."

or

2. A product page that says, "Product X in stock, but not available for purchase."

There is effectively, and practically no difference between either. In both situations you are looking at a page that presents a product that will be available soon, but isn't available for purchase yet. You are not getting deceived. A merchant has the right to list a product that's in stock without having to sell it.


Edit: I'm tempted to make a reference to the "America, F*ck Yea!" thread in the Off-Topic section.

But.... what's the problem with that? The merchant isn't doing anything illegal or morally reprehensible. This tells me this is just people whining that they can't get their click-clacks.

Edit: No, seriously... there is nothing wrong, with a retailer saying, "Product X available soon..." This is nothing illegal or immoral.

Not sure anyone has said EK is doing anything wrong - they are just keeping us in suspension for longer than some people would like.

Also considering that there is not usually much notice for CC sales, and when they do happen it is all usually over in a few seconds.  Hence what MissMurd3r84 was saying that "soon" is rather vague, and some people are worried that they might miss out when the CCs are actually available for order from EK.

Why it is listed as "in stock" but available "soon" was explained early on as EK testing a new fairer sale system - perhaps that is taking a bit longer than expected.  I would rather the sale was delayed for a while but fair, than have them rush it through now in the usual 3-seconds-blink-and-you'd-miss-it fashion.

I mean... that's the whole point. You don't have a specific date, and keep it completely random, so that everyone has an equal opportunity probability-wise, as everybody else. Yes, I'm sure some people will have less of a chance as other people because of timezones, work, and whatnot, but that all falls under the rules of probability. Some people will just be **** out of luck. I don't know how else to put it, quite frankly.

I mean, I understand the role of a retailer is to fill consumer's demands, but it's not their obligation to make sure EVERYONE gets their demands met. If an item is a limited edition, it is, as the name says, limited. Not much you can do about that.

Why does this fall on the fault of EK? I have no freakin' clue.

No... this is intellectually dishonest. This is one of those, "No offense, but I'm going to say something offensive anyway," comments. You say you have no problem with EK, yet, you're complaining about EK's methodology.

Anyway EK said it's not who refreshes the page first when they are ready, that everyone would have a fair chance, and just being on their newsletter mailing list should be enough.

I am not complaining about EK's methodology.

I am wondering what they will do to make a fair sale (having seen the last one sell out in 3 seconds, based on who could send an email first).  Just curiosity.

Being a web developer I can understand difficulties developing this sort of online application.

I am happily biding my time, subscribed to their newsletter, and waiting.

Oh. So it's not a problem for you, then. Well... I was referring to other people who tried to trash EK's name because of this - I can name a few in this thread already. For absolutely no good reason at all other than them just whining that they won't get their clacks.

Edit: And yes, timezones indeed. Not much you can do about it. Sorry! :cool:

"I am not complaining about EK's methodology, but I'm going to complain about EK's methodology anyway."

It was not a complaint.  Just an observation.  I am more curious what they are preparing to make this fair - perhaps it will set a precedent for future sales :)

If I happen to be lucky enough to get a CC this time around - great.  If not, I will wait for the next sale.  From EK, from Click Clack himself, or from anywhere else.

And anyway I can't complain about what they have done as they haven't done it yet.  And I am certainly not complaining about any delays - as noted above I would prefer the sale to be delayed even longer to give everyone a fair chance.

I think what is frustrating most people is that the site says the items are in stock, and the button to buy them is coming "Soon..." for over a week now... that and a nice big underlined "pre-sales questions will be ignored if sent to support!"
It really feels like ek is dangling a great big carrot and saying fಠ_ಠck you at the same time.

From a business sense would would have made more sense to just completely hold off on any announcements until the sale was actually ready to roll, or if technical difficulties were experienced to take away the "Soon..." until it was actually going to be soon. Then again soon is an indeterminable amount of time just like saying "in a moment" although both somewhat insinuate a shorter, rather than a longer time table.

Right now EK is being Mr. Burns, or Santa after not delivering presents and just sitting on them till when ever he feels like.

waaa I'm crying so what  :'(

I guess though when a company has something of limited quantity that they know will sell out they can be jerks to their customers, but it sure as hell doesn't make me want to buy anything else they are going to sell...

So, in other words... your problem is that EK isn't releasing the clacks sooner rather than later...

That just seems like someone complaining because they're not getting what they want, to me.

No. If you're referring to me, I absolutely have a reason to angry about this. I think EK is a very reputable dealer, I've spoken to Brian over the phone a couple of times, and I think he's a great guy. I don't think he deserves all this flack, just because people can't wait an extra few days, or maybe even a few weeks for some specialty item.

People are up in arms, calling EK "Mr. Burns", and threatening boycott just because they can't get their clacks soon enough. I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous.

