Bunny Lake had a one day sale yesterday and the Rain Drop set was there .. it was snapped up though. You probably have to watch classifieds, bro.

Gonna have to keep an eye on the classified and be very quick. I've seen 2 come up in the last month, BunnyLake's sale and the Mega Sale thread. Both were gone before I even found the threads. Raindrop is a very popular set (so is Klaxon apparantly!)

How do people find buying used? Aren't the caps scratched or dirty or something? And it's not like it's cheap, normally buying used caps like Raindrops are at a higher price.

Usually not.  Most GHers keep them in good condition and disclose shine/discoloring in the description.

There isn't any other choice when buying these.

Unless they have had heavy use and thus are shiny (ABS), I have had no problems with used keycaps.

There is a thread around about whether to wash them after receiving them.  Some sellers will wash before shipping, or you can soak them in denture tabs yourself.

That is true. Beggars can't be choosers. I have also just spent $100 to get R4 TKL set off someone from DT. Very excited and I hope it is in good condition as well.

If you're willing to wait a little longer, it seems like Bunny is planning a round 2 with cherry legends

Wow, what great news! Now I have to decide whether to get Penumbra (I recently became a fan of the Solarized theme or that... or both I suppose.
