[GB] Red Alert Round 2: COMPLETE

[danielucf]

To be honest, I hardly ever use the backlighting. So, I really don't know. I have since taken those keycaps off, that was just for one picture.

Really, the only things I use on the function layer are the directional arrows, which I memorized (OKL;), and delete, which is fn + backspace.

Yea I guess that is all I would need to remember too if I didn't turn on the back lighting (fn B) and turn up the brightness (fn V)

[AKIMbO]

I think it`s time we start publicly shaming those who haven`t paid.  When are you gonna update the list of orders to show who has and has not paid Rag?

[Djuzuh]

Prepare the logitechs !

[MarkPharaoh]

But mine are 10x more ugly.

Well these are abs also.

[Ovoxo]

Sorry for the delay. I paid as well.

[penoulum]

thank you for the adding Tsan white  
in addtion, PAID ~~

[Typhaeon]

This happened with Tsangan's cream and green group buy, too.

I guess it'd be possible have a script check names against money owed in a spreadsheet and export text into "Paid" and "Unpaid" categories with usernames, proper spacing and red/green color BBcodes to easily paste into a first or second post.

Would be much easier to name and shame that way, and keep people honest.

[Ragnorock]

Its not a problem for me to check who is unpaid if there aren't that many. With only 23 left unpaid its getting to that point. I was busy yesterday etc, so I hadn't yet, but I'll do it later today.

[MarkPharaoh]

23 seems huge...almost 25% of all orders haven't been paid. This is my first group buy on GH; is this common?

[DanGWanG]

Usually it takes a long time to collect all the money, so yes, it's common lol

[Ragnorock]

Its between it and portal, so its more like 12%. I had the two biggest orders pay yesterday so we're close. About $2,400 left to go. Its too late to get the order sent in for today so we have the weekend to get everything in. I want the order placed on Monday.

Keep in mind many of these members have contacted me about payment and have made arrangements, but here's the list of unpaid. If you have paid and you are on this list, PM me. If you haven't and you aren't on the list, then PM me too, I may have missed some.

Time to start breaking some legs

LLAMA KICK SON

[Ragnorock]

So uhh yeah. Sending in the order tomorrow, and not a single invoice was paid today. Still 18 left. Sigh.

Also just bought one of those pink Filco tenkeylesses with the lotus on it for the GF. Who's up for color adjustment in PS of the RA set to make a super sweet pink on white set?

Yeah! +1 for Pink on White! That would be a great Valentine present for my GF =]]

[All The Fire]

Maybe everyone did what I did. I thought I had paid as soon as I got the invoice, until I checked my credit card statement 4 days later... :S

[Kellybear]

Awww pink on white D: why didn't you think of this before doing the Red Alert hfmfpphwgohwefpaweoajweg ;_;

[Ragnorock]

Okay order has been submitted to SP and paid for! Please do pay your invoice if you haven't as I took a leap of faith and paid for your keys already, and the rest of the ~$2k outstanding is what pays for the shipping costs to everyone.

And Kelly I may eventually do a pink on white set but we'll see.

Lets see if this goes through...

In case any of you didn't get the memos sent out through every channel I could think of, this group buy is continuing without a hitch, and was probably the least affected group buy overall. However, and I'm not sure whether the people involved are just flakey or whether they thought they shouldn't pay until GH is back up, but I have about $630 in unpaid invoices left. Those members are:

M_Enanos
4en
BababooeyHTJ
Fstop
Monja
WorldExclusive (Is not obligated to pay, tentatively cancelled his order before the deadline)
Abc12asd
Greg Dron
Mashingkeys
Useless_People
Changdrew

I need these payments ASAP (a couple are from the Portal/Biohazard Group buy) or else your order becomes a leftover order and you lose your group buy prices. Meaning if one of the above show up after the keys get here and expect to pay then, its not going to work. I went out on a limb and covered the costs to buy the keys for you and you didn't pay or contact me for 6 weeks. If the affected want their keys at that point they have to pay leftover prices.

Also I will fix the attachments in the OP when GH becomes more usable.

[Ragnorock]

Okay guys, now that I have your attention, here's the deal: I'm going to be buying Tsangan's RF 87U and red keycaps to help him get some cashflow but unfortunately because of the multitude of unpaid orders listed above, cashflow is somewhat tight for me as well. As such, I'm doing a one time only discount on preorders all of the leftover sets I've purchased for this group buy. Instead of $80 per leftover set I'm offering them for $70 until Tuesday of next week (24th of July) In addition, the add on sets will be $35 instead of $40, essentially the same level of discount. 104 sets have to stay at $30 since they ended up being so expensive and I only have a couple. These will be arriving at my house at the end of the month, and shipping out the first week of August. Finally, if there is enough interest that I run out of leftovers, I will be canceling the above orders and using those toward this sale as well, so the limit on how many I sell is how many I have. For anyone who missed out on the group buy this is your last chance to get these sets cheap! SP raised their prices by 32% after this set was produced.