Why do you feel like you have to be his champion?  Not only is your reason flimsy at best, you were completely misconstruing something someone else was saying just to keep arguing(I'll quote if I need to).  Or do you get angry at everyone that doesn't like the practices of things you think are very reputable?  This is not a comment either way as I actually think this whole conversation is superficially motivated, but seriously you have no ivory tower or white horse to feel the need to look down from upon.

But, in all honesty, some of the things that were said here were kind of ridiculous. Seriously. There are people threatening to boycott EK, just because they're not getting their clacks soon enough. That is a little crazy, IMO. But, I'll let it rest. You're right. I'm just gonna let it go.

you're getting a bit excited there chief, I don't think anyone is calling for a boycott. A couple of ppl have said they will spend their money elsewhere. A boycott is political, most of us just have a short attention span and limited income. Personally I spent my disposable bit of income for that week on yum cha and enjoyed it very much. It hasn't stopped me checking the site, just not as regularly. And it does look to me like dangling a carrot to increase interest in the site and the other few items he sells. This idea of making it fair is pointless, fair by what standards? Everyone gets one? There aren't enough. The product doesn't need advertising, we do it for him, and it will sell out immediately regardless of any other factors, timezone/price whatever

edit: you said much the same in your post above and I agree, he has no obligation to anyone, except IMO to just bloody get on with it.

people moan about the high price of these in the resale market well for me now that is more about convenience than anything else, it's a lot easier than buying it from a shop.

If you are referring to me I have every right to boycott a company if I don't agree with their business practices, just the same that if a company wants to risk losing customers with fuzzy release dates and insinuating that someone with a pre-sale question isn't a customer, they can do so.

I kinda like EK sometimes. I was even offered some kind of job on reddit via PM after giving some constructive criticism. Companies don't just magically get better, it takes place from people saying what they do and don't like. If a lot of people voice their opinion they may change their method to keep customers happy.

If apple kept the iPhone 6 in a "coming soon" state for ages without a definitive release date people might elect to buy an Android phone. After waiting over a week for uncertainty and "Soon..." I decided to buy a Coolermaster keyboard and a bunch of keys from feng instead of a leopold and three clacks. Sure if I have some money left in the budget I may try and pick up the Oktoberfest CC, but I'm no longer interested in a 3 cap purchase like I was previously because I don't like being told I'm not a customer, AND I don't approve of the current method of announcement and tease.
Title: Re: EliteKeyboards IS READYING A CLACK SALE
Post by: singaporean123 on Mon, 12 November 2012, 00:56:32
I guess from EK's POV they're giving everyone ample time to get ready, get their money together, get some decisions made and buy more than just the clacks from their site.

They may be able to sell something like 5 or 10 keyboards given that people have a week to think about what ELSE they want other than the CC.

If they were going to release the CC the moment they were ready for sale, most people would be OMGZ CC ADD TO CART CHECK OUT BUY PAY WAIT FOR MAIL.

Maybe this week long grace may give some people time to think about that HHKB/leopold/realforce that they've always wanted.

Then again.. if something's going to be in stock but not ready for sale for more than a week it will be nice if we get a rough gauge on when they'll be ready for order.

tl;dr : If you want CC at affordable prices you've got to wait:)

Wait a sec... so you prefer, that EK doesn't have a fair system, so you have a better chance at getting your hands on one. And if not, then you're going to do your business elsewhere. In other words, if EK doesn't do what you want, you're going to stop business with them.

I'm sorry, but that just reeks of entitlement to me. This is a personal shop. The boss can do whatever he wants. He's selling these clacks as a business - he's not doing this as a personal favor to anyone. I mean... if you feel like you want to do business elsewhere, just because you don't get what you want, then... by all means.

edit @ singaporean

I bet real money that doesn't happen I have tried to do that myself but their archaic shopping cart system (maybe this is what they have been upgrading/testing) means that you miss out on stuff as you're adding items.

OMGZ CC ADD TO CART CHECK OUT BUY PAY WAIT FOR MAIL

that's exactly how a clack sale goes, I don't think they can change it, unless they give priority to ppl buying other stuff, like buy a HHKB, guaranteed a couple of caps, but somehow I don't think a lot of ppl would see that as fair

fuzzbunny I'm saying it's already fair. I don't have a sense of entitlement, I have missed out at every one of these sales because it happened at a time when I wasn't around, I didn't go around moaning about how I should have got one, I shrugged my shoulders and went back to reddit.

There are reasons why companies don't sell and advertise like this and elect to give solid release dates only when they can honor them. EK is getting back negativity because of what they put out there. If they had given an exact date, or simply announced when people could buy with an email notification then none of these threads would have started, and people wouldn't have gotten upset. They are the cause, and our responses are the effect ie: causality

I don't see any entitlement in anything I've said wishing they would have thought out their announcement and sale methods and phraseology on their web page.

