Then the cc illuminates, "those collectors" you know of, use their multiple accounts and mod privilages to obscure the facts.

The reason for the sell-off is because the hype is dieing down on keyboards overall. the ergodox has really changed the concept of keycap collection for many.
we are seeing the keyboard shifting from being a useless aesthetic towards pure-utility.
And fancy caps are Trivial next to the immense torrent of usefulness that is imbued in each Ergodox.
The click clacks were also NEVER actually that popular. It was a very small group of collectors. You saw a wave of "devotee" threads on them because those morons needs some way to justify their silly purchases.
But the truth is, click clacks are niche, and the whole "skulls" theme is in the lowest bracket and only sell at places like hot-topic, to kids who have social anxiety.
These are the same kids who try to "stand-out" by "standing-away".. and anyone whos been through highschool knows that this strategy does NOT work.

It has nothing to do with ergodox. And also, lol.
CC told me the other day he was making new round of tricolors, and the metallic series, as well as the older 4grabs colors.

Sorry, I just saw too many broken V1 brobots, which is why I made that comment. I love the looks of them, it just seems like they're not as resilient as some others. They're much better than my own attempts so far though. I hope the V2 is more resilient. The design certainly looks like it will hold up better.
Not really hating on anything else, just making the claim, and one that I think is true, that people are getting over the Korean hype and seeing that there are cheaper options out there that are just as good. And with the glut of new cap makers coming out, there's a smaller market for caps like Clacks. They will always command a higher price than some of the newer custom caps, but I think the overall prices of them will start to come down a little. They've just been too high for too long.
I stand by my bubble claim though.

Absolutely, V1 was my learning phase. About process, colors, materials, etc. And I am happy and humbled to have the many fans support me through it. V2 will be production quality, as I have moved away from rubber molds completely.
I do enjoy competition in the market, but it really isn't competition, because people will like what they like. And buy what they like, and it's nothing but a big win for the people to have more choices.

You make it sound like people buy CC's JUST because it's a custom cap......
I could be wrong, but I think its a little more than that.
What alternatives do we have?
A better theory is that Kmiller8 has decided to destroy ALL the clacks after his previous success and that Clack owners are afraid to keep them!
Disclaimer: I'm new here.
I agree with nub. I don't get the CC market. Some people have tons of them and all want to trade, but no one wants to sell. It's a weird situation that I believe makes their relative value explode, as no one is selling. So it is a smart move to sell them now.
Well, so far we've had the Phantom, GH60, and Ergodox (might be some I'm forgetting) and it looks like we have a few more in the works like AcidFire's board. We also have a bunch of different cases in the works like Photek's case, that Singaporean? kid's case, and some others. There are just getting to be more quality custom PCBs on the market and quality cases, so it's harder to justify the massive markup of some of the Korean boards. Are they quality? Yes. Are they nice enough to justify $100-250 more than some of the other options on the market? I think more people are gravitating toward no.

i think a lot of people dont sell them is because its generally looked down upon to sell something thats greater than a group buy or 4grabs price. trading is a way around that.

I think the only realistic answer is that a new robin hood (probably zenuty) has taken all the clacks from CF and will soon redistribute it for the poor and bring balance to Narnia.
Ergodox is about using the keyboard.. not collecting...
It is a sale with sound purpose... a true innovation..
For example... when they first invented the "hand bag" OMFG, that **** is awesome..
Then came... Prada, Handbag,, too cheap.. let's sell it for $9999, and call it fashion.... :D
The ergodox, is like cargo pants... Fvck handbags... why the fvk would you carry that...
Notice the manliest of man wear cargo pants. :D

clack sale clusters happen about once every 4 months, nothing to be alarmed of.

Funny thread, but the reality is likely much more mundane.
Just looking at past sales data I can see that there are quite a few CC aficionados who live very close to one another or are roommates; and I assume from their locations that they're in college. Any appearance of a "sell-off" is likely just a few young guys who are moving on to the next stage of their life and are shedding some valuables to help fund it.
There doesn't seem to be any shortage of customer inquiries for CCs. And the gnomes haven't stopped working...Show Image(https://elitekeyboards.com/external/cf_blkred_c_066.jpg)
no matter what, it sucks for people who don't have the money to get the things they want, but ESPECIALLY with a place like geekhack, hype is a major factor. there are definitely a lot of people (myself included, at least when i first got into mechs) who get excited about all the cool (new to them) toys that are on the market, and of course with a collecting hobby, rarity (artificial or otherwise) is going to play a big part in how much certain things are coveted.

