Any chance I could get Eight 2.0x unit stabilizers? I have no need for spacebar stabilizers.

UPDATE
Doh! I must apologize. In the excitement I didn't notice the details. I need plate mount stabilizers. Your offer is very kind, but sadly I must bow out.

I don't really want to complicate things with this buy.
I'm actually thinking of removing the TKL option and just taking orders for full sets (just a $3 price difference). I think it would make it easier for us and everyone else if we can get to the 100 MOQ bulk price drop so we can order more extras.
I'm not sure how many people are interested in each at this point, so we'll see.

For your situation, just buy the full set, and I can send you an extra 2.0x unit wire.
I have a couple extras with me, so just leave it in the comment section of your order.

I've already ordered, just curious.

Are these screw in or snap in?

Are these genuine Cherry not Chinese knockoffs?

Sorry, probably won't be adding plate-mounted stabs into this buy.

I have emailed you back my reasoning, hope you understand!

These should be snap in stabilizers.

I have confirmed with Hojin that they are genuine Cherry, as he stated Cherry as their supplier for the 2x unit stabs. 

edit: Currently looking into possibilities of adding extra 2x unit stabilizers.

Noobie question here.  Would these work for the Orion V2 since Orion is plate mounted and these are PCB mounted?

The Orion is a Korean custom. Most, if not all, use PCB mounted stabs even though there are plates.

For my part (International orders) : Choose one or the other, it makes no difference.

But maybe ceflame has a different opinion on this so you'll have to wait for his answer :)

AS Lpwl said, there are now extra 2x unit stabilizers to add-on to order.

If you ordered from me, just PM me to add-on, and I'll put it in manually.

As Ceflame indicated, the quantity needed for the price break is 100 sets - so don't be shy, keep them coming !

At least 10 sets must be ordered to let us break even from proxying this GB.

I'm pretty sure we can do better than this, don't you think ?  :p

The wires are bent at the ends but some have two bends along the long part which these won't have :)

Ah I see now, but why are some bent like that in the middle, what's the utility in that?

Also, I'm wondering whether to pull the trigger on these to be set in the future when I'll build a Kustom, however what's the advantage of buying in this gb as opposed to from gon for example?

I am not too sure about the middle bent stabilizers, so hopefully someone else  can step in for that..

I put up this GB for people's convenience. Try adding a set of a stabilizers to your cart on GON's website. The flat shipping from GON is $25.60, so unless you have a larger order already, it is quite expensive to order just stabilizers alone.

Interested to know if these are different in anyway to what GON has to offer on his website?

Not trying to take away from the GB and honestly want to know if there is a difference, because i think it is cheaper to buy from him if you are getting more then 1 Set. The biggest question with GON is his postage and it may in fact turn out cheaper here for some. But for me it does infact seem cheaper once i get 2 TKL sets.

Shipping may be reasonable to Australia. I know for us in Murcia it costs more than $30-40 USD to have something shipped from GON.

Have you actually checked for stabs? i know i bought a plate of him and postage was considerably more expensive then it is for stabs. i know it may be still expensive, but i am honestly interested to know. As the difference for a 60% plate to a Bulk bundle of stabs was at least $20 for me, i would have to go back to my invoice to double check.

Ahh, that is probably where i went wrong. I assumed i was logged in, but at work it's wasn't setup.

Yeah it pops up a fair bit after. Still a bulk pack of 2u stabs (50) comes out $60usd shipped for me. Which is still cheaper then this buy. If your looking at buying bulk in anyway his website is still potentially cheaper.

 I think the initial shipping price point is not ideal for anyone. But when you get a few items in the cart as you have shown it is more then reasonable. I know that i was planning on stocking up and i think GON will end up being cheaper for me and i think it is a valid option if people are buying more then a couple of sets of anything. As you save more on the stabs then the increase in shipping costs vs the GB.
Title: Re: [GB] PCB Mounted Cherry Stabilizers (taking orders)
Post by: awhitedev on Sun, 26 April 2015, 19:54:10
Mine is still $25.60 shipping for X number of stab sets.