If I miss out I will not care. I don't understand how the sales aren't fair in the first place, I would love it if someone could explain why the system of selling something until there's none left isn't fair, who is feeling left out?

Clack sales remind me of this Simpsons scene:

Homer can't resist the big game, so he camps out in front of the ticket
booth.  And his strategy pays off -- he's second in the huge line.

Homer: Heh heh heh, I did it!  Second in line, and all I had to do was
       miss eight days of work.
  Man: With the money you would have made working, you could have bought
       tickets from a scalper.
Homer: In theory, yes.  Jerk.

The wicket opens for selling tickets.  The first man in line steps up.

  Man: Give me, er, 30,000 tickets.
Woman: That'll be $950,000 please.
  Man: Look, the thing about that is, I only got $10 on me.  Can I pay
       you the rest later?
Woman: Sure.

The man walks off with a big stack of tickets, and the woman puts a
"Sold Out" sign in the window.  Homer sighs and slumps against the
wicket.

so did you just get four keys, I don't get it LOL

So it's one entry per key per person and the drawing has already started even though the entries don't close for another 2 days, is that right?

edit: nvm I misread, you got confirmation of draw entry

Good luck y'all :)

It states "This drawing is for one of several CF-5T-OKT." etc... so I presume it's one entry per key.

I did all four Topres, leaving the MXs for some other lucky person, I guess you could enter for a total of 8 Clacks is so desired.

I'm somewhat confused (it's late here in the UK!) It seems that on re-reading of the rules that only one entry per cap is valid:

Quote
1. One drawing entry per person. Efforts to "game" the system will likely be noticed and disqualified (as will any other entries to other drawings that we can reasonably tie to that person for the foreseeable future.).

I'm Curious to hear how other people interpret this. Could be clearer, might have disqualified myself already, ha!

Post by: noxwood on Mon, 12 November 2012, 19:41:09

This is fair, this is good.  Everyone has the same chance.  It is not biased due to timezone or proximity to an email server.  It is not who can press F5 the quickest.

And I think the answer to the last FAQ really says it all, from CC's perspective and EK's: "Clack Factory keycaps are very limited works of art, and it's the Clack Factory's wish that these not just be sold to the highest bidder (or fastest clicker)."

If you look carefully, there's a different "iD" number for each cap, meaning they aren't related in the one keycap limitation. So that's really one per keycap.

I'm half hoping EK is able to share the demand with clack factory and convince him to start producing greater numbers of keys. What percentage of the community that wants CCs do you think is actually able to get something? My guess is 10-15%, maybe even less taking my personal history of attempts into account. I do think the percentage of the community willing to spend $100 per cap is probably at 50-65% though.

I went down for 4, the 3 I would have tried to buy with the 3 limit of a normal sale, + one for luck. If it is truly random then I guess you could put down for 8 and actually get 8, or none.

you could try and scam it by having friends enter but hopefully most of us wouldn't be such arses.

I put in for the four MX variants. I'm only really interested in two of them, but if I get one of the others, it will be for trading only. I'm not trying to scalp the things, just get ones I like and hopefully help someone else find the ones they want. I didn't enter for the topres because I don't have a topre board, and that felt more like denying someone who could've used them the chance to win.

If you enter the drawings, are you committed to buying them if your name gets picked?  Just curious...

Yeah, they say that you must pay if you win... not sure how they would enforce that though.

So they won't allow you to give up your place in the sale to someone else if you decide you don't want it?  Lame...

I mean, what if I were to be chosen for three of them but I decide I only want two?

I guess that's exactly what they're trying to prevent by saying that you can't alter your shipping address, which only just occurred to me after you mentioned it. I would assume that they'd let you back out of the purchase and it would just go to some other random person, but the point is that you can't transfer your win to a person of your choosing.

It's not an ideal solution but I guess it's the best they can do under the circumstances.

No if you register for the cap and win it then you are expected to pay for it.
 
Why would you register to buy something that you don't want to buy?  ???

Solely to increase your odds of receiving a CC?  I registered for all of the MX CCs, but I doubt I'll get picked for all four of them...

Honestly, there are a couple of old clacks I sort of like, namely the julysicle and a couple of the skulls. . .

but mostly for profit LOL

To be frank, I just don't understand the "point" of a 30/100 dollar keycap. Yeah they look sweet, but you can get a whole set of caps for that (CCnG anyone?).

It's like spending money just to spend money. Is that 300 dollar pair of shoes really 10 times better than a well made 30 dollar pair of shoes?

Thanks for the heads up. Seems we broke some utf-8 functionality while making sure that some polish characters are properly transliterated...

