I am currently painting zombie keycaps and will be staying up late in an attempt to finish them before the sale. I will upload pictures once they are ready.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Those all look so awesome! (You made the best ones in BS xD) The arachnocaps don't glow though, huh?
I did the ArachnoCaps first and didn't think of the GID until after they were done. I'll be sure to include it for next years batch.

Can I ask, have these been tested for wear by anyone? I know OP has been selling these painted caps for awhile, so I wonder if anyone has an idea. These are actually fairly neat, and it's nice to see some BS and T love.
I've tested them myself with a spacebar and WASD cluster.
The WASD cluster has been taking abuse for 6 months now and I haven't been able to wear through the Lacquer I use as a protective coating.
The spacebar has worn through where the thumb rests right on the edge. This is a work keyboard though so it sees A LOT of use and this didn't start happening until after 6 months of use. (http://i.imgur.com/7ap40SE.jpg)
I'm still looking for the best clear, spray on protection but lacquer is the best I've found so far.

So that's what you were testing with that special keycap from your last sale ;P
Interested in grabbing a few for halloween =O

Your countdown is counting down to 12pm tomorrow in my local time zone (eastern). You might want to specify the zone on it or just remove it so people don't get confused.
That's odd....it should be showing Mountain Standard Time.

Can we post multiple numbers in order of preference?
Or limit to 2 numbers called out per person?
Just 2 per person. If they don't all sell within the first day I'll allow people to request more.

I meant more that someone can post 3,4,5,6 but the person right before him calls 3, so that someone would get 4,5 but not 6

I've got mixed opinions on this method. Mainly because what's stopping someone from just putting 1 through 15 in an attempt to just get one.
What does everybody else think?

If you allow it, people will do it. But there are also people who will only put three or four down. I know I was contemplating that, but then I saw you weren't allowing it. It's your sale, your rules. Fastest person wins. Also, there is a small window where people can edit. Perhaps you might consider an email sale, a la click clack? No editing, allow people to list all they want, in order of desire, you start from the first received and work your way down.
i never win at these.........
can't always be at a computer at the right time
i have a life outside of GH believe it or not, but the seller has within their right to make the rules as they please :thumb:

I have some hypno Fn topre keys, no wear at all. He clear coats and seals them, mine from about 7 months ago still look brand new

That's not a bad idea. I'll take some of this into consideration and update the OP tonight after my son goes to bed.

What does having a life have to do with anything? Do you imply I don't have a life outside of this site? Because I can promise you, I've missed more than my fair share of sales on this site due to life constraints. That's how **** works sometimes though.
please.........don't read into something that is not there

For now please only post two at a time and not a list. If the ones you ask for get taken you may have time to post a separate two.
After this Halloween batch is finished I will be starting up my Batches again....after I finish Batch 7 of course.
I'm glad everyone's keycaps are standing the test of time. I coat the HOLY crap out of them to make sure they don't wear off. That's why I use a painted WASD cluster. I want to know before anyone else when the clear coat wears off.
Post by: GL1TCH3D on Tue, 21 October 2014, 23:51:19
I like the email idea but I feel it is to soon to change the rules now.

I probably shouldn't be advertising your caps more right before your next sale as that hurts my chances xD
Anyway, here's the one I bought from the last sale:

Can I list two in order of preference, even if I only want to buy one? Or can I only list my single most wanted cap?
Don't have the money to buy two right now or I would. ;D

That is fine with me. If you happen to get both keycaps I can just award the second one to the next person that asked for it.

Number 20 hasn't been released yet. I'll be doing the zombie release different though.
It will be a lot like the Clacks that go on sale on EK's website. There will be a drawing for the keycaps rather than everyone having to be on at a specific time and place. That way people who are still interested but busy with work or school have a chance at getting one.
Post by: do_Og@n on Thu, 23 October 2014, 12:22:17
Lol I meant 15 but it's been taking. It's been a long morning ;DI'll take 4 then!I didn't notice it was alps
I lied I'll take 9 if its available
4, 9, and 14 are all ALPS keycaps. Are you still interested.
