EDIT: I failed to notice this wasn't a BIN listing... For BIN, see my 2nd message below. (I've also corrected the price in this thread's subject line.)

$3.99 shipped from Hong Kong. Description:

Quote
• 37-key Double Shot Backlit Keycaps; ABS Plastic
• Charming appearance, gradient bulelover pattern
• Comes with a keycap puller, convenient to pull key caps
• For Cherry MX mechanical key switches type use

They're not double-shot, of course; they look dye-subbed to me. Still, $3.99 shipped? What's to worry?

(And see, this is why I grit my teeth when you guys send $100 off to Asian distributors for key sets...)

It's not being sold for $3.99 that's just where the bidding starts

They very much look lasered to me. Still, that is quite cheap.

You can find them on AliExpress. They should be about 10 USD including shipping.

Pretty much the same thing, except six bucks, buy it now, side printed.

Oops, you're right, my mistake. You can get the same set BIN for $4.98 and $4.99, respectively, here:
