Choc Mini Group Buy
« on: Fri, 04 February 2011, 20:04:48 »
All three are booked for now and pending payment.

Well okay this is not really a group buy, that's why I didn't start this in the group buy section :P

So here it goes- I'm getting a fairly large package from my relatives in China soon, since the postage for everything under 1o kg is pretty much the same, and all I'm getting for myself is a choc mini and a few other things for my girl, I thought I might as well order a couple more choc minis for us Geekhackers here who are interested.



I'm planning to order four choc minis for now, one for myself so three of them are open for sale. I'm planning to ask for $85 for Cherry blacks/Blues and $95 for Cherry browns(the cherry browns are priced a little more for some reason), Plus shipping, preferably within US48 since that's where I live.

I'm looking to place my orders on monday, and EMS should be on its way by the end of next week(the week of the 7th), and then it will be about a week to arrive in the states. I will then send them out individually.

let me know if anyone is interested, cheers

P.S., we will be ordering the newer version of the choc mini with the revised keycaps:

shipping within us48? that will be around 10 bucks depending on your location. on top of the $85/$95 of the choc mini.

If you can get more in the shipment, I'd like to get a blue switch one.

You can get these China Posted to you for 87, blues/blacks, with the agent linked in the 'it's in the mail page.'

Just saying.

It's possible to get them for $90 through michael with regular mail, but the additional 5-10 bucks for peace of mind + getting your board a couple of weeks earlier is well worth it.

i'm getting my cousin to do this because I want everything to be packed securely and make sure nothing gets damaged/lost, not sure what you mean by "for 87, blues/blacks"?

@Shazb0t & Jasonszion: not planning to get more at the time sorry :( I will definitely give all of you heads up if I decide to do something similar again in the future.

next time I should just start selling them here after I get them shipped to me first, didn't know the choc mini is this popular haha.

If you ever order more please let me know also.  I'm definitely in for this.  Too bad I missed it this time. =(

Choc mini with brown is what I'm looking for. =D

Seriously guys. You can order these keyboards yourself, and get them for basically the same price. No need to wait for a group buy.

I was quoted $110 for it with EMS through an agent.. I doubt it'd get here any quicker, but for those of you that didn't get in on this - no point in waiting for another run

I paid $93 for my Noppoo with blues through airmail. Add $10 to that and they would've sent it with EMS. That's almost the same price as this Noppoo Choc Mini mini group buy would've cost you ($85+$10).
