Title: [LF] A plea to GH for an MX Clack at cost
Post by: noisyturtle on Wed, 06 November 2013, 18:29:42
A whim, a plea, a tale of misfortune. Call it what you will, but I assure you this nothing short of heartbreaking, bordering on the ludicrous and frankly at this point, laughable.

As many of you know my Clack luck is bad to say the least. Perhaps the worst on the entirety of Geekhack, unless one of you can challenge my standing record of despair. I have, and this is in no way an embellishment, lost out on 14, yes 14, Clack sales in the past two years. This combines both EK and 4Grab sales, the most current of which having been the 420 4grabs, the Nightowl(nigh towel?) EK sale, and the just passed Gummyrot EK sale. Save for my very first Clack(mint green) which CC himself was kind enough to dibs me with shortly after joining, I have never paid less than $100 for a clack. These prices are not uncommon in the aftermarket, but I seem to be unlucky there as well having only accumulated 3 skull buddies in that manner.

On top of all this, there's only a short list of clacks I actively search for (milk blue, limoncello, teal, gum purp) and these as many of you know full well are exceedingly rare and my trade thread is quickly approaching it's one year anniversary. Depressing for a myriad of other reasons.

Anywhoo, I'm putting myself out there. I'm making a plea to restore my faith in this bleak and dispiriting quest. I know this community has it's share of poopyheads, but it also has it's share of bighearted and kind individuals and I'm hoping upon hope one of the latter sees this and understands the distress these wonderful little plastic pieces of art can wreak upon a mans soul. I'm looking for a simple gesture of kindness, an extended hand of understanding, someone to be my restorer of faith in this ongoing duration of blind disadvantage.

In case my story of woe made you sad, here is something that's sure to make you smile. Don't want anyone walking away with a frown :)

Being on dibs once (lucky enough) and having 2 others that you paid for (your choice) is having more than many others.

I hope you find your clack at cost. Best of luck.

Because they are all beautiful, those are just the ones I'm actively seeking because I adore the colors. A HO or equivalent would be just as lovely if only for the sentiment and meaning.

I feel that's a bit unfair simply due to the sheer amount of work I have put in over the past 2 years. Taking days off work/missing classes/staying up late and suffering the next day, all for nothing. Even so it's a valid point, I figured I would try seeing as there's no harm and frankly I expected nothing to come from this aside from a conversation with other members.

It's not about begging, I'm stepping up cause this is someone who is active  in the community, and who I know actually wants to own this, I'm sending this to him knowing that I won't see this turn up in an auction thread before he even gets it, or ever

As a relative newcomer, I started reading your post with the bitterness of someone who also missed out on the Gummyrot draw. But I recognize the sincerity of your plea, and appreciate seeing that the Old Guard of this community looks out for its own. This gives me hope for my own hunt.

Thanks for restoring some faith in the humanity of this place. :)

The current clack after market and nature of acquiring clacks is why I am tossing up my hands and giving up on them essentially. I don't need an unhealthy obsession with anything in my life so unless something changes or the culture shifts I will take what luck gives with a  smile and shrug off everything else.

Same here, but instead of giving up on clacks, I'm giving up on GH.

I've met some amazing people here, but GH has become just a selling forums where others take advantage of each other with lessening sense of community or being straight up *******s. I'll just be here to lurk and sell stuff since that's what GH has become to me.

Good night sweet price!

That really sucks, you've been a champion of this community for so long it's going to seem just a bit more empty without you popping into threads :(
I get what you're saying though, a lot has changed recently with the influx of new blood, but it's up to members like you to help set that GH vibe, and eventually people will fall into their places. At lest I hope so. Plus there are plenty of new members who are already making lovely contributions to the community, just gotta give it some time and faith.

Watch this video and swap "I ate your candy" with "I stole your clack" or "you didn't win a clack" and have a good chuckle.

On one hand, I am happy that you might be getting a clack of your choice now.(isn't getting 1 already more than enough?)


on the other hand, I worry that this might have started something. I would hope not to login tomorrow and see many threads begging for clacks.

(i'm a culprit of clack begging myself, but since I've won one this time, I think it's good enough for me.)

ggwp!

Have I started a new tread at GH? A trend where Clacks can be obtained for reasonable prices, just by asking for them?

Wonder if it'll catch on...

Its no trend. And its not something you started. Its been done before. The problem is in the end you're not getting one you really appreciate when its just a random one. You're going to have it for a bit and then realize you don't want this one, you wanted that one. Now what? You have a clack you don't want, but what do you do with it? You can't sell it or trade it without looking like a ****. Is it just for the sake of getting one at cost, regardless of what it is or whether you like it? I just don't see the reasoning in that.

in this specific case i gave the op some options, and he is getting one he really wants

this was someone who has always been nice to me, and his reasoning and situation was very specific to me and i wanted to hook him up, this wasnt just a random post i responded to, he in turn forcfully has bought me a bottle of scotch, i denied it twice but wasnt gonna insult the man by denying his request a third time

i think this sorta post is really only gonna work for genuine people who are active or invested in the community, if any of the people i consider friends had posted this, i woulda hooked them up, i have gone out of my way on numerous occasions behind closed doors to get people the clack they wanted

I do agree with you on some points, Bunny. But the topic is "any ol' clack, just so long as I'm not spending hundreds on it..." If it hadn't been you who did this for him and some other person, he'd have ended up with a HO or a 3D or POSSIBLY a Mint Gum. Would he have been satisfied with that clack in particular? For a lot of people, I doubt it. Maybe its just the thrill of not paying a lot?