For someone who came to GH being literally broke, (after saving up for 2 years to afford a computer), i can't express the frustration that was felt to try and get into the clack game. I hear the frustration from others who are not in the game yet, because it's honestly not easy without spending a lot of money. It's still possible, people still do it, i did it, but it's frustrating for many to see collectors swoop in with money to spend and pick up some duplicates for their massive collections. not saying that's unfair, just frustrating. never have i spend more then $24 (retail) to this day, and i don't ever plan on it. I don't care if others sell their clacks for $0 or for $400 because i don't really care about people making profit on GH. But for myself, i will never sell a clack for more then retail, because i was beyond frustrated when i started out here and learned about clacks, and discovered the ones i want.
just supersaiyan that it's super frustrating -_-
Well, it appears that absurd profiteering and ****ing idiotic buyers with too fat of a ****ing wallet are still running rampant around this place. Some of them, in fact, are running this place.i know i say this a lot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspicuous_consumption)
Can someone please explain how this is still happening? I'm really confused.

dude i was in pretty much the same position as you, and I never paid more than retail for a clack -- in fact, every clack i ever spent money on was straight from EK or CC.
it can be frustrating. for me, it got to the point that i was more frustrated with all the drama and price gouging than i was actually interested in these novelty keycaps. that's when i stopped caring at all... although I haven't pulled any awesome stunts like kmiller8 ;)
I like 1 clacks in specific, which is a blank.

same here, sort of. still looking for a matching fn but i got the one i wanted most, yolk yellow esc for topre. it's pretty subtle next to yellow topre keys.

good luck on your search
the julysicle hunt is now technically 'easier' with the influx of the recent sale, but not ever wanting to spend $100 makes it 10x harder haha
never have i spend more then $24 (retail) to this day, and i don't ever plan on it.
I think krinkle is a hero. Not even being facetious when I say that, he's taking a stand against this bull**** and proving if he cannot have the clacks, no one will get the clacks(at least his.) We need more people like that. Dubs, keep amassing all the julysicles until you have the all and then we can make a real statement!

You traded Raindrop for a Julysicle didn't you? I think that's more than $24. Don't tell half truths to make yourself look better.

Ok...Click Clack makes the caps and sells them for between 14-30 each typically. The clacks are hoarded and then profiteering happens.
I've always had a hard time trying to understand this clickclack stuff.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is how I see it.
There is a person called "click clack" who makes skull and other keycaps, probably spending less than $2 on the plastics to make them
He sells them for ~$100 dollars.
Tons of people buy them.
Then they rave about how clickclack is an amazing person for "gifting" such well crafted, amazing pieces of art to such simple, unworthy people such as us.
Am I missing something?
I'm with tp4 on this one.

maybe the raindrop was worth $24 to him. apparently turtle power isn't worth anything nowadays :-[

There is a person called "click clack" who makes skull and other keycaps, probably spending less than $2 on the plastics to make them
He sells them for ~$100 dollars.
Tons of people buy them.
Then they rave about how clickclack is an amazing person for "gifting" such well crafted, amazing pieces of art to such simple, unworthy people such as us.
Am I missing something?
I'm with tp4 on this one.
Honestly I think there is more to the whole thing but whatever.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_maniaOk...Click Clack makes the caps and sells them for between 14-30 each typically. The clacks are hoarded and then profiteering happens.

Oh! That makes much more sense. That's only a ~1200% markup!

Idk. I have my own theory but I'll keep it to myself.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania
I don't think people buy CCs in order to profit. The bubble is not caused by speculation. I think XD

What? Even if that's true, that's only factoring in the cost of materials to make a cap. What about the time to make the cap?
And most importantly: what about the time and materials to design this whole thing? As far as I know, you don't just wake up and decide to spend 2 bucks to make a cap. There has to be preparation and experimentation to find a design that works. Plus capital (equipment) to create the caps. Even if that isn't what's going through his head as he does this (repaying his investments, that is), it still can't be ignored and frankly it's not worth criticizing him over.

That is raw cost. You also have to factor in the time he spends grabbing it.
If you have to drive to a convenience store, it is no longer a convenience store. Then it is just a store where everything is more expensive for no particular reason.

Since we're in off topic and there's no derailment threat I'll respond earnestly. :)
Thimplum's comment was after they were notified that clacks sell from clack himself for 14-30 dollars. 30 dollars sale price for $2 item would be 1400% markup (extra 28 dollars), so that's in the same ballpark as the comment made. I figured Thimplum was referring to this markup point. Maybe not. :shrug:

these sales technically end in less then 1 second, with thousands of people missing out.

Then explain how the same group of people 'win' a clack in every sale. Having lost out on the past 13 in a row, most being submitted within a second, I refuse to believe some people are simply that lucky to walk away with what they want from every sale.

