why pay such high price when The Man is doing daily sales which is also fun to play?

^this. Its sketchy that there are no photos of the back to prove authenticity (cf/fxe?). Plus, the seller's feekback score is questionable.

Pretty sure the username is a member here and while there are plenty of fakes more than likely these are legit. But it would be nice to see some decent bottom shots showing authenticity.

For most people that clack game is near impossible simply because they can't sit on the forum hitting F5 all day.

Personally wouldn't say fun to play, very painful to stare at the thread for hours and stressful when you are too slow. But I guess some people would find some excitement from it. I agree I wouldn't pay such a high price for a key cap though as I could never justify it.

Staring at the screen, no not fun at all. But I like going in the sale lotteries and the email at a certain time to win something even though there is little chance of winning because I am in Australia and mah subterranean cables letting me down.

Mind you I like gambling and its kinda like gambling. Yet if you lose you actually get to keep your money.

PS this is why I don't gamble

Perhaps fun may not be the right word for some people. I like that there's something to challenge and look forward to everyday. And if I failed, there's always another day. I guess I missed the rush of adrenaline when the Clackvent post came up and two days ago was particularly intense when he was also teasing us. That's awdsome and very exciting. It's not funny coming up third three times in a row though.

I hope so. The guy deserves to get a little off the insane Clack market.

These clacks are in NY and Clack is in CA, and you seriously underestimate some peoples collections!

Oh I didn't look at the listing. The ones from CA are definitely CC.

I remember someone from NY selling clacks on an alt account a few months ago. Don't remember his name though :))

Wouldn't surprise me if the CA account is CC, I've been watching the listings from that user and apart from the last batch a lot of the caps have been pretty rare. There was a green vader that I think might have been a one off as well, never seen another one again.

Yeah the name rings a bell for me too, Mindoculus or something like that. Possible I saw the name on Reddit as well I suppose.

I would like to obtain multiple KBKs (HipsterPunk's keycaps) via trade and I'm offering an MX CC.

KBKs usually go for around 10.00 - 20.00 per, sometimes less, if I'm not mistaken.

The CCs I'm looking to trade are extras of Revenge Red, Mint, or F2 Blue, and these go for around hundred per.

For the trade, I'm thinking ratios . . .. but I'm not sure what would be fair; 1:2, 1:3 . . .

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

More like 1:8 or higher. Enlighten me about these KBKs?

The ones out of Cali are not "definitely" CC. I would like to think it was CC that way he could make some money off of the crazy pricing we've seen but theres no evidence to support that other than the fact they were both from the same state (that has a population of 40 million people). There was a running theory at one point that the guy who sold the Senzunite, Green Vader, and some others was a personal friend of CC.

Well he is from the same city as CC and I don't really understand the "personal friend" story. If you made caps or something else and gave them to a friend of yours, do you think he would sell them on eBay for the highest price he could get? I sure hope none of my friends would do that. Clack posting them for sale on eBay also correlates with the new, higher prices he sells his caps for.

I guess you are right, there is no definite way to know it is CC, but it just seems like the most logical theory to me.

Just curious, has any member from GH make/possess a fake clack? I would think the member would have posted it on the member auction board or at least on reddit with his forum account for publicity+credentials. Not trying to start a debate, Im a newbie here after all, just a thought the bidders should have in mind before taking the risk.

I am curious why does the bottom of the cap look different from the originals? If these thieves where smart enough they would mould around a real clack and keep the logo the same and it would be harder to tell if it was fake or not.

Lol I would never bother doing this, my first design is going to be a spider's face. Already have it sketched out how I'm going to sculpt it. It's going to be a hobby for me to get stuck into instead of being stuck in my depressive state and other unhealthy habits.