In fact we intend to *not* store or use characters with accents or anything that is not in the 26 letter English alphabet because we ship using automated shipping systems that do not accept such characters.

BTW, I'd recommend that anyone who can represent their name or address with the English alphabet (and does not natively) do so *always* when ordering something shipped to or from your country in order to avoid shipping mistakes and delays.

One entry per keycap design/model, so currently with 8 drawings running that would allow for 8 total entries. The rules have been updated on each page to (hopefully) clarify this:

"1. One drawing entry per person (per keycap model)."

I registered for all the clacks in hopes of getting at least 1 or 2. However, if I do get more than that ( perhaps if the quantity made is huge or I'm just insanely lucky on the 15th) I would be kinda broke. Hence would it not be possible to give up my place for one or more clacks that I may win to a random person?

I know the alternative is to register for just the ones I want but I would rather take my chances with the likelihood of getting more than zero clacks which is waaay more likely.

oh nvm. looks like drawing opened up again is extended to the 16th

Where do you see it was closed and opened? As far as I've seen the deadline for entry was always 2012/11/15 23:59:59 PST which is tonight.

Says the 16th for me. Click on a key and it's at the top.

Yeah I see the two dates now too. Never noticed the top most date so I can't say when or if it changed. But like GeorgeK the earliest date of 2012/11/15 23:59:59 PST still has not passed. We have about 16 hours to go on that and then add another day if it ends on the 16th.

WTF? who changes contest rules in the middle of the thing? shady.

Nothing was changed, someone alerted me to the contest ending late last night and, me being tired, I just changed the contest date temporarily until I had more time to look at it today to find the missing equal sign in the script that calculates the end date. Ending times on the registration pages should be consistent now. Sorry for the confusion.

Also, I have to ask for your patience in all this, as this is the first drawing we've run, and inevitably, a couple of bugs have shown up:) Hopefully future drawings for keys and some other *freebies* we've had in mind for some time will go much smoother:)

And while I'm at it here...drawing results will not be posted immediately after the end time, as we need to complete our review of all the submissions before running the drawing. We're already aware of some people who are *begging* for disqualification, so I apologize for any delays that come of these weasels. We want this drawing to be as fair as possible.

I pm'd the man himself asking and he didnt reply so dont get your hopes up. Imagine the traffic it would get in such a short amount of time! Im wondering if that has anything to do with it. I can remember oogling at all the sweet designs in his gallery several times before the 'geekhack incident'. I would love to see an updated gallery of past keycaps.

Yeah, I'd love to see this happen to two people who both happened to live in some smaller town.

ONE ENTRY PER 100 SQUARE MILE GEOGRAPHIC AREA SORRY GUYS

I've been over a friend's house for a few days and we both registered from the same IP address so hopefully we're both disqualified because people aren't allowed to be friends or live near each other.

This is what happens when you tell people you're going to sieve for "cheaters," or whatever, but without disclosing your exact methodology.

In which case, people might be able to more effectively "cheat."

So clearly a system which is random, but not random, is the solution.

I'm not really very concerned with this particular sale but I'm perpetually aware of exactly how horribly awry a human's cognition can run when they're "just trying to do the right thing."

A certain amount of mystery surrounds every Clacks sale - it is part of the, er, mystery.  That didn't come out quite right, but you know what I mean.

That's this kind of stuff that keeps this thread entertaining,
brilliant!

 :-X due to having misread at EliteKeyboards I thought I'd entered a "drawing/artwork/painting" competition to be picked at random - not some lotto draw! - it was only when I was linked to this thread I realised  :-[

Haha! I'm happy I'm not the only one
As a non native my first understanding of drawing was the pen and paper thing, what made me pull of my wacom and then I came here and understood..!
I hope you get what you ordered for, this would be well deserved ^^

Quote
This drawing is for one of several Clack Factory model CF-5C-SKU-CC keycaps. This is not a free drawing and the advertised retail price must be paid if you win.

Please read the drawing rules below before filling out the registration form. Winners will be selected randomly and contacted by email following completion of the drawing period (2012/11/15 23:59:59 PST). GOOD LUCK!
Clack Factory Drawing Rules:

1. One drawing entry per person (per keycap model). Efforts to "game" the system will likely be noticed and disqualified (as will any other entries to other drawings that we can reasonably tie to that person for the foreseeable future.).
2. Payment is required if you win. Winners will receive an invoice for the advertised price (plus First Class shipping) by email and will have 30 days to pay for their item.
3. Provide valid information. Your e-mail address is not correctable and no changes to the shipping information you input here can be made. Be careful!
FAQs:

Q: What does EK do with my information if I don't win?
A: It will be used to analyze drawing trends. You will not be subscribed to any lists. You will only be contacted if you win. Your information will never be sold.
Q: If I win can I have the keycap shipped to another address?
A: No, see #3 above.
Q: How many keycaps do you have?
A: It's a secret.
Q: Why can't I just buy this keycap? I have money and am ready to pay!
A: Clack Factory keycaps are very limited works of art, and it's the Clack Factory's wish that these not just be sold to the highest bidder (or fastest clicker).