Brocaps,
As someone that hand makes your own caps and can relate, I want to discuss for a moment the level of quality control/attention to detail that click clack demonstrates that is damn near impossible round after round but he seems to do it.
Perfect color matching.
Layering consistency for the julyscicles, october fest, candy corn blanks.
His double and triple shots are not painted they are actually casted material. The thin borders/outlines on the 420 tricolor keys and the tricolor skulls teeth are incredible. It looks like he applies the first layer with toothpicks/brushes to each area of the mold.
His level of perfection for a hand made product is incredible.
It's all his gnomes and their tireless little fingers.
I think clacks are redeemable for drugs in some remote part of California, tri-colors are nearly an oz worth of the good stuff.
So remind me, where is the Clack Factory?

I believe I remember reading that CC worked in the special effects industry as a model maker. He mentioned working on Nightmare Before Christmas IIRC. He's a craftsman and a professional.

clackclark is Obama. He has saved our country, as well as this forum.I was going to say that :(
never have i spend more then $24 (retail) to this day, and i don't ever plan on it.
You traded Raindrop for a Julysicle didn't you? I think that's more than $24. Don't tell half truths to make yourself look better.
Jack O lanterns/Mr. Fridays can be traded in for it's weight in gold
Why is Mr. Friday so sought after? It's one of the more common 'rares'. Sure it looks cool, yeah.

just seeing this now, 'don't tell half truths to make yourself look better',
I got my 3 months use out of raindrop, i enjoyed it, but my interests changed and i no longer needed/wanted it. I paid about $74 for raindrop, but got my use out of it and traded it for a clack, so yes, i have only paid for $24 for a clack, and i will stick by that statement. just because i didn't shell out $74 on a clack doesnt mean i paid $74..i don't consider it that..
and it's not like i bought raindrop just to trade for that julysicle, i bought it, used it, and then traded it once my interests had changed.
don't call me out for 'making myself look better' at all dude...this thread is full of white knights and tin hat conspiratards
wait, so if I give/trade someone a new iphone5 for 'services rendered' but never gave them cash then I didn't 'purchase' said services?No.. His point is :
I need to go talk to my lawyer!!!
I have not seen a single set of caps sell for that cheap, even after months of use. Therefore, it's incorrect.Maybe those months of use were worth $50 to him. Idk :confused:
We all know that if he had placed the set up for sale, he would have asked for more than $24.

where do you get the idea that i ever said i was going to ask for $24?..
the real point should be though, why does anyone even care
I'm not trying to say i didn't trade something of higher value then retail for a clack, that's obvious
I just didn't shovel out $74 for a clack directly, i traded it after i got my use out of it, and i'm not trying to say i broke even, i'm still down $74 for it all
I just don't understand why someone has to get his **** hard over it

You paid ONE WHOLE DOLLAR!? You should be ashamed... I get all of mine for free. I mean, I traded money for them, but I had that money in my wallet, thus had gotten use out of it, so it wasn't worth anything anymore.

So... I think it obvious that NO ONE would actually pay the inflated prices for CCs. CC most likely has 4 or 5 accounts and multiple proxies so that the mods don't notice them.

Moose is rambled at the fact that dubs is claim to have never spent more than $24 on a julysicle, which is clearly wrong. He spent $74 on a set and traded it for a julysicle, make the julysicle "bought" for $74 and making the statment "I've never paid more than $24 for a clack" a lie
Moose doesn't like liars

1600th, shout out to the_beast
The point they're trying to make that it feels like you're purposefully dodging is those keys you traded still had value even though you were bored with them. Enough so that you could trade them for a julysicle.
Or are you going to claim you can buy a replacement raindrop set for less than $24 now?
Well then, the money I spent on my Vader, I got my use out if it and I got it for free!

but still, as sane logic goes, i haven't bought a clack for more then $24, i didn't go to the classifieds and say "buying julysicles, name your price"

You guys have been going on about this for 2 pages now. Can you change the subject?
When I was very young, I was not the horror lover. So every time I watched a scary movie, I'd have nightmares. My story starts at school. I was in the 5th grade, an outcast from the other kids. Well, we were all in the girls bathroom and one girl started talking about Bloody Mary. She said, "If you turn all the lights out in a bathroom, lock the door. Light one candle and spin around three times looking into a mirror and say 'Bloody Mary' three times she'll show up behind you."
I was very doubtful of this but I thought I'd prove it wrong. Now as I said, I was a scaredy-cat as a child so I didn't do it the way she said. I had all the lights off but it was in the daytime and I was in my room, not the bathroom. I lit a candle (I stole my mother's lighter while she was napping) I looked in my vanity mirror and said 'Bloody Mary' three times while turning.
I had my eyes closed the entire time and when I opened them and looked into the mirror, there she stood behind me. She had obnoxiously long nappy black hair, sunken in eyes, painted red lips, she wore a white gown stained with blood and her skin also had traces of blood on it.
I began to panic. I turned around and nothing was there but when I turned back to the mirror she still stood there. Then she began to speak.