But let's be real: no one is going to give someone an OG Tricolor in a situation like this. I'm just curious as to why its such a big deal to try to get one, ANY ONE, at cost...

I don't see why he won't be happy with it. For instance i LOVE the brobot caps and sadly i know that i will never be able to afford any of them, but still if (theoretically) someday i get any color BB i will ****ing love it no matter what. Maybe it is just me but in this case i really don't see why anybody wont like something he is trying to get so hard.

i cant speak for the OP, but i can speak from personal experience, but the clacks the were given to me by people, ahem moose, are the ones i like the most

i had to let some of my collection go when my wife lost her job a while ago, but the ones that will never leave me either i was given, or someone was kind enough to give me them at cost, im not gonna go into what i think is right or wrong for the community with all these auctions and sales thread right now, but i personally wouldnt feel comfortable profiting from someone elses generosity, i also understand im more sentimental than most and rules i apply to myself i shouldnt apply to others

there have been several cases where i have given a clack of my own, or bought someone a clack i know they wanted, only to see it turn up in the classifieds shortly after, im confident that wont be the case this time, and these people dont put me off hooking up other people, they just put me off the person i helped

Not sure if this is troll or not but i feel that it is super mega inappropriate to say that moose is doing what he is doing just to be center of attention. As far as i know this guys he is just as awesome as Bunny and i truly believe that he is saying all this stuff just because this is a concern to him and he is just wanting answers. So as Bunny said without the ppl that he mentioned this community wouldn't be even close to what it is right now. Just my 2 cents here.

It actually sounds like what I meant, but you're obviously too daft to understand. This is what I'm saying, example:

Linkbane really wants an Oktoberfest. He knows what he wants. He doesn't want to spend so much on one. Either he can't or he won't. His choice, and I don't care about that. But he has a desire to own one in particular.

This type of scenario (and I never even meant to point fingers in any manner; just the situation) says give me any one, I don't care. I just don't want to spend more than cost. Now, I understand people not wanting to spend more than cost. ****, who wants to spend money on something they can get for free or very cheap?

But any random one? This is what I don't understand. That's all.

I wanted to give you guys a brief glimpse of my curiosity. I don't care about the answer anymore, so don't feel like you even need to respond.

to be fair i kinda see the angle moose is talking about
turtle originally just asked for any CC, he specified he would like one of his dream CC, but he'd take any CC.

I dunno, it just seems a bit meh to me to be begging for any CC to be sold to him cheap.
Like "i want this, but i'll settle for wahtever you're willing to give me for cheap"

What if it was the KMiller melted mint gum?  Technically a CC but you know, melted lol
Or if it was say like moose example a MX Hack Orange?
From the way people post, the Hack Orange is prob one of the least desirable CC's on the market, even less than Factory seconds
personally i liked my H.O., but i traded it for something i really wanted, an Oktoberfest
Does Turtle have an obligation to keep the CC because he got it with his story?  Is he never allowed to sell it even at cost?

I dunno, posts like these sometimes makes me worry they set a precedent, just look at a few months back with all the sob stories selling threads.

I'm going to answer you, because I see why he would do it. And if you get mad about it, then we can go fisticuffs when we next meet.

It's my opinion that someone would ask for any ol' Clack at cost because: a) they like Clacks, and of course have preferences, but really just want to have one, ANY one; and b) they refuse to pay more than retail because they refuse to perpetuate the profiteering from inflation that is currently the norm.

So, there you go, bro. :D

Done, sir. You would never ask for its return, but I'm doing it anyway. It will travel the ocean back to its rightful place on the Isle of Angles, along with that other thing I'm sending you.

i wasnt asking sir, and i typed my post before you put yours, it wasnt in response to you, i just realised how it looked after i typed it

and it looks to good in your cluster on the orange lz and i dont wanna break that up, another one will be easy to find when i put my mind to it

Oh, I know it wasn't directed at me. I just didn't know you needed one. I don't really understand why people frown at the Hack Orange Clack, it's also one of my favorites!!

the orange looks good on nearly any board. black, white, grey... everywhere. :D Some people don't like it cause it is not ultra rare and for them maybe not so desirable.

I do agree with you on some points, Bunny. But the topic is "any ol' clack, just so long as I'm not spending hundreds on it..." If it hadn't been you who did this for him and some other person, he'd have ended up with a HO or a 3D or POSSIBLY a Mint Gum. Would he have been satisfied with that clack in particular? For a lot of people, I doubt it. Maybe its just the thrill of not paying a lot?