Yep, that's what it says all right. But I think that was before they noticed some people submitting multiple entries. Better to take the time to weed out the cheaters and award the clacks to honest people IMO.

Probably. I'm sure there are some crafty people out there who have found ways. The sad reality is that depending on how EK determines who is cheating the crafty guys will get away with it and the honest people who happened to register on the same computer as another GH member might get banned from this sale and any future sales.

I would think name, address and email are more of the deciding factors over IP. I would think IP would be useful as a simple way of flagging potential cheaters, but not enough by itself to conclude anything.

I just read through their faq and the contest registration page and there is no mention of a no po box policy.  In fact, on the contest registration page it mentions that the caps will be shipped first class mail, so I really don't think they would deny po boxes and complicate things by forcing those customers to use fedex ground.

Seems like a lot of work and expense for what may be no more than a couple hundred dollars. I can believe someone registering using several addresses they have control over, but going out and getting a bunch of PO boxes for this purpose just seems ridiculous. We still have no idea what the odds of winning a drawing are. For all we know, it may be a lot less than 1:8.

I reckon this is part of the reason they are selling like this, so ppl will have the option to do just that. I also will be adding to my order if I win - just a few topre caps, but I would never risk doing that in a regular clack sale, I'm guessing EK has worked this out.

Because in general someone who buys a $500 keyboard (or even a $150 keyboard) will buy a $30 key cap to go on it, but someone who buys a $20 rubber keyboard is unlikely to buy any custom key caps.

Next someone will ask for an ALPS CC ;)

I've had a hhkb in the cart before when trying to buy cc's mainly to save on shipping. However my type s arrived this morning and I gotta say the cc I had planned for it looks ridiculous, something aint right about a $30 plastic skull on a $500 keyboard

my topre cc's now have no home


Too true! Going to sell mine off soon as I have come to this realisation.

tbh I think I will do the same, only had 5 minutes with the board this morning (posty rocked up about 8.30) before going to work and it is what I thought it would be - the best keyboard ever and exactly what I have been looking for on my journey through keyboards the last couple of years. Beautiful, minimal, attaching a toy to it is just completely wrong IMO. I have red topre esc which is about as far as I will go, and even that might be a bit much

I would have imagined that CC would have forwarded the keycaps to EK only if there was a sufficient quantity to warrant getting a third party involved.  Otherwise he could have sold them himself via his vendor sub-forum.

There's also the possibility that due to the "overwhelming" amount of registrations for the contest, Clack decided to make more for the EK sale. Just positive thinking and in reality I highly doubt this is the case. HIGHLY doubt.

^true.

As much as I appreciate the efforts of EK, I think it's just too draining, time consuming and difficult for them to sieve through hundreds of ballots, cross-checking them over and over again to make sure it's not a reseller's ballot they're allowing to get through.

Sometimes in life, it's first come first served.. Classic me being a day late a dollar short half the time, but I think I'll feel better missing out because I didn't check the page enough rather than not getting lucky enough to get my ballot drawn and knowing only after 3 weeks time x.x

Then the time they would have to invest to ensure fairness is definitely not worth their while. I realize they are trying to do the right thing by Mr. Clack, but it can't be worth the few dollars they stand to make on the sale.
Title: Re: EliteKeyboards IS READYING A CLACK SALE
Post by: rowdy on Fri, 23 November 2012, 02:02:35
It is not a question of EK making money - they would anyway.

In fact doing it this way is probably costing them more, as someone has to look through all the entries.

It seems as if they found some cheaters, which is not exactly unexpected (no-one around here, I'm sure).

I would prefer that they take a little longer, as their time permits, and weed out the cheaters to give the rest of us a fairer chance.

And this is the first time EK has done a Clacks sale this way - the next one can only go smoother :)

either that or the CC Mafia stepped in and forced EK to not sell them or the market would be flooded and lower prices, hence destroying there lucrative profiteering racket!

Do you though, how exactally would they enforce that? ...the draw date was never set in stone and we have heard literally nothing since...

I'm not complaining, but it would seem kind of brutal to penalise people who couldn't/didn't pay (for what ever reason) then ever they finally annouce the winners...
Title: Re: EliteKeyboards IS READYING A CLACK SALE
Post by: rowdy on Sat, 24 November 2012, 15:49:29
Yes, you do.  It was one of the conditions for entering the draw:

"2. Payment is required if you win. Winners will receive an invoice for the advertised price (plus First Class shipping) by email and will have 30 days to pay for their item."

