@Spam the problem with SP is that they charge an exorbitant amount like 5cents a cap I think which is understandable if you have to employ someone to do it by hand.

Yeah I know but if you ship the caps to a 3rd party and pay them to sort with their 'future sorting machine we don't think exists but will soon' then ship all the caps again....you probably spent that much.....I dunno just a thought.

I wonder if people would spend ~$5 more per group buy if they could get their caps quicker, assuming it'd be quicker.

@Spam I would want the sorter to ship them to the end customer as well,  im sure if everyone used the company they could do a decent price.

@mkawa Shweet!
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

Had not considered that, that widens the possibilities....

What would one use a keycap sorting machine for? Does anyone really have THAT many caps?

I think it would be more meant for GB organizers. But the majority of the time, the GB adds in a sorting fee to have SP do it for them

Did you read the thread?  It's for group buys.
