If you guys are really jumping on that, it used to read 'have a look at my interestingly priced caps.' I knew they were high for what I had, but I thought I might get a sale or two.

Childish from Dan I would agree. I can honestly say to you, this was not intended as a troll. Accept that or not, that's how it is!

Well if it really was not a troll and you wanted to sell caps my advice would be to take more time and care, develop a technique, make keys that you would buy, then attempt to sell them. Start at a low price, a couple at $2 and see what people want, when you generate interest and your skill gets better thats when you can charge more.

That would be my advice for anyone wanting to sell anything.

I'd say take the criticism from me in this thread and hand them out for free for others to judge.  In fact, send me one and I'll write you a complete review from an unbiased perspective based on quality in comparison to other similarly priced keycaps.

Why is it that we are discussing this? Don't like em Don't buy em!

Enough said, we don't need vigilante mini mods running around preaching the good word of ethical keycap construction.

you can make it very easily, the distressed keyboard look I think will be a hit in 2013.  Just need some indian caps worn to hell and some marker pen and tears.

I love how the control key has been hit so hard their anger has bent it.

well to be honest, all these custom keycaps look like **** to me.

especially those baked goods ones.

yet nobody jumped on dude's ass about his ridiculous prices.

but i guess if you get on the good side of certain geekhackers, you're okay.

now calm down ladies, as whiskerbox said.. don't like it? don't buy it.

indeed it was as half the people cannot be bothered to read your posts to understand what you are trying to say.
I for one would like to see the classifieds rules changed with most of the ideas you proposed

"don't like it, don't buy it" doesn't work when GH itself is protecting the shady sellers with its current rules...

I'm not going to lie, being a new member around here the one thing I've realized is the ridiculous pricing on everything. A lot of guys that have been around here just exploit the newer/desperate members with ridiculous costs. As much as I'd like a brobot/cc (even if you could find it for that matter) to make my setup look unique, prices multiply insanely because of "rarity".

It's nice to see unique caps like the "baked goods", however I believe that people should show/create tutorials on how to make these things on your own if you can't afford their caps/ they're not available (cc's). That's what this community should be about imho, not making a quick buck.

yeah, no.

dt probably gave him a lashing because most of the people there feel superior to GH.

GH's "lashing" was minimal.

and the nail polish people all got a pass too.

This thread was entertaining to say the least. Although I don't find his keycaps or the steep price appealing, OP deserves so much bashing. As someone in the thread already mentioned: if you don't like 'em, don't buy 'em. If his creations are not appealing enough to sell then everything will work itself out, i.e., the termination of production.