And if you don't pay in 30 days?

I think this was meant more as a way to let people know that if you win the drawing the items aren't free.

And even if entering the draw was a legally binding agreement, which I highly doubt (especially outside of the US), pursuing the money would cost a lot more than what a clack is worth. If you entered and can't afford to pay if you win, I certainly wouldn't worry. I am sure they would just draw again.

I would think that at the very least it means you forfeit all the clacks you won, if there were multiple. And hopefully get blacklisted from future drawings, should they occur.

It seems the guy at EK has put in a lot of effort to try and make it fair for everyone, and I really respect this effort.

The more people that these are widely available to, the less likely people will be paying rather inflated prices for items which are just accessories for the main attraction - the keyboard.  From what EK says, the creator doesn't want his goods sold at high prices. None of the 'extra' money earned goes back to either of them anyway.

I don't have any CC's at all, and will be really happy to own just one.

Just to help EK out in turns of suggestions/feedback, what I think/see are problems in the current system:

a) 30 days to pay
- Personally I think this is too long, if you can't pay in 48 hours, you should never have bought it in the first place, as you don't have the money. This leaves the option of advertising that you have a 'CC' for sale and presenting an opportunity of selling it at an inflated price in order to pay it off and profit.

b) Having an option where people buy things they don't need (i.e. Cherry MX keys when one only has a Topre) in the hope that the limited number of them can be traded for one that is wanted.
- There is something wrong with this - consumerism gone wrong: buying things you don't need; while I acknowledge that people may own both boards, there are many that only own one, and have done this to increase their chances of getting just 'one' of 'something'.
 
c) Reliance on data analysis/mining to catch cheats
- There is a significant time and effort cost in this, as EK is probably realizing. Whatever checks, there will be those that will find ways around by flaunting the unregistered system.

I really want to see hard penalties for those trying to play/cheat the system. If people registered, win one and don't want to pay - I really hope they don't get a chance to buy one again. It's not a game and there are people that really want just one.


Anyway, I was thinking how to make it fairer for all, and I would suggest something like a: "Pre-registration/Nomination system".

How this might work:

1. EK team to set up Member Registration for their website (all email, address info will be here)
2. Restriction of sale of specials to EK Members (i.e. not available for public sale, unless registered)
3. At time of a new sale, a registration page is available to nominate, in order/preference, say 3 keys only (any type: Topre, Cherry MX, or same ones).
4. EK can conduct his method of sale - i.e. 'first in first served' or 'drawing', or apply his multiplier effect if the same key is wanted (he suggested in previous posts)
5. The Member account on EK will record that you have been sold which item/how many - and should prevent you selecting or nominating that item again in future sales where it comes up. (i.e. limit 1 offer of a CC type that comes out).
6. Future improvement suggestions may be ways of bumping up the chances of those who have missed out on their nominations in previous sales, etc...

All payment option/address information will be tied to the EK Member registration, where data analysis can be done continuously over time - not just during a limited 'drawing' period.


What do others think - while there is no 'perfect' system - what is the way to maximize the availability of these to people and be a fairer system, given that these can only be made in a limited quantity?  I'm sure EK will be interested in knowing too.

TL;DR:
Suggest your way of implementing a fairer CC sale for all.

Changing it to "Pay within 48 hours" would be silly if it's going to take however many weeks for people to even know if they are permitted to buy one. Some people can't just keep cash in their pockets waiting for an unknown amount of time just 'in-case'. Penalising them for not being able to afford it would be stupid, it's not like people can guarantee how much they will have for weeks on end.

^This is true.

Not everyone has a credit card, and it takes a day or two to transfer money from your bank account to paypal.(At least for me).

30days is quite long. I think 2weeks sounds fair though.

Agreed.  Although they should realize that as a customer, I'm likely to have moved on and spent my money on something else by now (which I have).

Post by: danielucf on Thu, 29 November 2012, 12:03:28
If they really wanted it to be fair they would have chunks of keys available 8 hours apart 3 times in one day, and people can only buy one key. That way no matter what time zone you are in you have a chance at a reasonable hour to make a purchase, and with a one key limit more people will be able to purchase which is considered "fair". That way it is first come first serve, and it is hard for cheaters to make several purchases at once with a one key limit so even cheaters will probably only be able to get 2-3 keys instead of 6-9 before they sell out.

I agree to a point. It was somewhat random but 3 per person was too many. It did not satisfy enough people and also too many were inconvenienced by the time of day.

Maybe it was but people were still excited to get them, this system has killed off the excitement, I can't imagine that many will be that happy with the draw because they will have spent the money on other things.


Then there will have to be another draw.