If you are interested, send a PM to me with your name, paypal email, and shipping address, and what you want of course. Additional info can be found in the OP.


Oh, and if anyone wants my "Only one in NA" RF 91 UDK-G (Uniform 45g) with red printed keycaps, I'm considering selling it, let me know if you're interested.

That girl behind her isnt bad either O_O

[Kellybear]

Sorry, didn't read your post. Was busy looking at gif.


Lol jk. GLWS :3 What's the next gb you'll be working on after this?

[The_Beast]

Too many key cap sets, not enough keyboards

[Ragnorock]

PBT sets. I'm working on something special but I'm waiting on SP to send me some proofs so I can show everyone what they're actually buying rather than photoshopping.

[The_Beast]

PBT, you've got my interest

[Djuzuh]

Too many key cap sets, not enough keyboards

Exactly !

[Kellybear]

PBT sets! MY MONIEZ ;_; when are you doing that pink on white? lolol.

[sherryton]

Is it possible to take Changdrew's payment for the Red Alert set? 

[Waterdr1nker]

Man, I wish I could do this, but I'm really tight on money right now. Guess I'll wait for Round 3

[Kellybear]

He's coming out with a PBT set for RA after this, I think ;o

[Ragnorock]

No, whether your set comes from my pool of leftovers or those who ordered from the group buy but didn't pay, the price remains the same. That would be extremely unfair price discrimination if I sold sets to different people at different prices.

@Kelly, Pink on white will probably come after the next round, the one I'm working on now has 3 sets, red on white, blue on white, and purple on white.

Ah hell, I'll just go ahead and spill the beans. The add on kits are going to be dyesubbed with SC2 legends for all the spells of a particular race. They go with each race's theme'd color combo. So there will be 3 kits, with a few 8-11 keys in each, and are entirely optional for those that just want the base kits. There's also going to be 100 set minimum per color combo, since they are too expensive otherwise. (Well over $100) There will be a soft order close date as I'm willing to leave it open until we reach at least that point because I just can't ask people to pay that much for a keycap set.

Obviously PBT is going to be more expensive, but I was able to negotiate a break in the 32% increase SP has instated to keep them from simply being too expensive. Obviously I'm still working out the details, so we'll see sometime next week when the thread goes up.

[Kellybear]

My moniez, Dave. OOOMG. I WANTZ. I can't wait for pics fufufufu.

[Ragnorock]

Just to let everyone know, there are only 2 red and 0 grey modifier kits left, so if you want em speak now or forever be doomed to a single tone color scheme! GoGO!

[Ragnar]

Is it still possible to get in on this?

[Ragnorock]

I have leftovers for sale, they cost more than the group buy price, but I've got them on sale till tomorrow. Send me a PM if you're interested.


Also for everyone else, I do NOT have any extra Tsangan kits. I already asked if SP was willing to make me a few extra and they had already produced them so they can't unless I pay for a new round of like 15. So you're out of luck if you're looking to buy a leftover set and need a Tsangan kit to make it work, sorry!

Looks like the last 104 kits and Red modifiers are pending payment/spoken for, but I still have plenty of Base RA sets, so have at em! I think I'll have aanotoher 104 kit at least kicking around, but as of this 5 mins, I'm not taking orders for anything but base kits. Preorder discount successful! Just to be sure I don't oversell, I'll be selling that 104 kit and anything else I missed once everything gets here.

[boost]

Just wondering when these keys will be in.

Thanks

[Kellybear]

I messaged Rag about this a few days ago and he saiiiiid

They get to me at the end of this month (ship out on the 31st apparently) and I'll be shipping them out at the beginning of August. They aren't here juuust yet, but sooon.

Thanks for the info, this is good news. but the damn summer just flew by WTF

[Ragnorock]

Yeah agreed, I still have to finish restoring my Gf's mini and fix up and sell my other car... and go to an MLG and go fishing and rollerskating (GF dictating this to me as I type)


Oh, and mail all these out ofc. 

[Ragnorock]

Alright, preorder sale successful, here is the list of unpaid invoices FROM RED ALERT that haven't been cancelled yet:

M_Enanos
BababooeyHTJ
Changdrew (Waiting on an email sent to him about this and my dyesub refund, otherwise I'd have cancelled it already)

That totals another 3 base sets, 2 Red Mod, 2 Grey Mod, and 1 104 kit. Even though they're still delinquent I'm holding on to those just in case I miscalculated anywhere to guard against overselling. Its unlikely but last time I sold out everything before they even got here and that caused a couple of issues with missing keys etc. Anyone who wants just a base set though, let me know since I still have a good amount of those. They're back up to $80 but they aren't getting any cheaper than this from here on out.

This news makes me
