About how many switches is that on your desk?  :o

1,158.

Out of pure curiosity, what are people doing with their clear switches? Will you use the clear springs and stem? Will you take all of them apart to lube them?
Just curious because my first set of clears I just installed as-is and love them, but can't help but want to try ergo's.

I'm probably putting in 65g springs into mine (or 62g).  I have a set of Krytox 103 and 201 oil/grease from Limmy and a couple bottles of Victorinox Multi-tool oil, so I'll be doing full lubing and stickering.

Put in my QFR. There's only ABNT layout with MX blacks.

How much can I ask for my old blacks?

This group buy was pretty small, but has made me realize how much work people put into this kind of thing - especially at such massive scale like the Tai Hao GB. Elton is a brave man.

I didn't partake in this GB but it seems to me that you did an outstanding job running this.

One thing that makes it somewhat easier is using the small flat rate USPS boxes and printing shipping labels straight from PayPal.

Thanks for the effort Ryan Uber! That stack of boxes looks awesome. Can't wait.

Dropped all packages off at the post office. Declared values on international packages as $30. The international postage rates didn't match up completely with the price I charged. The difference was ~$1 on each. If you are angry about that >_< please let me know via PM and I will make it right. Postage price is printed on the labels. I'll PM the tracking numbers on international orders this evening.

<-- not international, but wanted to say that we should probably be paying YOU.  Because I don't think you included PayPal fees into the price, as when you requested money, you probably had to give up ~3% of each payment.  That's already $1.55 difference for 75 switches, and $2.07 for 100 switch-orders that you lost.

ETA: my numbers were off--corrected!

Did you mark it as gift? If you did, then the min value without being taxed is $60 for us. If not then it is less than $20.

That's generous, Photoelectric. It's cool though. I bought 90 clears from TheKeyboardCompany like 2 months ago and spent $130. I am still saving money compared with that transaction. I realized the paypal fee only after I had invoiced everyone. I'll account for it in future GB's.

Marked all as gift.

Well, I for one will send you the fee I should have paid as a Gift Payment when I will get home!  It's only fair :)  (85 x 0.69) * 0.03 = $1.76 :) -- close enough!

My switches are shown as having been delivered!  And I won't be home for another... many hours :(  Now I need to wait for my 62g springs I traded 65g springs for and a steel universal plate to be made / shipped (really hope it's not too far away)!  At least I can take a lot of time to properly lubricate everything :)

Nice! I am surprised at the speed of shipment on the $6 boxes. Pretty awesome. What case are you putting all of this stuff into?

Got mine a week or so ago, thanks.

I find myself in need of more though now that I've acquired a Razer Orbweaver gaming keypad and am looking to get that modded with clears so if anyone's got any extras that they don't need and are willing to sell, I'm interested (looking for like 25 switches).
