wtf happened to the dsa dolch retro gb??
« on: Mon, 02 June 2014, 04:20:36 »
I rarely come on the forums these days but now every trace of that group buy is gone. I can't find it anywhere. What happened?

Outside the dispute window.  People, quite a lot of people, have tried.  The discouraging results were posted in the original GB thread.
"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

hmm..... I c....

You know.. Idk bout Corea,  but if it's anything like China, you can pay for a  "Collector" (local gangster) quite cheaply to either Collect, Ruff'up, or Sweep...

By USD standards this service is honestly dirt cheap for what it is..

Any Coreans up in here know some details?

do they mention gangsters?

(Attachment Link)

They offer that sure, but I'm saying you can just get the ruff'up,  or collection service..

collection service is usually the more expensive actually, because they'll probably take a large portion 50% of the take for example..

the only way to get fair-er collection, is to be a repeat customer.. OR have some sort of plan to reinvest in the gang.. 

This is the part that put many people off.. so predominantly, they say screw it, just go beat that guy up...
