Ask any questions or discuss here  :cool:

Updated the sales thread. Please read the rules there. I am pretty sure all pricing is retail or what I paid for it. I never pay much over retail for anything out of principle either (which is why I have never had any Clacks or KBK/KWK's  :-[ ) but it has gotten me lots of other cool caps that I have been more than satisfied with. If you aren't okay without a certain cap, owning that cap won't surely make you feel any better, so I never see any reason to pay $$$$$ for a single cap. More caps will be sold off this way after this sale is over. Have a few keyboards to list sooner than later as well. Good luck to all :)

Ive somehow never done that. MrsSpeedBump has a **** ton of artisans on her keyboards as well, well she knows them as "little friends" haha, but Ill have to get to her to bring her boards home from her lab and do a family photo of the keepers after the sale.

I've already been offered up more free caps since starting this thread  :-X

It never ends haha.

Heh, you try to basically give them away (compared to the regular secondary market) and you'll still end up with more than you started. I think you're on to something here.

Uh not really, all are under 35 though I think. They will just be retail + 6 shipping in the US via 2 day flat rate USPS, and for international it will probably be between 11-17 which is unfortunate, but the way it has to be.

Are you really a speedbump?

Back when I was a youngling and the interweb was a youngling I had a beagle. Said beagle was quite dumb and managed to get run over by my mother right in front of me. In the end she was totally fine, and a few weeks later I needed a AIM sn, thus LSB was born. Stuck with it because i cant remember multiple silly names for logging into things haha.

funny/not funny. I was wondering the same about the origin. Makes me think i need to ditch my alias from the last 20 years and do something new.
It is really cool of you to share the wealth too! I think a lot of people will get some really special pieces of art from this that they'll appreciate.

Sorry to hear about your dog LSB :( glad she was alright in the end though! I remember making my first AIM sn. At the time I had just learned about the pi (the number) in school and of course that was the first thing that came to mind when it came time to create an sn - and thus, iliv4pi was born. Yup, I was so excited about pi that that was my reason for living. Funny cause, now I'm more into a different kind of pie...

I'm doing my best to avoid a firstborn atm as it is, so you still have quite a chance even without a tiny human up for trades  :p

This is why wedding pies need to be the norm. Don't worry I'm not married yet, so I'll be sure to get the ball rolling when it's my time.

And now you're talking about coffee and cheesecake... you get me. There's gotta be some place in nyc that does coffee cheesecake, if not I might have to go rogue and bake some on my own.

Anyone offering first borns, limbs and half the contents of their nutsack should go read Andy's porch blog again!

Hopefully some deserving people will get these nice caps and enjoy them rather than run them straight onto the classifieds.

On another note: where ever I see the abbreviation LSB I start reading your posts in a lumpy space voice. And I am toootally okayyy with that, girl!

I never pay much over retail for anything out of principle either (which is why I have never had any Clacks or KBK/KWK's  :-[ ) but it has gotten me lots of other cool caps that I have been more than satisfied with. If you aren't okay without a certain cap, owning that cap won't surely make you feel any better, so I never see any reason to pay $$$$$ for a single cap. More caps will be sold off this way after this sale is over. Have a few keyboards to list sooner than later as well. Good luck to all :)

LSB, did you get my pm for the sale? I just wanna make sure it sent. I looked in my sent messages a few minutes after sending it to make sure and didn't see it there.

I know my chances are slim, but I'd put it to good use  :thumb:

Thanks for putting this sale on!

Everyone has a shot! (unless ive seen you selling/buying caps for crazy prices, then I shall ignore you for this particular sale). Always nice to get some new users with some caps to get them started as well  :thumb:

Didn't want to put anything in the message aside from the numbers, but suffice to say: definite respect for running this sale, LSB. Kept my entries to a relative minimum so anything I'd get I'd actually use, in the spirit of the purge. Hope to win but I'm sure they'll all end up in great homes in any case! GL to all :)

Its for me as much as the community. I really, really hoard naturally and love all of the caps, but my "style" with keyboards cap wise is generally quite minimalistic at this point, and there is no reason for me to keep them on display in a little container. I need to continue making myself let go of "things" when Im not using them to others that will appreciate them and use them. Goes for a lot more than just my keycaps haha.

Hi LSB! Thanks for doing this! I wish we had more people in the community like you. Thanks for setting an example for the rest of us here and I hope to follow suit in purging part of my collection as well (...I say as I try to get in on your keycap sale). I do have reasons for keeping most of mine and they are all so special to me.

EDIT: Didn't know that Mr. Bingley was based on your cat until now! That's really cool lol. I thought that name was really unique when I first saw the pics + names of the keycaps but thought KK was just super creative in their naming efforts.

Read the story and listened to the song, kinda can relate to the story but I got no issue with having something that isnt the best as long as it works for me. Never spent more than I had either, so my collection of "toys" alto fairly large most of it gets used. When I find something that works for me its hard for me to replace it, the replacement has to be a 100% or more improvement for me to even consider it

Been looking to upgrade my arcade stick for a long time and wanted to trim my artisan collection down in order to pay for it. Its surprisingly hard to give em up, only other material thing Ive been this attached to must be my old MTG cards. Got a really good offer for my Tinker deck, a deck that is no longer legal and broken as hell but I still cant give it up. Have only opened the box and flipped through it a few times in the last 10 years yet still... So hard to give up

One thing I realized over the years is that if you dont like your job its super easy to fall into the grasp of soulless material world

Best of luck to everyone! I entered too, but I think there's always going to be someone who deserves it more :>

That said, I can relate GenKaan, my trusty old HRAP 2 is chugging along after all these years, the case has yellowed a bit, and sure, I'd love to upgrade to something fancier, but it gets the job done  :thumb:

On the topic of music. I collected many cassettes, some of it is one of a kind to this very day, sometimes I'll find a copy of something and think I should track down another copy that lived a less hard life, it's been the bane of my existence as I just love to archive things. But past couple of years I've learned a valuable lesson to just appreciate it for what it is. I mean where does it end? I'm a much happier person not stressing about a $2,000 tape deck before any servicing or potential part shortage just for a slightly better top-end :V

“if I only had ____ I’d be happy!”

