I don't have one. I haven't seen one reasonably priced for a few weeks and I think all of those are accurate being $100 or less. I tried a WTB for what I would consider fair at roughly 50-70 bucks but got attacked with threadcrap and assumed it must be substantially higher. Not like I was asking for transluscent or tri-colors.

I thought it would be fun to list everything you could buy/do instead of getting a Click Clack.

So yes, it is slightly daft. But it speaks volumes about what we would or have sacrificed to have one.

Contribute something to the conversation instead of picking apart the meaning of fun. I'm sure you've sacrificed something at one point or another down the line for a Click Clack or maybe just another Enthusiast Keycap.

people act too serious where clacks are involved.

Post by: Halverson on Sun, 13 October 2013, 20:17:56: I could probably get a chill bag for the price of a common clack these days. Or I could get drunk probably two times.

Alas those moments are fleeting, whereas clacks are forever! Be with me.....foreverrrr :D

Post by: Photoelectric on Sun, 13 October 2013, 20:31:26: Assuming $150-250, which is what I've been seeing lately. A full keyboard or two. A year's supply of paper bedding for my small pets. A lot of blended frozen yogurts (yum). Many cans of paint (oh wait...) Airbrush ventilation system of a large size. A nice soldering station + Hakko desoldering gun (one can dream). Savings for a tablet upgrade. I can think of a few more things! This is why I don't buy Clacks outside of entering for EK/CF sales.

A very practical individual. Just better buy some decent PC gear instead, lucky I'm no Click-Clack addict, embarrassing to look yourself in the mirror after paying $350.00USD+ for 1 clack.

How about , "Everything you could eat besides a grilled cheese sandwich but don't because it's not early as good?"

Last time I checked people do whatever they want with their money and should not feel ashamed about it. You should be ashamed by posting such a thing. Remeber that the next time you look in the mirror.

Why even respond to this guy? Every time something comes up that people think might be a bit too expensive, he pops in to slurp on the balls of the person selling it, saying that it's so worth it and no one else understands value, and then turns around and does the same thing to other items.

Really, this is sort of the same sort of situation that Bro Caps described with Thorpe. People feel they have to talk about this topic because the love for them by some is something they want to attack because they don't understand it and relate them to any other plastic cap.