But let's be real: no one is going to give someone an OG Tricolor in a situation like this. I'm just curious as to why its such a big deal to try to get one, ANY ONE, at cost...

i cant speak for the OP, but i can speak from personal experience, but the clacks the were given to me by people, ahem moose, are the ones i like the most

i had to let some of my collection go when my wife lost her job a while ago, but the ones that will never leave me either i was given, or someone was kind enough to give me them at cost, im not gonna go into what i think is right or wrong for the community with all these auctions and sales thread right now, but i personally wouldnt feel comfortable profiting from someone elses generosity, i also understand im more sentimental than most and rules i apply to myself i shouldnt apply to others

there have been several cases where i have given a clack of my own, or bought someone a clack i know they wanted, only to see it turn up in the classifieds shortly after, im confident that wont be the case this time, and these people dont put me off hooking up other people, they just put me off the person i helped

I will never sell my Brobot my wife got me through Bunny, if I leave the keyboard scene I will give it to a deserving person or back to Bunny.

I absolutely love the color, it just doesn't go with my keyboard aesthetics.  So I got rid of mine because I'd rather a Clack be in the hands of someone who loves it and puts it to use instead of me admiring it on a shelf.

As someone who was just getting into the community and was feeling excited to be here, seeing all these fights break out over CC's is really, really turning me off from this place. And all from an EK drawing? I won my very first Clack in this drawing, and I went from being genuinely excited to feeling dirty about it. Really petty stuff, guys....

The people who win and are genuinely excited to own something cool like that should never feel dirty, yourself included.  Own that Clack and enjoy the artistry of it.  The only people who should feel dirty are those profiteering off of them.  They're like patent trolls, people who add nothing to the community, emphasis on the word community, and only cause bad blood and fights.

Instead, look at the good that's happening in this thread.  That's the GH I know and love.  Check out the awesomeness in the making stuff together threads where you see people getting excited to learn and help in so many awesome projects.  There's a lot of good here, there's just moments of absurdity and animosity toward people who obviously don't care about the community here.

seems an odd attitude and stance to take sir, you actually got one, be happy dont complain, and if you are bothered by the arguments etc, just dont look in the clack threads in the classifieds and it wont affect you

to clarify that comment some more, im not saying whats going on is ok, but i clearly read that post above different to everyone else

Thanks, I'll try and just stay away from the Classifieds. Appreciate your insight - and yeah, I'd love to make my keyboard at some point!

Sorry if it sounded like I was complaining about the Clack -- not my intention at all. Just wanted to express my dismay at what I saw happen to so many threads over the last few days (maybe this is normal here, but I'm new!). Dirty is probably the wrong word. Just reading alot of these posts made me feel gross about the whole thing.

And I definitely don't include you in any of this, bunny. In my lurking and participating in your groupbuys, you've been nothing but a class act  :thumb:

But let's be real: no one is going to give someone an OG Tricolor in a situation like this. I'm just curious as to why its such a big deal to try to get one, ANY ONE, at cost...

I'm just curious as to why its such a big deal to try to get one, ANY ONE, at cost...

I'm one of such people, and the reasons are:
Why a CC SKULL? CC skulls are wonderful artworks and look great, I'd like to own many, but I can't since I don't have the kind of money that they go for on the market, thus now I never check the CC Skull sales.

Why ONLY ONE? So, yes I'd like to own one at cost if possible, as I don't expect too many people to sell one at cost given the situation of the market.

Why ANY ONE? As the saying goes beggars can't be choosers. Getting and asking for a CC skull at cost is almost like begging on these forums, so yes, I don't think such a person is in a position of liberty to choose the skull they want at cost.

BUTTHURT much? Yes, I am and I would be lying if I said I wasn't, but most things in life aren't fair and somethings do hurt us and we have to deal with it. I deal with it by ignoring it, since there is nothing I can do about it, except hope someone, somewhere out of generosity would be willing to sell me a CC skull at cost.

I try not to be a hypocrite, and have thus sold one CC silently at cost before and I am selling gas masks too at a very marginal markup, which includes shipping to me, shipping from me, PP fees in between.

I have had my own classified WTB for any skull at cost for a while (For the curious ones)

Oh man just got back from work and saw this. When it rains it pours, just a beacon of hope for you folks who are in that empty sinking boat of despair. Really I don't know what to even type right now, literally speechless (fingerless?) at the generosity of this community. See people, this is what GH is about and with all the jimmie rustling that's been going on lately maybe some of you will change your perspective. This is a good community full of good peeps who are always willing to extend a helping hand when another is down. Ebb and flow. I did PM you back in Aug just asking if I'd been blacklisted from sales, which at that point seemed a fair question, and you mentioned perhaps you could work something out. But your super busy I know, and I didn't want to bug you about it considering you probably get dozens of PMs a day.

Really nice thread noisyturtle, looks like the man himself is gonna sort you out. I think many can definitely sympathise with your plight. I've entered quite a few myself and I'm still looking for my first clack at even somewhere near retail. Will give 1 a good home if anyone is looking to sell to someone who isn't just gonna try and flip it for a profit.
