U MAD BRO?

I think bavman's prices are fine. If he makes a few bucks in the end, so be it.

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #501 on:** Mon, 07 January 2013, 15:36:15 »

Just see it as a "handling" fee. Running a GB and dealing with the logistics is no fun. Processing payment, printing addresses, packaging all the stuff, and taking it all to the post office takes more time than you'd think. Controller was suppose to be $18 anyways, so in the end you save a buck and bavman gains a buck. Win-Win.

I understand that and I'm not trying to make a big deal out of an ant hill. When a thread says one thing it needs to stick to it, or just change what it says, or make it clear where the discrepancy lies. If I just arbitrarily decided one extra dollar was ok to charge on almost everything in my Toxic group buy I could make hundreds of dollars easily, but that is not what group buys are about. When i3oilermaker charged extra for the meth keys instead of the $.41-.51 a piece for the keys he changed his prices to the group buy price. $1 wasn't going to break the bank, it is just being honest, accountable, and with all the information for everyone to see. That is how you run a solid, reliable group buy and there is no harm in helping people learn to run the best group buy possible to improve everyone's experiences.

I'm confused, in the OP is says:

A Teensy 2.0 controller with header pins----Available through his GB for $18 per

I got charged $17 which sounds like I'm winning here.

EDIT:
Read the update #1, I'm stupid.

I'm sorry I didn't update you guys until someone caught that, I just wanted to cover all my bases because there's so much money going around in a group buy that if I make a small mistake it adds up and I can be out $100+ at the end.

Also unrelated, I had some people ask me about customs charges, and I'll put a low enough value on them so no ones gets charged with extra customs fees

(Finally) Paid. Thanks for doing this for the people (like me) who weren't around last time. Very excited about getting it (Because one of my friends has already asked for pics of it, and I just want to see it in person. Looks very cool!)

I think i got the invoice but idk cause it doesnt say anything about a phantom in the email i got.

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #511 on:** Tue, 08 January 2013, 02:03:45 »

Does anyone know where we can buy switches in bulk? Don't say 7bit because I already know that. He gets the switches somewhere so it might be more cost effective if we put in a large order for switches directly from a distributor. I'm thankful that 7bit is offering switches, but shipping them in a timely manner is anyone's guess so I would like to eliminate this factor as well. 171 PCBs will require a lot of switches, and it will deplete his current stock. That means those that couldn't get their order in to him will be forced to wait a while or buy another keyboard to desolder switches.

umm dude currently offering switch in my gb for the phantom...

But hey if you can get me better pricing somewhere else go for it.

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #513 on:** Tue, 08 January 2013, 02:14:01 »

Ah I total missed that

. When I glanced at them, I thought they were directly from 7bit. They all look even cheaper than 7bit's price except for the red switches. Are these from a US distributor? What's the MOQ?

I would like some clears, and springs to make ergo cleard, if you put in the order.

danielucf · « **Reply #518 on:** Tue, 08 January 2013, 13:24:51 »

Paid. I hope we can get some cool custom aluminum cases for these. Maybe someone can get in contact with who ever makes the LZ and KMAC aluminum cases.

If you are hoping to just order springs alongside your clears, I would say that you are out of luck, I have yet to find a place to just get springs (apart from Koreans) your best bet is to get someone to trade their red/brown/blue springs with your clears.

Whites, as I've heard, are soft and mushy. I want Greens.

I'm stubborn, but I want greens. If you look at the Cherry MX Guide on Deskthority, they say that Whites are a soft click while Greens are a firm click.

EDIT: I meant Firm click for Greens...

If they both have a soft click what's the problem?!

t2russo · « **Reply #524 on:** Wed, 09 January 2013, 19:24:54 »

Greens are very much a firm click. Supposedly either the material or leg length of the whites makes them different. But greens really just feel like blues with a black spring.

That is a bummer, though. I forget whose boards they were, maybe Tsangan, but it was two litster cases - one blue and one red, with matching blue and red switches respectively... it looked awesome, but once caps are on it, no one will ever know $:-\$

SmallFry · « **Reply #529 on:** Wed, 09 January 2013, 20:33:07 »

Aye, twas Tsangan.

Also sold a DKSaver and an MKC V1 clear acrylic case with a Filco with browns inside. If i remember correctly, the blue Phantom had a white switch for the Esc. (Brain is in overdrive mode, sorry)

fl0w3n · « **Reply #530 on:** Wed, 09 January 2013, 20:48:23 »

The clear acrylic would look good with a phantom PCB, but not with the stock green Filco PCB

I would like to have everyone have their invoice paid within 1 week of receiving it. I talked to a couple people who won't be able to pay till later, but thats okay and shouldn't interfere with our timeline.

We're at about 22/118 invoices unpaid

Hey bavman did you see this yet? 5% off if you just publicize for them (facebook, twitter, or google). With 170ish PCBs ordered, 5% will save you $300, which you can pocket or donate to GH.

Hey guys,

I've been away from home for the past day and I won't be back until tomorrow. I haven't been responding to my pm's and such because I don't have my computer with all my files. So if your expecting a reply from me or change in your invoice, please hang on and I'll get to you promptly.

Also if you haven't paid your invoice yet please do asap as I'd like to get the order placed for everything this week. If for whatever you need to cancel, let me know instead of not paying. If you have some circumstances that prevent you from paying now, talk to me and we'll figure something out (I know a couple people pm'd be and I will get back to you soon!).