I doubt there's any death to the excitement of clack buying, if there were, no one would be near this thread for one.  And I would bet the actual picking of the people takes less than a second, so if someone was all "I shall not pay for this clack", an email would be to another person before winner number one could go "WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST DO?!" and retract what they said.

That being said, any kind of words from ek or cf about this would be interesting to read.

to be honest, if you don't have the disposable income to hold on for clacks and the wait from EK, you may want to rethink your purchases.

The chances of you winning the drawings for all the caps are pretty damn small, you should prob spend no more than $60~ on your EK purchase here from CC
If you're worried about spending $60~ somewhere else, you really have to reconsider your budget for hobbies.

For people with a full time job the system does not really work.  I'm pretty sure the July sale sold out in under an hour?  I'm also pretty sure by the time I got the email about the same it was already sold out.  Not trying to whine here but from the perspective of someone who is not camping the internet all day, or cannot log in at work to make a purchase, this lottery system is a lot better. 
Title: Re: EliteKeyboards IS READYING A CLACK SALE
Post by: danielucf on Thu, 29 November 2012, 14:53:50
I really honestly think EK/CF used this method to get a "true" count of how many people would be willing to buy keys. Especially since they put the stipulation in to not enter if you could not pay within 30 days. They are conveniently taking a lot of time to "catch the cheaters", but I really think they are making more keys so that EK and Clack Factory can make money this time around instead of the secondary market. EK can't sell extra orders until the keys are made and ready for shipping.

I can stand by these statements ALL DAY!

why is it unprofessional and shameful?

I feel like this is the one situation where "vote with your wallet" doesn't actually make any sense. Everyone here wants to vote yes with their wallet, but we are not able to. "unprofessional and shameful" is an overreaction in my opinion, but the fact of the matter is that EK is not doing what they said they would do, nor have they told us what the plan is now, and that's kind of ****ty.

Here's a recommendation for the future:

Everyone who enters the drawing for a CC must show up for a fight to the death to determine who gets a CC and who doesn't.  Broadcast the event live on pay-per-view, and use the proceeds to help fund the new GeekHack hardware.

Problem solved!

Communicating with your customer base and keeping them informed is good service. Like noisyturtle pointed out; there might be various good reasons for a delay if there is one, but a simple status update or two isn't really a lot to ask for.
I'm not sure if it's correct calling it unprofessional, but a good and "professional" company should be doing what they can to satisfy their customers and make an effort to make them return, part of this is providing good service.

Now, I haven't entered the drawing nor have I ever bought from EK as I live in Europe, but if shopping from EK was a reasonable option for me the lack of communication here certainly wouldn't make them more attractive.

i agree, so that means you would take your business elsewhere if you don't like the service you're given.

Oh wait, the obsession with CC means you'll still do business with EK, you'll just *****/moan about it.

Im just saying its a keycap people, it ain't anything to get all worked up about.
I didn't enter for all of the caps.  If i get picked on the drawing, nice.
If I don't, meh whatever there's next time.

How is EK's delay in response actually causing you any harm?  Its not like you placed the order with them and was charged, this is a pre-purchase raffle remember?
I'd understand the pitchfork mentality if $$ was exchanged, but all that was exchanged was your email.

Unless EK took our info and sold it....then its time to break out the chinese water torture!

No one will be upset if EK just tells us they are making more keys to meet demand. Everyone will be happy if more CCs are available. Maybe a few grumpy cat hoarders will ***** and moan that their keys won't be worth $100 a piece but no one should care about them.

Just because money hasn't been exchanged doesn't mean it is ok to say "sorry we will need two days to find cheaters" and then over two weeks passes. People and companies should always stick to their word, and if something changes an announcement needs to be made.

You know what? I don't think there is anything wrong with anything they're doing. These are like collector's items. When people sell action figures or such that will be collectibles, they sell them for the price they choose. On the secondary market, they go up in price. That's what happens. They don't figure out how to make sure everyone can get one. They make a number of them and sell them. So why are we all arguing about how they can do this better, or be more fair to everyone?

You know what's fair? Creating a second run. I really want a Candycorn. Before this, I knew I would have to search for one. Now, they've given me a chance to get one for a better price. And even if I can't get one, there are now more in the market, thus a higher chance I can get one later. That's more than fair, isn't it? He could've just as well not done that.

So maybe we should just all stop complaining. There is no Clack socialism. You either get one or you don't. We don't all get to own everything. This is about supply and demand. The supply is what it is, and you obviously have a demand for them. The problem is not one of those things, but that you're not willing to follow the law and pay the price for them.

