Post by: omgar on Sun, 27 March 2016, 23:14:15: A seller on eBay named "shopon854" has been posting a couple different GMK sets. He just added a GMK White on Black set and a partial GMK RGBK/CMYK set.

It looks great. The legends are flawless unlike the JTK BoW set.

Post by: ThoughtArtist on Mon, 28 March 2016, 02:02:18: Glad I saw this since they are gone now! I wanted Dolch, Charred Orange/Skidata, and White-on-Black the most since I'm new to this and trying to get the classics to start my collection.

Been hunting BoW sets, but they seem to be extremely rare =)

According to the GMK Database (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=79535.0) Ivan had a GB a few years ago that failed to met MOQ.

Zenna has a icon modifier buy (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=80267.0) going in right now though, and JTK debut included a WoB set.

There was a Chinese buy for a 115 key set.

Another member and myself looked into running the same set but decided it wasn't in demand enough.

To be specific, it was ran by Korean member name noble together with GMK Dolch GB.

Beautiful. I wish I had jumped on it sooner. I messaged the seller and he let me know that he is in talks with GMK about receiving more BoW sets. :thumb:

Nice! I really lucked out on it as I just happened to be up late that night on Ebay, and it was only available for a couple of hours at the most. It works well for me since I only had a Dolch TLK set, and a Cherry numpad with double-shots and no other Cherry caps.
