Wonder what iMav's thoughts are, is he still the 'owner'?

*shrug* No idea. Maybe just end the marketplace altogether, to be on the safe side?

There are some who would go for that and be happy with only the handful of people that would be left  ::)

for those astonishing clack prices, maybe CC can start mass-producing them. once they are generally available to everyone, prices should go down i guess. not sure, not an economics pro.

other than that, i'm on with auctions with regulations. mods can think up what those would be and enforce it.

^This.  Plus, I doubt CCs will ever be mass produced (hasn't CC himself said that?)

:facepalm:

No- artist- wants- to- mass- produce- anything- by- themselves...

Taking time working on art != going to business school/innate business sense when it comes to manufacturers.  Why do people ASSUME this would make things better?  Does the plan of mass production even seem fiscally responsible?

Lots of people collect Clacks for their rarity.

Take away the rarity, and they won't want them anymore...

Just wait until the Chinese get a wiff...Feng already has similar skulls with flames that will be up for sale very soon...It definitely won't be the first time there has been a knock-off product produced in China.  :cool:

How is this thread not locked already? Everyone posted, it turns out this is about clacks like I said 7 pages ago. Either make a change to the rules regarding auctions or leave it a lone and move on. Holy crap.

Not enough gnomes.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Exactly. So not only is mass production improbable, it is damn near impossible...

FYI: We've closed this thread because we felt the discussion had run it's course and had devolved into a less positive discourse. The big points have been made and we're considering them.

We're currently working on implementation a solution.
