If anyone is selling theirs this early, I can't imagine it is for any reason other than to profit. The color way has been made several times already. It's not like someone can say, "I didn't know if I would like it or not." OTOH, they are free to sell their sets for whatever they feel they can get for them. It just irks me a little that they got their sell, just to sell it, and I'm still waiting for my two, that I actually plan to put to use. Sigh.
Is anyone else annoyed by the couple of hyperfuse sets that have recently popped up on /r/mechmarket for like a little bit more than what Binge charged, conveniently right after Binge shipped most of the orders?
The last set out there was $175 shipped. Not making any money on them at that price. Maybe if they're part of the original buy from Bunny. I'm sure there were others that went for more, but that's the last one I saw.Yeah I saw that one too. nbd.

While it's been made before, these sets and the colors certainly look different than previous runs
Is anyone else annoyed by the couple of hyperfuse sets that have recently popped up on /r/mechmarket for like a little bit more than what Binge charged, conveniently right after Binge shipped most of the orders? I think what Binge did was really cool for the community, making sure some more people got to experience the sets, and it sucks to see people just immediately reselling it at a higher price.
That being said, I do not, have not, and will never be bothered by anyone who charges what they feel the market will bear for their personal property. It is far more bothersome to me that others are seemingly making it their business. It's not, and if you find yourself getting bothered by it, step away from your computer and do something else.

If the sets in question were purchased from Binge at $160, reselling them for $175 is perfectly reasonable to recoup the original cost, PayPal fees, and shipping.

I mean I agree, they can do whatever the **** they want, I don't actually care that much. It just feels like Binge was doing this to try and make the set more accessible, and these people are only promoting higher prices which is making it less so.
I don't care about the resell.
What bothers me is that these guys get their hands on the set before me ... I ordered in February.
this resell could be positive and may allow the purchase of set by some Europeans or others :rolleyes:...remember that Binge sell was "exclusive" to CONUS...and these values are lower than hiring a proxy to provide the buy.

Really? From pictures I've seen they look very similar. Though I admit discerning color is not my forte (hence the reason I often shoot photos in B&W).
And dude, a few dollars is nothing. Now if they were selling for like $100 more then that's clearly just trying to gouge people
People buy extras all of the time for the purpose of reselling. It's good for meeting MOQ and the seller has the right to add a small premium for a hard-to-get set (not gouging though of course). Buying extras for resale was even tossed around as a good thing by established members not too long ago, https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=68798.0, suggesting even a 30% markup, as long as reselling generally funded more community participation.
Normally I would have posted about this on what's bothering you, but such is life, and I can't. That's why this might seem like it doesn't deserve it's own thread.

Did you read my post?
Your original one? Yes, that's what I am replying to. In short, no, I'm not annoyed by the couple of hyperfuse sets that have recently popped up on /r/mechmarket for like a little bit more than what Binge charged. As I said, it's a common thing to do and somewhat condoned, so why would it be annoying?. If you were passively suggesting a different post, then please do point it out.

Well perhaps you just miss-understood it. I'm not talking about people buying extras to tip moq then reselling them. That's what Binge did, and as I said, I think that's amazing. I'm also not talking about the ONE goddamn keyboard that was sold for $15 more that everyone seems to think I am. Just to be clear, I'm not saying you have to agree with me by an means, I'm just trying to make my point a little more clear.
Ok, gotcha, we're on the same page then. :) Were you able to dig up links to those listings?As I said previously, after searching mechmarket I believe I was mistaken saying they were on there. Might have been eBay? I can do some digging if you'd like.
Nah don't worry about it. Hopefully it's isolated and not too many people are trying to take advantage of Binge's hospitality.Ok, gotcha, we're on the same page then. :) Were you able to dig up links to those listings?As I said previously, after searching mechmarket I believe I was mistaken saying they were on there.

I've never tried Cherry profile.
Me too....me too. :'(I don't care about the resell.

I'll make sure to sell mine at a proper inflation just to annoy you. ;)
