For those who are not afraid of the unknown. :))

Thanks for posting.
Anyone recall from the last sale if the shipping was this outrageous?
$18 for one bag $25 for two :o
-
Yeah, I was going to grab a bag, but at $50 after shipping was too much with me shedding most of my mx stuff. :/

Prices match last years.
I'm done buying these things, these are only good for people who just like getting stuff with a chance you might get a half dozen interesting caps or someone who wants to have an in person experience with SP's different profiles, colors etc.

I was about to buy a bag or two but then the shipping was just too high... I would be searching for nice 1.75 shifts since I have the pesky 75% layout but cost to entry was not worth it for me.
-
I didn't buy the bags back in February, which had quite a few nice caps, so I'm grabbing one now. Should get a number of fun keys from the awesome keysets that were printed this year.
Shipping is a lot, but it's 3lbs of keys, this will take up some room, and even then a regular non-flat rate box would be around the same price due to weight. Priority is a bonus I'd say.
Probably the first and last time I do this, but something I feel like should be done at least once :)
-
Pretty good chance these will have some nice SA profile caps (Hack'd, Jukebox) but the price after shipping is a little extravagant. It would be fine at $35 but not $50.
-
i just bought 3 bags.
Shipping:$10.78

by the way, thank you for posting this !
-
I think next round should have some more alps caps in it with alpine winter (and maybe another few buys?!?), so I'll save my money for that.

So you live in Washington eh? :))

I got one just a week ago. Had tons of fun with it.

What? are you in the same state or something?

Unfortunately shipping costs me more than the bag itself (Canada).

yep!

These really aren't worth it anymore. They're smaller and cost more than they used to while also having less interesting stuff in them.

Yep. If you really want one, I'll ship the remains of my crap bag to you for half the price. :))
Edit: General you, not you nubs
Edit edit: I would ship to nubs if he wanted, I don't discriminate

I'm not sure about them being smaller, the current bags and last couple rounds have been 3lbs whereas previous rounds were only 2.5lbs.

I would take you up on this but I don't think I would use them enough. I like the idea of mix and matching all those random caps but I think I'm going to enjoy hunting for and creating complimentary color schemes/themes even more.

damn it , i wish you would have spoke up earlier nubs.
the first crap bag i bought was from you, and there was a lot of good stuff in it.
well. lets just hope there is something decent in it.

It really depends on what you expect from it. If you find joy in digging through a bunch of random caps with obscure legends from specific industries, you'll probably have fun. I saw a lot of people on reddit posting unicorn vomit boards with these caps and plenty of people thought it was a fun/neat thing to receive.
Personally, after having received one already, I'm done. It's not worth a second go around for me. But if you've never gotten one, give it a try, just to say you did. It's not as terrible as some (myself included) have implied, I just wouldn't do it twice. :P

yeah, i can see it being a great one time thing.
once you have a buttload of keycaps laying around... you wouldn't want to do it again.
on the bright side, i will be able to give away all the keys that i am not interested in.
hopefully someone will be excited about that ^^

Was debating this but id have no use for them
They're sold out anyway so that decides things for me lol

Haha, when I read the title I read it as "PMK Garbage Bags". I think there is something subconscious going on here...
If anyone gets a 1.75 unit SA keycap in the brown from the 1976 GB, I will buy it from you regardless of what is on the cap...

Ha! Yeah that's why they call it a crap bag. Pretty good if you wanna mess around with some cap modifications and whatnot. And who knows, there could be a full Pulse set in there :p.
Also good if you like caps that say hilarious things.

Thanks dude. Much appreciated. :) Not sure any were actually made, so if there are any they would just be tests...

aaaannnndddd it's gone!

If you liked the one from me, odds are you'll like the new one.

They are sold out now so no need to decide.

These are fun for the first time and not really much thereafter. Kinda like....okay, I won't go there.

I have a bunch of cool blanks from a bag or two, but I have passed on all the others. Still need to find a way to use the blanks.
-
I have about an entire 60% worth of blank DSAs from mine, including spacebar. I just need a caps lock and a few more 1.25 for the bottom row :)
-
I clicked as soon as I got the email, but they had already sold out.
Just curious to see what postage to Australia was this year.
The first year I took a gamble - the postage was high but I did get a couple of nice finds in it.
The second year the postage was higher and there was not really anything of value in it.
No regrets having missed out this time.

There should be a GMK grab bag.

Perhaps GMK do not make many mistakes while making their keycaps.

It should be, but with the TA, they may be able to fill some bags, though.
-
Good they sold out. Can't be tempted now.
-
I put one in my cart... then removed it when I saw the postage. When the postage costs more than the product, you're using the wrong postage type / provider.
