since when are small flat rate boxes $8.30?
-
Ouch. $30USD postage. Oh well. Counts me out. :-)

Since when do 2.5lb bags of keycaps fit in a small flat rate box? They're obviously not actually shipping in those.
-
The discussion here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=55040.0) is also relevant, for those who haven't seen it yet.

getting 20 bags to fill a bathtub for keycap diving

Then why describe the shipping method as that? Change it to medium....

picked up a bag, I cannot wait to play around with these ;D, 2.5lbs of keycaps has to be a ridiculous amount, fingers crossed they arent all spacebars

Pretty sure spacebars are more popular than a bunch of thin WoB caps

i hope its not all thin white on black, or else these crap bags will be lit on fire on my neighbors doorstep

Sorry bro, most of the times they are that and tons of POS SA caps. I have two bags from the last two runs....do I regret it though? Naw, one day I will use them for some creative purpose.
-
Haha bought one. Hopefully they're not all 'G' caps like last time.

Well they do come from "pimpmykeyboard" so it makes sense that the keycaps are straight G.
-
I know I'm going to hate myself for grabbing one, but screw it. It gives me more caps to experiment and play around with.
-
I guess we should expect a bunch of dsa dolch caps locks that aren't quite right :P
-
I'm hoping for some DSA modifiers. I got nearly enough 1x DSA keycaps, plus a space bar, to fit a TKL keyboard. All I need are modifiers ...
-
I'm just going to sit here and laugh at all the junk everyone gets. :p
-
It's a big pity; I'm too far away to take advantage of this offer without incurring ridiculous shipping.
I won't ask any American to proxy this for me. Too much trouble for that poor guy.
-
I got one, hopefully there will be some neat stuff :)
-
Bought one! impulse/gamble buy
Does anyone know how much they costed last time?

I think it was $35 and the shipipng rates seemed to be higher as well.

looking forward to the disappointment that was last years crap run

Wanna buy some? I've got a bunch in my crap bag from last time.

Thanks, fingers crossed for some great finds!

Might be, but I'll see what's in my crap bag this time first.
I am curious to try a complete DSA TKL layout, but not sufficiently curious to spend any real money on it :))

I've bought a crap bag anyway. Maybe it will have DSA modifiers in it :)

It's the thrill of going through a thousand caps and hoping to find a few gems :D

This is the only reason I'm getting a bag.

Couldnīt hold myself and ordered a bag yesterday and shipping to Sweden was not cheap...I line up with the ones before me saying "Itīs the thrill of it!" :thumb:
-
ill post pics of any DSA mods/ interesting caps people are after if im lucky enough to get any, and send them to you for just shipping. Im only after thick caps and interesting stems since i will be destroying most of these.
-
WTF is with those shipping prices?
-
So approximately how many key caps are in 2.5 pounds? A couple hundred?

Crap bags in the past have had around 1000 keycaps.
This time is slightly more, apparently.

So is there any chance to get any good keys in these things? I feel like if I got even just a couple double shot keys or something it would be worthwhile.
With that many keys you'd think there would be something.

"Good keys" means different things to different people.
A couple of double-shots :)) Like about 800 of them?
Have a look here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46475.0) for some indication of what people got in the last crap bag.
-
Wow, dead already? That's annoying.
-
I would be curious to know how many they sold and the general geographic regions they go to :D

It would be cool with a world map in the OP of a new thread with clickable dots for all buyers and their locations. When clicking the dot you should be directed to the post where this user has one, and only one url / pic of their grab.
Then it would be easier to trade caps with people nearby and maybe get yourself a mighty fine looking keyboard / vomit creation. ;)

If anyone bought on of these Grab Bags, and they find Alps caps, please let me know? Maybe we can do a sale/trade? I need more novelties for my Zero and future Alps boards. Last year I got this hilarious cap that said "yellow" but the cap was teal. :D

LOL I want caps like that.
If I get any alps, I will just send them to you. I might keep a couple, but you can have most :thumb:

That would be lovely. I'm sure I can find some goodies to reciprocate ^__^. And I'll have to post pictures of some of the novelties I have in Alps form. The coolest one is an Orange on Black GH cap that SmallFry traded me :D.

Are they all gone? I was actually going to buy a bag this time, but the link is dead. :(

Nothing in particular, was just hoping to replenish my dwindling collection of caps.

Guess I ordered 2 by mistake :-\
I was wondering why shipping was so crazy. Still crazy. Just a little less crazy.

5lbs of keys :D

Good luck Noisy ;D
I decided not to get one this time around, though I promised myself I would last summer. $60 shipped is a bit steep for me right now.
I hope everyone who gave in finds amazing stuff in theirs!

Link is working again, just ordered a bag.

I was wondering if it was temporarily down since they sent out a couple emails advertising them again today, although oddly enough the emails have no links to the website....

Well I sent them an email asking if they were sold out, then two minutes later the link was back up.
And I got a response to my email as I was typing this post. Good job SP, very pleased with your quick fix/response.
-
Got a bag. I will split with a friend. Hopefully, there's some nice caps in there! GLTA!
-
Just grabbed two. Because ... redundancy. Should provide ample disection subjects.

Ironically my order confirmation and shipping information emails came interspersed between the crap bag announcement emails :))

Oh god, I just got one. My first purchase since joining GeekHack, and it's 2.5lbs of random KeyCaps. I need to delete my account....

Some of my best purchases on GH were impulse buys and some of my worst ones were thought out over a period of months. Don't worry about it.

You could get lucky and find yourself with a keycap that you cannot get by any normal affordable means.

What did you do to yours? Eat them or something? From my experience, keycaps only increase in population; any decreases are very, very temporarily.
-
Did anybody get anything decent in theirs?
I got a dope key and a lotus and not much else terrific.
