Title: [IC] Signature Plastics Spacebars - White & Black in 6.25x/7x
Post by: bueller on Sun, 22 September 2013, 09:48:57
I need a 6.25x in both colors to go with my Cherry sets and it occurred to me that there's probably quite a few others in similar positions. Obviously because of my location I'm not the best to handle shipping but I've had several people offer to handle that side of things if I handle the ordering process.

I think the best way to do this would be to just offer one pack with all 4 spacebars in it (both colors, both sizes), that way we will hit higher order quantities and obviously lower prices. Tempted to add Dolch as well but we'll see what pricing is like first.

EDIT: I'm feeling motivated so I've already sent SP an email asking for pricing tiers on a the 4 pack, will update as soon as I know how much this is likely to cost.

Space bars are always handy to have around!

Always good to have spacebars.  Also other common colors from GBs could be good, like CreamCheese, Klaxon, Raindrop, etc.

Not seeing a lot of interest in here but here are the prices anyway! Quite surprised really, once you hit the 100 mark the price gets pretty decent.

25 packs                  $14.03 each
50 packs                  $9.96 each
75 packs                  $8.56 each
100 packs               $7.86 each
150 packs               $7.16 each
200 packs               $6.80 each
250 packs               $6.60 each

I can probably do other colors as well but I think I'll keep them separate from the pack to keep the price down. Here are the price tiers for individual colors in each size. It should be noted that each color and size has it's own MOQ so we can't just order 50 different colors and expect to hit that tier.

6.2 Universal DCS Spacebar
25 pcs                  $3.65 each
50 pcs                  $2.56 each
75 pcs                  $2.20 each
100 pcs                  $2.02 each
150 pcs                  $1.84 each
200 pcs                  $1.75 each
250 pcs                  $1.70 each
 
7 Universal DCS Spacebar
25 pcs                  $3.44 each
50 pcs                  $2.42 each
75 pcs                  $2.08 each
100 pcs                  $1.91 each
150 pcs                  $1.74 each
200 pcs                  $1.65 each
250 pcs                  $1.60 each

I'd consider one in each size and color depending on the tier reached.

Not bad - I might grab a couple.  Can't hurt to have a few extras lying around, for when the shine on the old ones gets too bad.

I'd be interested in one of each.

Edit: I can't read :/

Actually, just to be clear, I'd be interested in a couple of white and a couple of black (or maybe not black, Tai Hao is on the way ...) of the 6.25x space bars.

No worries guys, I'm actually thinking its just a better idea to let people order what they want rather than selling packs and then we'll see where the MOQ's fall after a couple of weeks.

Those Tai Hao are OEM profile right?

I would definitely like a couple if they are Cherry profile.

Bueller, i think more people like cherry profile. If you can, you should run space bar cherry profile on next GB. More & more people is very interested that. :D

Would the white ones be real white or matching a Cherry beige/grey set?

That's exactly what I was thinking first, when I read the thread title.

If the "white" doesn't match these sets, it's of no use for me :D

(http://deskthority.net/w/images/4/4a/Cherry_3000_front.jpg)

If it matches those vintage sets I'd be in for at least 3 spacebars.

On the other hand getting it done in Cherry Profile by GMK would be even better. I know the MOQ of 400 seems unreachable, but I guess if GMK did it, people would order more than one. I'd order 10 spacebars so technically we'd probably only need ~100 interested people to reach 400 spacebars...

I could be wrong but aren't those keys just a bit discoloured with age? My set looked like that until I retro brighted it. Maybe I'll need to order a color swatch from SP and check before hand.

I guess these are aged/yellowed a bit, but I don't think they were pure white originally.

People always refer to this color as "Cherry beige" and not "Cherry white". For example the white Klaxon spacebar is way brighter than those cherry sets. They don't match and it really looks off...

Fair enough. Might look into colour matching with SP otherwise we may have to go with GMK.