Definitely, if you're going to buy bulk numbers by yourself, it is cheaper to get it yourself.

Like I've stated before, it is more convenient for those who want just 1 or a couple sets, since it is cheaper to have them proxied over rather than everyone having to order directly from a korean source.

I must have missed that post regarding bulk buying being cheaper and just wanted to highlight for people who were in a similar situation to me.

If anyone is interested the break point when using GON becomes cheaper is when i am roughly spending $60 - $65 (including shipping)

Bulk ordering yourself is cheaper for yourself, which is pretty much the reason I started this, because for people just wanting a couple sets can get it cheaper through this buy.

I understand that we're not strictly talking about GON's reliability, but the quantity purchased make it more worthwhile to order for yourself, but here's what I have to say for those thinking of ordering from GON.

I was initially going to do this proxy ordering bulk from GON, but a couple of reasons compelled me to go with Hojin.Yi from Winkeyless instead.
Please take my words with a grain of salt. These are my PERSONAL experiences. I have placed two orders with GON, both have had some problems, but in the end he has delivered, just not in an expected timely manner.

edit: Honestly, I do not want to downplay GON's services. This post is also sort of off-topic for this thread, but I felt I had to say something.

This and the sticker GB that just opened up seem to have the same thing in common.

It's cheaper if all you want are a few pieces and don't want to pay for shipping around the world. Take it for what it is. Depending on the amount you want and where you live your results may differ. For us in murica... this is a great opportunity to save in shipping cost.

Just going to say one thing in regards to GON and leave it at that.

I have had a few interactions with GON and all went very well. Even when communication was slow. When i locked in my order(s) my order was shipping within a few days.

When your talking about products that do not required his assembly services or moq's to be met, I honestly believe these are shipped in a very timely manner. 

I don't want people to be scared away from his site when it comes to certain products he sells.

For us in murica... this is a great opportunity to save in shipping cost.

More
Well if you are just looking for bulk 2u stabs buying them from an electronics supplier like mouser, which has the cherry 2u stabs for $0.88 at a quantity of 1 and dropping after that, might be cheaper:
Cherry G99-0224 (http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=0G990224)

And shipping starts at $4.99

Ceflame, you could possibly order all  extra 2u stabs from mouser to get a cheaper price if you get a number of orders for those.  You could probably save on the shipping from korea too if you could work out just getting the 6.25 stab bars from there and source all the stock parts locally.

Well.... I just did some searches, and you can even get cheaper than mouser (for the 2u stabs), I'll just leave this here for some thought:
Some even cheaper prices.. (https://octopart.com/g990224-cherry-4050311)


edit: ignore me I am an idiot and had the wrong part number there, all that is hidden above was for plate mount stabs, PCB mount ones are these

I'm currently at 37 sets, not sure what Lpwl is at.

Not sure if Hojin will allow us to get the bulk pricing for our combined order numbers, but if we assume he will, and Lpwl is at similar numbers to me,
then we would still need ~25-35 more sets ordered.

3 more days left.

#hype! If we're close to the price break it might motivate people to buy more to meet it. Even if it is just a 10% break :)

Hojin has offered us the 10% discount regardless of hitting 100 sets or not.

He is offering 10-20% discounts on most options on his site (including pcb/housing) if members are looking to run group buys for parts.

Unfortunately, since we were not fully anticipating reaching the 100 MOQ for 10% price drop, we had already sent out and received invoices from most people who have joined.

Here is what we have decided to do, since it would be a lot of work for me and Lpwl. If you have already joined, we are offering you a partial refund of $0.90 per TKL set or $1.20 per full set (numbers will be so-so in Euro) by request. Just send a PM to me (US buyers) or Lpwl (international buyers). Otherwise, your money will go towards supporting us :) .

Subsequent buyers (now until the end) will still be paying our original set GB price for consistency. Thanks!

You can still put an order in. Just be able to pay the invoice within 1-2 days.