This mindset literally almost killed my interest in the music I've spent such a portion of my life tracking down.. Sorry, reading the blog-post and this thread made me reflect a little :P

Or there just shouldn't be any discussion on it. This was moved to Off Topic because the Classifieds are for discussing a few key questions about items for trade or sale. After that it's taken to PM. This format is a little different and because of all the discussion that was occurring on the Classifieds thread it got moved here.

If you read the sale thread, LSB asked for stories and whatnot as well, so the idea is probably to have discussion concerning the content of the sale, not necessarily the sale itself. For posterity:

If you have stories or thoughts you want to share, please share those in the discussion link at the top of the post, I'd love to read stuff there

Every post bumps up a thread. Mods don't want everyone bumping the same thread (in Classifieds) with discussion because it's unfair to everyone else who has to follow the "bump once a day only" rule.

I never read that keychatter post before (keychatter doesn't load at work for some reason) but it really resonated.

So, I guess one way to remain happy in a hobby that's essentially consumerist is to occasionally do a purge? It actually makes a lot of sense to be honest. It definitely ends the neverending chase for more.

Actually... There was a "Honey Dipped" Furt (Gold with Brown) that was circulating around. I couldn't get the honey quite right so it ended up looking more like "Toilet Furt". Still got a few laying around...
dare i ask for pics? might wind up finding that kudos' bathroom philosophy is "if it's yellow, let it mellow. if it's brown, let it mellow"  :p

We live in LA and are in the midst of the worst drought in history. Toilet is off-limits. Only cat-box for the Kollectiv family  :'(

Btw- Toilet Furt - 4 made. Bloodclot Furt - 2 made. Consider yourself lucky  :cool:

Bloodclot Furt?  Was that ever sold in any of the raffles?

I'll give you a bloodclot, 1 of 1.

...

I hope you're not offering what I think you're offering  :-\

I know it's been said before, but thanks for doing this. Even if I don't win, it's still awesome to see someone doing things for the greater good for the community, and not artisan hoarding and/or selling them at a huge markup.

It's great to see someone with a genuine care for the community. :thumb:

Thank you for doing these kinds of things! I've been after a cat themed cap since I found out they were a thing, it would be great to finally get my hands on one!

Good luck to all who are participating ;D

Great idea, and I love that you're going for people that haven't been as blessed as some of us! I entered for the Furt cap, but only because I'm obsessed with Keykollectiv's caps and want to collect them, I love talking to Kudos and Koala, they're really great people! Thus, since I already have a few artisans, it's likely I won't win, but if no one else somehow wants Furt, he's basically #1 on my want list...I should make a post on mechmarket, huh?

Anyways, great idea, good luck to everyone!

How'd you miss out on this one?

First off.
Sad to see so many artisian caps go free into the wild.
But I can understand your reasoning.

I doubt you'll remember me or that Aaron will but it was your site that got me into my first keyboard and artisian caps. Aaron sold me on the RK Topre clone and you told me what's important about artisian caps is liking what you do have versus that which you envy. And like many others I don't own a Bro or Krap or Clack and that's ok because ever since I bought an HKP I just keep looking forward to Martin's next release.

So thanks for your contributions to the community and most of all to your and Aarons reviews and news. Without you guys I would still think my beat up worn out Sidewinder X6 was the best board in the world.

I sent a PM and I bet like many others it's the most wanted. But if I don't get it I just hope it gets a good home and isn't used as a hostage for a trade.

Thanks again and take care.

Entered for the only artisan that I've truly been trying to acquire as it is one of the few artisans honestly made by anyone that goes impeccably with my keyboard (attempted to purchase one from someone, but that deal fell through due to the sellers awful communication). That, and I've been trying to support Kudos ever since the start as much as I possibly could (feedback from his early alpha tests). But the past sales have been fair raffles (as they should be), and I've had the worst luck ever. So thank you LSB for giving this opportunity!

Good luck to everyone entering, hope you can get the cap you want, there are some amazing artisans in this offer.

Not going to enter myself, unless a Keyng pops up in the next offering. That's my endgame artisan, even though those Orcs sure are tempting.

Just wanted to let those who did win caps know that I will be going to the Post tomorrow. Most shipping labels have been printed for the CONUS orders. International orders won't have shipping, but I will PM reciept photos and provide the Customs # when those ship. All items should be shipped by Wednesday. I need to pick up customs forms when I drop off the first big batch tomorrow, and will drop off the international and few remaining other orders on Wednesday  :thumb: If you have any questions or concerns just PM me!

I believe I got all packages out today, went to the post twice. Drives me nuts having packages that havent shipped when i have money, cant relax until they are out haha.

International buyers should have gotten PM's with customs #'s and photos of their slips. All international buyers should have gotten a refund of some sort as well!

CONUS buyers, tracking should be updated on PP by the end of the day. A few went out early this morning, a few others right after lunch.

If anyone has any issues at all with their parcel, please just PM me.  :thumb:

(also, had a few canceled orders, so others may be getting PM's here that were in the que at some point soon)