. Every time I passed by a mirror I could feel Bloody Mary watching me. I refused to look in a mirror. A month later I thought I was safe from her so I took the blanket off my mirror. I looked in it and I only saw myself, in my room, nothing more. I sighed in relief and went on my way. That night while I was sleeping I heard a bell ring. It didn't sound like any bell I had ever heard before. Then I heard her speak again. Her words still burn into my brain like an undying flame.
"Little children who sleep the night away
Shall be met with a terrible fate.
May blood stain their body and their bones break
This bell with ring out but none shall be saved."
I was deeply afraid. Much too afraid to open my eyes. But I couldn't fall back asleep. The next night the same thing happened. That horrible bell rang out again and her voice came to me again.
"Little girl who sleeps upon this bed
You've escaped death's hand but not again.
You'll be met with the same fate that I have met
Sweet nightmares, sweet girl you'll soon be dead."
I was really scared now. So much so I couldn't stand it. I shot open my eyes and my room was empty. I looked over at my mirror and there was blood stains on my mirror. I turned over to my window and tried to go back to sleep with no avail. The next day I went over to my grandmothers house for the day. I got on her computer to search up Bloody Mary. When I did I clicked on multiple websites and read origin stories. They were all horrible and different. I didn't want to die like this let alone at all. I was only 10 almost 11 for gods sake! My grandmother's computer started jumping around and it crashed but right before it did, Bloody Mary's face covered the screen. I backed away from the computer and had my grandpa try to fix it. He had to get a new computer entirely.
I was screwed. Very screwed. But who would I go to for help? They would think I'm crazy or just a silly child. The two friends I had wouldn't understand. They were goody goody teachers pets. I had no idea where to go next. I put a blanket over my mirror again hoping it would help. I never told anyone my experiences until now. Even today, 5 years after it all happened I can't look at myself in the mirror the same way. Never look at whats standing behind you in a mirror.

you really just pasted a full section of wikipedia here?
When I was very young, I was not the horror lover. So every time I watched a scary movie, I'd have nightmares. My story starts at school. I was in the 5th grade, an outcast from the other kids. Well, we were all in the girls bathroom and one girl started talking about Bloody Mary. She said, "If you turn all the lights out in a bathroom, lock the door. Light one candle and spin around three times looking into a mirror and say 'Bloody Mary' three times she'll show up behind you."
I was very doubtful of this but I thought I'd prove it wrong. Now as I said, I was a scaredy-cat as a child so I didn't do it the way she said. I had all the lights off but it was in the daytime and I was in my room, not the bathroom. I lit a candle (I stole my mother's lighter while she was napping) I looked in my vanity mirror and said 'Bloody Mary' three times while turning.
I had my eyes closed the entire time and when I opened them and looked into the mirror, there she stood behind me. She had obnoxiously long nappy black hair, sunken in eyes, painted red lips, she wore a white gown stained with blood and her skin also had traces of blood on it.
I began to panic. I turned around and nothing was there but when I turned back to the mirror she still stood there. Then she began to speak. I couldn't hear what she said because I began to hyperventilate. I fell to my knees and when I eventually got back up that night. There were bloody hand prints on my mirror. I immediately cleaned up it and threw a blanket over the mirror.

You're reading too much into this. When I said "Not everyone cares about clacks...." there are people who don't give a flying **** about clacks. I never said I was one of those people. I like them, but I'm not "super ****ing serious" about them enough to cry about them to people on the internet
Shut up *****es#****demiksays
As much as I want a clack I don't want to pay inflated prices on the classifieds. Not because of the cost but because the man himself seems to be making far less money off them than people selling them after the fact.
I've never paid anything more than retail either. But man, shipping costs sure can he outrageous...

I don't think people buy CCs in order to profit. The bubble is not caused by speculation. I think XD
I think we should provide an all our ban on Clacks.
All clacks should be sent to me to be humanly disposed of.

Illuminati everywhere! Clark circle is a splinter group of the Illuminati! They steadily raise the prices of clarks and keep them rare! The truth is, on the back of the declaration of independence is the first drawing of a clack :-X
They will hang me for revealing that! :eek:

It's not right that all Clacks are on that side of the pond. You'd better send half of them to me down here in Australia, to keep them safe, you know!
already too many clacks in US. More power to Europe.