I have a hard time believing they're actually devoting all this time and resources to catching cheaters. What would be the benefit for them in doing that? I'm sure that at this point the reason for the delay must be something else. Hopefully we'll find out soon enough.

sigh people are so sensitive. if anything it was a complement.

i know alot of people in korea and japan especially and most of them are wizards at masking thier IP location. i have alot of hacker friends over there and to be honest i have never met one of them that arn't competent with this sort of thing and it wouldn't be hard to imagine most of the "cheaters" came from this area of the globe.

got nothing to with race.

note how i didn't say ASIANS. i said ASIAN COUNTRIES.

Actually, there very well could have been thousands of entries just among GH and DT members. If each person entered all 8 drawings, only 125 users needed to enter for there to be 1000 entries.

good point at that. i thought he meant thousands of individual entries though. shoulda been easy to sort out multiple entries from same person for different clacks.

i wonder how many clacks there are? lol probally like 2 of each...

I think there are going to be some hurt feelings and criticism any time everyone doesn't get what they want, but I think this was about most fair way to go about this.  And although it did take a while to get the results, I think a tremendous amount of appreciation is due to EK and Clack for spending so much time and effort trying to make things balanced, when there is really nothing for them to gain from it.

Ha, in all honesty anyone who is attempting to make a quick buck off of these really missed the point. Although I got my least favorite out of the 4, they still wouldn't be sold. I would either sell it for the exact amount bought or trade for one that I want. Then again to each is own.

I stand corrected, he wasn't even selling a clack :/

I still think that a limit of one per person with three sales a day 8 hours apart at a first come first serve basis would give everyone pretty much the same chance to get a key. This would also eliminate cheating because they will sell out before someone has time to go through placing several orders, and eliminate the luck factor. Some people like those socialist "do almost no work and get something for it" systems though so *shrug*.

Then again a system where people only get one key will probably promote more aftermarket sales. Those who "gotta have them all" and collect one of each will pay what ever they have to, to complete their set, and those who only have one or two keys will decide to sell for crazy prices because it will be impossible for them to get a decent collection. On second thought we are pretty much there already, CCs for almost everyone!

I think it's probably because with the normal system, if you didn't score a clack, it was "your own fault" for not being fast enough/camping enough/clicking fast enough, although the chances for scoring one were very small, at the end of the day, you felt responsible for getting it or not.  With this system, the control is taken completely out of your hands--no matter how quickly you registered, you fate was decided by a random number generator, so you feel like you have someone else to blame, even if it is a much more fair system, which it almost undoubtedly was.  It's kind of like how I feel comfortable driving fast myself, but am incredibly uncomfortable to be in the car while someone else is speeding--it's just that the feeling of control or influence is gone.  To me, though, it is nice to see a bit more diverse distribution of the caps.

I think the lotto system might be better because there is no advantage. The old way, people that lived closer to California will have a slight advantage due to the latency. Since these things sell out in seconds, you can imagine how a fraction of a second can determin if you've made the dibs sale or not :(

This is definitely true. With the old sale I made sure to be at the computer at the exact moment it started. I hit the send button at exactly 0 seconds on the hour and I did not get it. At that point it became dependent on a combination of network conditions and the fact that I was some fractions of a second late because I did not use a bot to send the email (as I'm sure some people did).

How can anyone talk about more control when there were many others who did everything right, as I had, and still did not get it? It also meant everyone had to take the time out to be at the computer at that moment or make some other accommodations. The drawing gives people the opportunity to actually have a life.

Guys, I have a confession to make: I jokingly asked my friend to also sign up for all the MX keycaps and sell any he won to me. and then he did, and he did. So in a small way, I cheated.

BUT

Instead of letting me pay for it, he called it a Christmas present. And then he told me he got a $50k bonus at work. I think we all know who the real villain is here.

I got my black Topre CC and GMK Red Esc.

The black CC goes so well with my black/grey caps of HHKB. It is subtle but at the same time stands out. I hope I could get another one in the next round of draws.

As for the Red Esc, it is pretty good. I am glad EK have them on stock and that they are available whenever I need them.

I'm starting to think that my Oktoberfest Topre got lost in the mail since I already received some days ago my 5 red Esc that were sent later. Also the tracking doesn't show up any update since 7 December.

I hope is just the postal service being lazy because of Christmas.

Well, I put in for draw for the Topre caps and would love a Oktoberfest one, but the majority on the market seem to have gone to MX owners.  If they were offered at the cost price + some shipping, yeah, I'll take it, but I'm not paying the prices some people are asking. I'll be happy to wait until there are more in stock later.

Most of the recent Classifieds are asking $70-$90 a key cap; perhaps sellers are demanding more than the market will bear? A Topre board costs over $200, but $90 is still $90, and that alone will buy you a good keyboard.

I don't understand the fuss about selling at cost vs blackmarket prices($80-90+), most CCs are sold/traded at these prices and ppl do buy them. I think its the proximity of the sale date and this thread that makes those bitter about not winning a CC.
