As you can see, not everyone who ordered has paid. With the exception of some money on its way to the US, we have gotten an incredible response.
But there are a few items we need to collect on or find new buyers for.
If you haven't paid an invoice, pay it now or you will be in line with everyone else!
So here is what is available for ordering for the next 24 hours:
23 alpha kits
35 tkl kits <<<--- We especially need to find homes for these!
42 tklplum kits
18 numpad kits
3 iso kits
3 mod100 kits
8 mod125 kits
39 space625 spacebars
1 space600 spacebars
7 space600dsa spacebars
10 space625dsa spacebars
23 space700dsa spacebars
17 blk175 keycaps
9 blk200 keycaps
3 blk200p keycaps
Prices and kit details are still here:

TO BUY THE EXTRAS:
Send me, samwisekoi, a PM here with a list of what you want to buy. PayPal invoices will go out in timestamp order. Your additional order will not be final until PayPal shows the payment as completed.
If you have already placed an order, I won't add shipping costs AT THIS TIME. (If it won't fit in the original box, I will contact you when the time comes.)
Ok? Go!
TL; DR: Send a PM to samwisekoi if you want to pay for any of the extras TODAY. First paid, first served.

That's a whole lot of unpaid orderers. But this is a good chance for people that actually want this set to get in on this!
-
I hate to say I told you so but if this had been a regular length group buy with regular amount of time for payments then these kinds of things probably wouldn't happen. That being said I'll ask my friends if any of them are interested in picking something up but they are all keyboard nooblets and are holding out for Toxic as their one replacement set of caps.
It is also possible that because of the awesome fancy order form people just filled it out to test how it worked and never deleted their test order. This does seem like a really high number of unpaid items.

Really don't think this was because of the short close date.
Anyways, I just ordered more sets!
-
So you are saying that the GB went on for too long and people forgot that they had ordered. Got it.
Unpaid orders is a common problem. Sam, where is the list of shame?
-
So who made these weird orders with so many mod kits? There are ~3x as many unpaid mods than alpha kits. Compare this to the totals:
418 alpha
104 tkl
313 tklplum

Yeah, that's really odd. I wonder if some people don't realize that you don't get modifiers with Extended Alpha...
Is the list of shame mandatory?
We love List of Shame! :)

Sorry about all of them. I forget to add some info, and then I didn't realize I needed to order a space bar also.

Actually the number of orders paid was high, but a few vendor/large orders impacted the order volume quite significantly. In particular this impacted the tier for non-plum mods, albeit only by $4 per set of mods.
The one-keyset orders, the low dollar orders, and the new-member orders all got paid promptly. At the end of the day, there were only two of those that remain unpaid. Those two were replaced by 21 new orders of similar size within three hours this afternoon. And Asia and Europe are still to come.
I now have really good data, and the demographics and timing of orders and payments are interesting.
Many things to improve about the process (as always) but neither speed nor new buyers were problems.

Invoice paid.

My wallet is ready.

OK, I think I like this 24-hour mad dash of orders. Started getting PM requests within minutes of the OP, worked through those. A pause. Another flood and more invoicing. Drive home.
To find another 10 messages in my PM in-box. Whew!
Anyone who sent/sends me a message after 4:59PM PST today will get a reply in the morning. Your order will be taken in order of timestamp as promised.
Thanks to one and all!

p.s. Please show the regular TKL set some love!
p.p.s. Please provide your PayPay e-mail and your ship-to location so I can calculate postage and send the invoice!
-
Invoice paid :)
-
PM sent - Originally ordered, then cancelled, and now back in the GB (hopefully). Turns out I don't have any self-control. The more I see this set, the more I want it.

This set will pave the way for DSA sets in the future. The bigger the turn out, the better our chances are of getting more in this profile.

Hope those I wanted are still available. ~_~
-
Good that so many peeps ordered in this 24h run. Hopefully we can push it to the end so Sam could send the order and get those beauties produced ASAP.
This is my first GB and I think not the last one ;D
Guys! Don't resist! DO IT! :eek:
-
Yeah, if your on the fence, you will not find this set cheaper than you can right now.
-
Do you plan to update the counts? I've been thinking about a regular TKL set.
-
paid! ;D
-
Paid for the extras :)
-
Looks like a lot of people are getting on the Retro DSA wagon before it departs. How likely are we to fill those remaining orders?
-

Have enough of the TKL been taken to keep the pricing in good shape? I want to take one, but I've made prior arrangements. But if it's a necessity, I may be able to squeeze one. But only if it's very beneficial. If my one won't keep them in their price range, then I'll most likely have to pass... :/

You should do the right thing for you. The group buy, and the price for the TKL set will be fine.
I'll take the above as a pass.
Thanks for posting.
For everyone else: TEN MINUTES BEFORE WE CLOSE FINAL ORDERS!

Yes, and 40 others overnight.
You shall be contacted! All of you! It will all be fine!
I am locking this thread, and will provide an update to all once I get through my PM flood.
Practice your Zen-like waiting this morning.
