Any of them left.

I hope someday you will improve your shopping cart and the shipping costs option. Because of this I couldn't get any of them in time, nice.

Many thanks for your facilities given to a foreigner customer. I'm done with you.

Maybe you should blame EK instead since it's their page.

Oh wait, they don't read mails! You'd be better off blaming someone else then.

If they were still in stock, id blow like 118 bucks cuz I wanted one of each.

I dunno I am pretty mad at them as well, specifically their site. I was also pissed off they sent an email the same time orders started.

Can't believe there's still one candy corn WASD set available almost 24 hours later. They look so tasty!

I don't like the look or taste of candy corn. Give me some starburst, skittles, or m&m's colors!

I'll match ripster's price. The added benefit of buying from me is that you aren't buying from ripster.

If you could somehow find the one person that painted that key and "convince" them to not make anymore key like that, supply will cease to continue while demand will pile up. BAM, money.

Clickclack is making more of these.

And because I'm a socialist pig and I don't think it is fair to raise the price of these too excessively according to demand since supply is SO short. I'm instead considering an algorithm such that...

Each person/address can buy 1 keycap at normal price
2 keycaps at 1.5 times the normal price of EACH
3 at 2x each
5 at 3x each
6 at 4x each, etc.

This would cut down on the enterprising individuals who pick these up like pirated AC/DC albums, and leave more chance everyone has an opportunity to buy one.

What do you guys think?

Seems like this is just increasing the incentive for abuse by using other people's paypal accounts and addresses and doing multiple orders of single keycaps.

Is he making more of these specific designs? Why so much less Topre love than Cherry MX love?

I'm guessing since there are probably more cherry mx boards / owners out there it would make sense to cater to that market more.... Not that I dont want any more topre versions, that just my guess.

How many of each type were there?

How many greedy people tried to buy more than 1 of something? Or managed to?

How many more people are there on the mailing list now?!

From the customer stand point I do not see what is the advantage of such initiative. If the people have the money and they really want them they will pay 2x or 5x for the keycaps. This option wont discourage anyone to buy multiple keycaps. In the other hand the benefit for EK is much better

I see the logic though. Resale value for these is hovering around 5-6x, so this approach kills the margins for anybody buying only to flip them. However, my original point about incentivizing the use of multiple accounts to make smaller orders still stands.

It's not a bad idea, but it will likely not effect how long they last (not by much). It could even encourage people to buy more of these (which is why they probably wouldn't last much longer). But, as the above poster said it will benefit Elite. At this point I think it's best that more profit is actually made by Click Clack/Elite. Depending on the production situation, that could encourage more production down the line.

The only way (IMO) to help the situation is to actually charge more. Brian is attempting to help the consumer which is what we all want, but maybe in this situation it's best to simply charge more per cap. If you do it your way (progressively more) people are going to simply buy from other accounts, and just get by without the restrictions altogether. You will need to charge more PER CAP in order to help everyone in the future.

With that said, I love the price. I appreciate the price. Keep doing business the way you think is best.

At least those who try to abuse the algorithm have to pay the extra for shipping.
I really like EK's approach.
