Can you give us a rough estimate of what these cost when new? Don't want to send a really low offer because of ignorance.

wow... that price and those caps. damn.

no way I would sell those.

do those caps type differently? i imagine they are heavier than plastic so does that change the spring of the switches?

I thought there was a rule that you couldn't sell stuff for more than the GB price. I guess I was wrong.

just curious your state of mind going into this, are you thinking you may make money, break about even or suffer a loss? No really asking what you want to happen or are accepting, just what you think could happen.

I won't sell them at a loss and I don't think that getting back what I paid would be enough of an incentive to sell them at the moment.


I do need the money for something which is also why I have been selling off my clacks but I'm not going to post a charity auction like so many have already here.

I am confused. It sounds you want someone to beg you to sell your caps handing you some extra hundreds over what you originally paid as incentive?  :(  Strange way to negotiate... or it may be a convenient way, who knows?

lol, you guys need to just stop posting in this guy's thread. You obviously don't control the seller's price, if you want it make an offer. If he wants too much for it, he won't sell it. It's pretty ****ing obvious.

I'm not trying to pick a fight with anyone, but isn't it considered thread-crapping if you post on someone's sales thread stuff like 'it's expensive' 'others are cheaper', etc.? I'm just trying to understand net ettiquette.

It's only threadcrapping if the OP reports it as such to a mod. Also, pointing out threadcrapping is, in itself, threadcrapping.

Dont you think that it MIGHT looks really cool with the white/blue GMK caps? ^^ Orange on charcoal as you mentioned arent too bad either.

You should look into getting a case for it aswell. :D

Rain drop caps? It would do but I don't think that legends will work really. Ideally I want a blank set where the caps are all the same colour.


I should get a case but they are expensive! The only case that I would buy is WRXchris' wooden case.
