Title: Hi everyone! New MKB user reporting in :D
Post by: zennasyndroxx on Tue, 29 April 2014, 03:19:51
Recently got in to the MKB club. TKL club as well :D

i've questions regarding groupbuys:

for members which they don't have much reputation to organize a mass groupbuy here, why not we have a free escrow service or something? whereby the money will be given to a reputable member to hand in to manufacturer, keycaps sent to them as well and the designs and stuff is from the creator? just askin.

Hello and welcome to GeekHack!
Quite a question for a start. Every group buy orginiser firstly sets up an IC (interesting check) to see whether people are interested in his idea for a GB. They often or at least should go non-profit so the main idea for the buy (keycap color/material/profile/layout) is to get what they (the orginisers) want and after that what other people might want too. I doubt anyone is going to hold a GB if the person itself won't like the idea for it. That being said if you have a cool idea or something there are many IC that are open to them (suggestions). You can even also PM a member or talk on IRC about your idea and if it seems cool enough and people like it, there is a chance to become a GB someday you never know  :))

Good point there. interest check is always a must! And I believe no one organises groupbuy to make profits unless they're manufacturers itself. And everyone sees thing differently. Do you think that a groupbuy that I would like to organise would be successful if the design is okay and there's demand, and I pass it to reputable members to organise the groupbuy since they're reputable?

thanks again :D they're good. pretty solid. i wish they they could put their brand somewhere visible though. v2s don't have any brand logo visible. i like filco's branding below the tk or the arrow keys.
