ZOMG! Dave's having a ThanksGIVING sale! Portal 1.5 sets@ $10!
« on: Mon, 25 November 2013, 15:10:46 »

Thanks for participating in the sale, see you next year!
Okay so I've really been wanting to give back to the community lately and I have a lot of stock on hand too, so here goes. For the next week, (Until Sunday Dec 1 2013 11:59 PM PST) the following items will be on sale:

  • Portal 1.5 sets will be sold at cost for $10 each, no limits. If I sell all the ones I have left, so be it. The cost is the salvage cost I paid to SP for the "defective" sets during the 2.0 GB. These are well below the costs of any Portal sets ever sold. Keys are WFJ SP PBT
  • Imsto dyesubs will be $5 instead of $5.50 (Sorry can't do much here since I've still been shorted about 200 of the keys I ordered and paid for, and they're also SP WFJ PBT)
  • Biohazard keys will be $2 and $3 instead of $2.50 and $3.50 (SP Doubleshot RA on NN)
  • Polish keys will be buy 4 get the 5th free ($5 each)
  • Spend $30 or more and shipping is free (I don't care where you are or how much you order. If you order enough to justify a box, great!)
I've been a part of this community for a long time and I know how awesome and selfless it can be and I want to be a part of that some more. Its also just that time of the year, and I've been under a lot of stress lately with school and need an outlet. So go nuts! I really don't care about making money off of keycaps anymore since I'll be making plenty once I graduate. I am still planning on running more group buys, but any profits are going to be pretty minimal. Everything goes back to their normal prices after the sale ends, since it wouldn't really be a sale otherwise. Buy 2 Portal sets, sell the other for the same price I normally am and get yours for free. Or pay it forward and buy 2 and give one as a Christmas gift!


Pictures:
Portal 1.5 Fn/Esc Row Sets:



Biohazard Keys: (Esc row and 1.25x modifiers)

For those that are visiting from Reddit or elsewhere on the internets, you'll need to create an account to send me a PM, I do it that way so I can have a single archive of order history so that I don't have to search through a half dozen databases. I have no minimum post requirements or anything, thanks for your understanding.

Welcome to Geekhack1

First post - spending money - you'll fit in well around here :))
"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

Just letting everyone know that I've shipped everything out and you should have seen a shipping notification by now. If not let me know please. Orders seem to be slowing down so I'll probably just update availability when the sale ends unless they pick up again. I still have plenty of Portal sets etc.
Cheers,
Dave

You should have gotten an email, not through paypal. Check your junk mail. If not PM me and I'll send you your tracking number.

Maybe you should open a topic to classified section, it seems people does not check this part of the forum.

I'm not allowed to since I'm a vendor. I can only sell personal items and not on a large scale. I seriously considered giving it up so I could post this in there since I just want to get these into as many hands as possible. :P

So the sale closes in about 50 minutes. After that, prices go back to their normal levels in these threads:

A huge thank you to everyone for participating, this was a huge success. I may do a boxing week sale in similar form, but with different discounts. Cheers and happy holidays!

Thank you for the fantastic savings!

I've had these on my wish list for a long time, and it finally prompted me to buy some :)
