ive noticed once you hit step 3 that 4 and 5 no longer matter
As I have learned from the wise 3love and other elders, step 4 always matters, there's no such thing as too much. Step 5 is always optional and sometimes coincides with Step 2.

I tried skipping straight to step 4 but I still don't have any Bros and Clacks... Your tips are terrible.
That's because you're doing it wrong. The only step you're allowed to skip is 5.

I'll try harder to reach step two though, but if I achieve step two I'll either be too busy perpetuating it or negating it with hookers and cocaine and caps will be a distant memory.

An addendum to Step 3: Make sure to rePM someone over and over asking them to sell their private collections even after they tell you they aren't looking to sell. You must be aggressive, and no self respecting Clack owner will sell to the first person to ask because they are testing your tenacity and how badly you want the Clack, so no less than 3 PM should be sent.
What if I write a script that continually PM's them until they respond with a "yes"?

It can be tough, but with my patented 5 step process, it becomes dramatically simpler.
Here's a preview of Step 1:
Quote
Step 1:
Have a life crisis. This can be real or imagined, vague or specific, as long as it compels sympathy. When you start your sale, always emphasize that something is happening in your life. It could be you wrecked your motorcycle, need money for school because your parents disowned you, your special needs half niece you adopted when her mom was sent to prison and dad was killed needs money to help treat her terminal bovine cancer, and so on. The sadder and depressing it is or the more dramatic you can make the situation appear, the better.

Welcome. After I started this simple guide, my collection grew exponentially. Just look at what I have now.

Pro tip: watch Clack Valuation Thread like a vulture. Ha ha !
And always make sure to PM them asking to sell to you. Even if you heard other people saying they bought the cap from them, don't worry, things are always negotiable and no one ever scams people over Clacks.

(3) Find a 4–8 year old
(6) Give him or her several permanent markers of various colors and the keycap
...

It is where they learned to throw off the cares of others, maximize profit while stepping on those who helped them, attempt to maximize sympathy, while also seeking to score others are discount prices. It is threads like that that spurned threads like this (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50554.0) that sadly made it more difficult to maximize profit in here.

Ahh, yes. Perhaps my post was a bit naive. I posted the genesis of the Law School saga, but it only got more deep and more intricate from there.
Auctioning a cap you don't even own yet? YES. Let's do that!
Classifieds were certainly a much different place back then...

I don't want the cap as much as the people sending me offers for $250+ for it, so I'm giving them the opportunity to get one if the want it. Feel what you want but I swear my intentions are not for profits.
**** dawg, if you dont care about profits I suggest a giveaway. If you got it for retail price (like $20?) its not really a bigger loss than any of the caps Ive given away

I need step5You have Step 1-4?
You forget the addendum to Steps 1-4. If you decide you have to own all the Clacks and Bros you slowly flip steps one and two so it looks like this:
Step 1:
Don't be poor.
Step 2:
Be rich.
Step 3:
Offer lots of money for them in open, by PM, and on eBay. If you go the PM route, make sure to PM everyone who had ever posted pictures of them, but especially seconds after they post pics.
Step 4:
Own lots of Clacks and Bros.
Addendum:
If you decide you must own every Clack and/or Bro, Steps 1 and 2 will reverse themselves which, historically has led to the following steps:
Step 1:
Don't be rich
Step 2:
Be poor
Step 3:
Have a life crisis. The worse it sounds or more mysterious it is the better.
Step 4:
Auction off your collection or sell for a minimum of 2-3x what you paid for each.
Step 5:
Have lots of money.

Be rich.
Step 3:
Offer lots of money for them in open, by PM, and on eBay. If you go the PM route, make sure to PM everyone who had ever posted pictures of them, but especially seconds after they post pics.
Step 4:
Own lots of Clacks and Bros.
Addendum:
If you decide you must own every Clack and/or Bro, Steps 1 and 2 will reverse themselves which, historically has led to the following steps:
Step 1:
Don't be rich
Step 2:
Be poor
Step 3:

Step 4:
Auction off your collection or sell for a minimum of 2-3x what you paid for each.
Step 5:
Have lots of money.
