Title: Free Heart Keycap?
Post by: Merloobi on Tue, 01 April 2014, 20:11:46
I'm not exactly sure what this is supposed to be. It's part of Tanga's April Fools day theme, but it seems to indicate a free heart keycap, no shipping costs.

I ordered one, fingers crossed  :)

I think it's legit, but I can't be certain till the key arrives.

Nothing in the description or details says anything about a key cap. I'm thinking it's just a stock photo, and you guys ordered some for free "love" to be sent your way. I hope I'm wrong though!

they're paying for shipping, doesn't seem like that profitable of a prank

If it's a prank, nothing physical will be shipped at all because you can't package "love."

It seemed like he was trying to make sure that he could actually use it before he just grabbed it because it was free -- seems the opposite of greedy to me. :P

In any case, sold out now. :(

All I got was a lot of spam email lol.  Looking back at it, no where on that site does it say it's a key cap.  It's just a picture of a key cap.  Misleading.

Charge them by the seconds it took to fill out the form!

At $7.25/hour for minimum wage, each second is worth $0.0020138888. I'll give it about 4 seconds to load the webpage, 5 seconds to skim it, 10 seconds to decide if this was legit, and another 20 seconds to fill out the form and wait for that page to load. We're talking a solid $0.07854166666 here.

And then another minute to type up this post, and then another few minutes to browse through this thread...

I feel very cheated  :mad:
