Title: Need Some $$$$ Making Ideas To Fleece All You Keyboard Geeks (NOT SERIOUS)
Post by: SpAmRaY on Tue, 13 January 2015, 07:27:22
This thread was a bit of satire/sarcasm thanks for participating.

So I'm here all the time and you all have so much money to spend on keyboard things I need some ideas so I can sell you things OR you can just send me money and we can go from there.

Seriously I'm about to go setup a website and everything but I need some donations first and a free logo and maybe free hosting and I really don't want to have to do any work.

Who's interested? Can I just copy someones idea and be done with it?

Go ahead throw money at me.  :-*  

If this offends you, good, because this is a community not just a marketplace. #dealwithit

You should cover them in baking soda and then vinegar, this will give the appearance of rabies and they will be able to earn more money through being, plus some government agents may come and take them for free too!

As a plus you can put the vinegar on your chips [See British for "French Fries"]   :thumb:

#youthinkimjoking

Someone did send me money so let me clarify this is what I like to refer to as sarcastic satire to spur a discussion on the current state of what I perceive as an influx of profiteers whether they intend to be or not.

No I'm not against people selling things, more power to you if you have a genuine original idea that you can make work and give someone what they want.

However do the leg work, be a part of the community and don't' just show up with your url and dump and run.

PS: thanks to my 2 early adopters, your rewards will materialize soon™

Then I'd eat that and my cereal and would still probably be hungry by 3.
Title: Re: Need Some $$$$ Making Ideas To Fleece All You Keyboard Geeks
Post by: munch on Tue, 13 January 2015, 12:07:07
maybe you should eat one half of the bagel, and have the other at 3. I think that is a good solution.
and a banana, cause those are good too

I just get tired of everyone who just appears to just show up to want to make bank. And you've got everyone and their brother wanting to make caps now because they can just throw up a form and sell them for $30 a pop even though they are often just a work in progress. That one guy just sold caps that didn't fit right promised replacements and hasn't been seen since.

It's a catch 22 we want to buy stuff we like things but I don't want to see people getting ripped off because they don't stop and think.

Your honesty is refreshing as always Ray.

All participation in the market (buyer or seller) entails some risk. The trouble is that people want maximum payout without any risk. I saw the guy who popped in just to show that he and his wife are making stuffs to sells to peoples. Who cares? I sure don't. Just ask him questions - get some closeups of those seams to see the stitching - let some brave soul buy one and report on the quality. My point is that the 'community' has a lot of resources to root out crap and sellers of crap.

My reaction to seeing all this economic activity is the opposite of yours -- I see people trying to make a buck of a growing hobby. No one tries to make a buck off a dying, shriveling hobby. So let them try to make a buck. If they're serious, they'll be serious about satisfying people with their products. If they aren't, they'll be gone.

Anyway, back to eating fetuses.

Excelsior!

Just ask him questions - get some closeups of those seams to see the stitching - let some brave soul buy one and report on the quality. My point is that the 'community' has a lot of resources to root out crap and sellers of crap.

My reaction to seeing all this economic activity is the opposite of yours -- I see people trying to make a buck of a growing hobby. No one tries to make a buck off a dying, shriveling hobby. So let them try to make a buck. If they're serious, they'll be serious about satisfying people with their products. If they aren't, they'll be gone.

Anyway, back to eating fetuses.

Excelsior!

*a lightning bolt strikes the ground and Krogenar is gone*

Well when you put it like that I guess we will just have to wait and see.

So I'm here all the time and you all have so much money to spend on keyboard things I need some ideas so I can sell you things OR you can just send me money and we can go from there.

Seriously I'm about to go setup a website and everything but I need some donations first and a free logo and maybe free hosting and I really don't want to have to do any work.

Who's interested? Can I just copy someones idea and be done with it?

Go ahead throw money at me.  :-*  

If this offends you, good, because this is a community not just a marketplace. #dealwithit

I'll give making you a free logo a go! What is it for and what sort of thing do you want?

Maybe the "Bags and wrist rests" people who just want an avenue to sell their stuff without putting any work into the community?

oh so you guys are talking about this dude?
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=67457.0

should have just called him out.

Well that's just one example.

who else?

no point in complaining if we dont know who you are complaining about.

btw i agree with him. 2 month rule is stupid.

I just get tired of everyone who just appears to just show up to want to make bank. And you've got everyone and their brother wanting to make caps now because they can just throw up a form and sell them for $30 a pop even though they are often just a work in progress. That one guy just sold caps that didn't fit right promised replacements and hasn't been seen since.

It's a catch 22 we want to buy stuff we like things but I don't want to see people getting ripped off because they don't stop and think.

well thats what happens when stuff gets popular. people want to make a quick buck and bounce. cant blame them. though part of the blame is on the idiots that buy anything and everything.

People really will buy anything - some of these new 'artisan' caps floating around look ****ing terrible. I get that some everyone has to start somewhere but looking at the prices you'd think you were buying a Bro Cap.

*snicker* Agreed. Maybe the buyers think they're getting in on the ground floor of the next BroBot?

Buyer: "I have a XXXX keycap back from 2014, back when the artisan was just getting started - which is why it looks terrible."

Perhaps in some cases but I think the majority of it is hype and honestly with some cap makers there are no good shots showing how bad the keys really are until you get them. I have no problems supporting someone who is genuinely interested in making caps but sometimes it is hard to tell who is just in it for the money grab.

This is true; it's hard to know people's intentions. And they probably are a mix of money/interest anyway.

I still think we should support them. I've bought some crappy caps that are now sitting in a drawer, but they were only a few bucks then and the guy is doing some cool stuff now.
