I'm sure most people bought multiple cases to justify the shipping.

Post by: Pacifist on Sat, 19 October 2013, 21:03:10: Shopping cart was broken for me(there was still stock, this was 3 hrs ago)

But I don't have enough keys to justify buying one. I just keep the keys I don't use in a bag cause I'll probally never look at stock caps.

They're not just cardboard, they inserts are PVA which supposedly last forever. When you consider how much people pay for caps here its not much to protect your investment really.

Ugh yeah if I was buying them I'd order multiples too to save on shipping costs.

Post by: concept73 on Mon, 21 October 2013, 04:27:44: Well i see it to be selfish, if they are going to use all the boxes then fair enough, but you watch, keep an eye out on the classifieds and you will see some in a few days going for twice the ammount than originally sold.

It was very obvious these would sell out quickly and it was announced they were going to be up for sale and if they only had 50 boxes that is not very many considering the interest. No reason to go around name calling, there will be more coming soon.

Post by: Krogenar on Mon, 21 October 2013, 07:04:22: Hopefully they restock soon.

I got 2 boxes worth of $19,98 USD. Guess how much I paid for shipping? That's right $19,98 USD.
I would have bought more if I had the money. It just doesn't make sense buying something and paying twice the amount on shipping. And I didn't need any of the other things they sell on their website right now.

And so what if people finally get their boxes and then sell them in the classified section when they don't live up to their expectations for some reason?
These are not traded as easily as Clacks (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49795.0) for example. I guess you will be selling those for the price you paid for it? It's only fair.
