Post by: danielucf on Wed, 17 April 2013, 07:55:18: Can you give us a rough estimate of what these cost when new? Don't want to send a really low offer because of ignorance.
Title: Re: Scarface set
Post by: longweight on Wed, 17 April 2013, 07:56:39: They cost me around 600 USD at the time including exchange rate and postage if I remember correctly.

Post by: tricheboars on Wed, 17 April 2013, 09:59:26: wow... that price and those caps. damn.

no way I would sell those.

do those caps type differently? i imagine they are heavier than plastic so does that change the spring of the switches?

I thought there was a rule that you couldn't sell stuff for more than the GB price. I guess I was wrong.

GLWS, lovely caps.

I won't sell them at a loss and I don't think that getting back what I paid would be enough of an incentive to sell them at the moment.

I do need the money for something which is also why I have been selling off my clacks but I'm not going to post a charity auction like so many have already here.

Post by: ideus on Mon, 22 April 2013, 09:11:25: I am confused. It sounds you want someone to beg you to sell your caps handing you some extra hundreds over what you originally paid as incentive? :( Strange way to negotiate... or it may be a convenient way, who knows?

It is but this is GH and I really don't give a **** any more about threadcrapping!
Title: Re: Scarface set
Post by: jdcarpe on Mon, 22 April 2013, 15:33:06: It's only threadcrapping if the OP reports it as such to a mod. Also, pointing out threadcrapping is, in itself, threadcrapping.

What other sets that I can order now should I look at? Not interested in GB stuff really.

Post by: phetto on Mon, 27 May 2013, 05:06:14: Dont you think that it MIGHT looks really cool with the white/blue GMK caps? ^^ Orange on charcoal as you mentioned arent too bad either.

You should look into getting a case for it aswell. :D
Title: Re: Scarface needs modifiers!
Post by: longweight on Mon, 27 May 2013, 05:08:51: Rain drop caps? It would do but I don't think that legends will work really. Ideally I want a blank set where the caps are all the same colour.

I should get a case but they are expensive! The only case that I would buy is WRXchris' wooden case.
