Just seen this myself. I think I'm going to send a load of offers and hope he doesn't accept them all :p

Damn...:(

Good for him and good for everyone who will get something they want :)

He also said "if there's something you see on my blog that isn't listed here, I am likely not selling (i.e. Korean customs or my other CC's) but I won't deny an interesting offer."
That is where the gold is :p

But good thing my name isn't one of the four he's banned from buying his wares.
-
yeah i'll say its hypocritical for someone who basically snapped about PM transactions to now doing it via PM.
Glad to see "do as i say, not as i do" still holding strong for the old members.
Also i dunno if this is actually a"great find" as he's taking best offers aka highest $$.
in a silent bidding process.

It is hypocritical, but it may have something to do with the large amount of items he's selling. I can see a public auction of those items being really messy and chaotic.

Perhaps, but people have still managed high volume public auctions. I'm sure Dan himself did one a few months back.

yeah but i didn't make a stink about transparency and how silent auctions are shady.
Didn't table flip on GH then ***** on DT and Reddit.
oh well whatever still don't see how this is a "Great finds", maybe off topic.
-
Hey, I'm agreeing with you! :D
-
Mods feel free to move - I thought this was a great find because there are a lot of rare items up for sale.

It is, for exactly that reason. People's opinions on the person or their actions don't change that. Talk of those things is off-topic, and a thread should be made for that in that sub.
-
This thread is such a great find, despite Dan leaving for good.

Now he has more reason to hate you, tsangan, you demon!

I agree, but not completely. It does seem like a great find, multiple items for sale in one link.
If you're really getting out of the hobby completely, then everything goes. Unless I completely misread the linked post, it appears that DanG is actually keeping quite a few items. That's just a sale, not a getting-rid-of-all-and-moving-to-Tibet SALE.
Just sayin'.
;D

You're right, I don't. I keep thinking everyone's making fun of me and mentioning klaxon too much or something.

You can't do that! I'm already way too close for comfort to catching up. It wasn't too long ago that you had hundreds on me!

Agreed.

I don't get how people can get so butt hurt about plastic...

I haven't seen this many people viewing a thread since Dan's last auction. ;)

It's because they used plastic instead of latex and lube.
-
For someone who gave quite a few lectures on getting valuable items not through money, he sure is a hypocrite and it looks like he knows full well of this. Now he basically wants you to throw money at his items via non-transparent PMs. Tsk tsk... that sure lost him some brownie points. I have nothing against Dan, actually rather like him, but if you're going to preach about something, stick to your own words.

Glad someone said it, but it needs to be said by someone with gravitas (not saying you lack it, wfd) in his thread that he totally won't read again.

I feel the need to clarify that I wasn't even talking about the caps, but the they I mean was keyboard forums

My wife finds it endlessly amusing how much drama exists on a keyboard forum. Periodically when she sees me on GH she'll say "ooh, new keyboard drama, honey?"
-

As a relative newcomer to the keyboard/keycap collecting scene, I find this sort of thread hilarious!
Every community goes through this sort of strife, it's amazing to me to see how similar these discussions are to ones I participated in back when I helped organize science-fiction conventions.
;D

LMAO! My girlfriend is totally ignorant that I have over 5,000 posts.

Pretty much.
There's a whole parallel thread going on over at DT, the soap opera is now popular enough to do spin-offs. :p

I have a feeling that the entire motivation for his post is so he could specifically ban jcrouse and reaper and kawa. :rolleyes:

Well, according to him and a mysterious second person, mkawa is ruining geekhack singlehandedly.
-
I talk to mkawa almost daily and it is obvious to me his commitment to geekhack and the community is clearly his priority.

Saw that a little while ago. He's a little pissed me thinks. No way to get revenge on Geekhack and your morals than to show displeasure by having a silent auction. XD

Kawa, I thought I did...Hash taught me what little I know but....I'm so unsure now.

Did someone mention epistemology?
About Dangwang, it's always sad to see someone leave the community. I'm glad he's selling some of his stuff. It's better to keep the good items circulating in the community where people will use them, rather than letting them collect dust, unwanted.
-
It's true that klaxonomy is a young discipline, and that no one understands its underlying phenomena well. That's what makes it so exciting!

seems like just a drama queen imo, keeping this nonsense going.
oh well, another drama queen joins the ranks
-
I only see a couple of RFs and some novelty key caps. That's his big sell off after all this time?
-
I don't know how someone can become so invested in a hobby and then just give it all up and sell most of the things you've acquired, loosing passion in a hobby your properly invested in usually happens over time and dsnt usually result in on big sale.
Looks more like he is cashing out than anything else, if he actually cared about either community or members within said communities it seems unlikely he's be holding essentially a private auction for everything.
I'd probably be a little annoyed if I was anything to do with making clacks
-
He's holding on to all his custom keyboards so not sure if he's really quitting for good. Looks like he's just getting rid of misc stuff he doesn't want anymore.
-
Right, but if he really cared as much as he made out to wouldn't he rather set up give aways or donate them to people he deemed worthy? I duknow, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth when people with access to things most people will never even get to see set up private auctions to sell them off, regardless of what it is.
(For the record I'm not salty or anything as I don't actually want any of the things he's selling :P )

man that's absolutely nothing.
my boss has a friend that just did the mulholland challenge.
16k feet of climbing, 198 miles. he was on his bike from 8am to 8pm.

I did a 50 miler with my scout troop once, we did it in 9 or 10 hours, IIRC. Quite a trek, 150 miles is crazy.

which? ciclavia? yes. i havent done the MS150, but my boss did it last year. a really well organized event with check points that have bathrooms, food, ambulance in case something happens. he said the best part was at the end when the families of people with MS are there to see you at the finish line and thank you.

I once did 44 miles on a recumbent bicycle and while I was exhausted at the end my ass was fine.
150 miles on a conventional diamond frame bicycle? OUCH...

Rode from Half Moon Bay to San Luis Obispo... and back.

Guys, come on. This thread is for bagging on Dangwang. If you want to talk bikes make your own thread.

What can we say to Dan that webwit didn't say? Obviously, the natural evolution was bikes.
