Trust me, you don't want one.

Trust me, you don't want one.

I need to clone my QFR

[SpAmRaY]

Dang it the price went up.

[missalaire]

$14 shipping LOL

[dreamingftw]

Grabbed one even though it was a little bit more expensive than last year. Thanks for the heads up!

[Johan]

31.25 in shipping, how big is that package?

The one last year came in a medium flat rate box shipped USPS. It was a few pounds.

It quoted me $14 shipping (Virginia, USA)

The one last year came in a medium flat rate box shipped USPS. It was a few pounds.

Priority Mail or First Class? (I guess it's not much difference in the US, although Priority Mail can sometimes arrive in one day and First Class takes several)

Is there a chance to get any nice novelty keys that you would normally have to buy from a vendor like keypop?

If SP made them, then there is a chance

[dreamingftw]

They're more fun to sort through than anything, just don't expect too much.

Yah, it's probably just the fun to sort through. However, I can find fun for $40 in a different way without collecting crap. I would probably buy at like $15 + shipping, but not this. It's not worth it.

I am in the same boat.  $35+$15 in shipping for the novelty of it is too rich for me.   

[remedyhalopc]

Trust me, you won't get close a full set and you'll just have random bags of keycaps hanging around.

I turned a profit last time I got one, but I was surely an outlier.

[jonathanyu]

I have one, it is in a small flat USPS box.

[SpAmRaY]

I have one, it is in a small flat USPS box.

The bag I received from last years buy (second hand) was way bigger than that.

[pixel5]

I was excited until I saw $49 total. No freaking thank you.

[ninjadoc]

I bit and bought one, we'll see if it was worth it or not.

[nubbinator]

Not worth it for me unless someone(s) nearby wanted to split shipping for a pair or someone wanted me to sort out a bag for them, take pics, and send  the "good caps"¹ to them.

¹  Good caps being the ones they want from the pics.

[rowdy]

Trust me, you don't want one.

What, no more sorting videos?

Also ...

Item total:$35.00
Shipping and handling:$31.25
Total:$66.25 USD

No thanks.

[nodnerb]

Was thinking about getting some for my ergodox, but $US66? That's just throwing good money after bad!

Last time I don't think anyone actually got a complete set of keycaps - hence all the WTS/WTB/WTT threads in Classifieds for people trying to complete a set.

[dreamingftw]

Well mine shipped out already, I'll let you guys know if I get anything good.

[Toad1677]

Just order. Hopefully I get a good bag of crap

[jalaj]

Hoping for an @pple key.

[jabar]

Doesn't even say how many are in a bag. Last summer they were, what, $10 or $20 a pop (which is why SP sold out within half a day).

a god damn joke (not that SP needs our business anyway)

They were $25 + $14 shipping.

[reaper]

lol  They used to be called "Grab Bags", now SP has adopted the "Crap Bags" name from Geekhack. 

[SpAmRaY]

I wonder who else would even be interested in these besides geekhackers

[kmiller8]

ilu reaper, give hugs.

[vivalarevolución]

I ordered one.  Good thing that I love organizing and sorting.

[reaper]

ilu reaper, give hugs.

*bro hug*



Hmm... maybe I should get some since I've never gotten any crap bags from them before. lol

I sent this e-mail:

"How many caps are in each grab bag?  Has the number gone up or just the price?"

The response was that there are ~1000 in each bag.

[PointyFox]

I saw these on their site a few days ago for $10 I think, now they're at $35

It was ~1000 last time, so only the price went up. Figures.

They were?!?  That's would almost be worth it, even including shipping to AU.

[SpAmRaY]

I don't believe this, I've been checking their site multiple times daily for the last few weeks, waiting for these to be available.

[MKULTRA]

Gonna be a lot of R4 and DSA Retro ****.

[oaklandishh]

Having a job is nice. Just got two. Thanks for the heads up. Big chunk of change though.

[rowdy]

I found the post from the last crap bag sale in December 2012: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38378.0

Guess who posted it

Price then was $25 for the bag, and shipping to Australia was $50.50, so the bag price has increased, but shipping has decreased.  It actually works out about $11 cheaper this time around.

[Sai]

hmm. shipping is cheaper this time. gonna camp classifieds.  )

[thadood]

Ordered one yesterday. Pricy but whatever, I needs me some extra keys in my life.

[jabar]

7bit asked SP for any R4 leftovers... yes there are some in the picture but I would expect little R4 in these bags.

[Shadovved]

Any chance there'll be a stepped caps lock from for the valentines set?

I'm lacking one if anyone finds one while sifting through the crap, please tell me! )

There's always a chance.

Almost anything could be in there.

Last time someone got the one and only unique KeyPop Smile! prototype keycap!

[danielucf]

Last time there was a lot of unusable crap. With CCnG, Klaxon, Raindrop, DSA Retro, R4, Sanctuary, ErgoDox caps, and some of the other group buys there may be a good majority of nice keys for people to start trading in hopes of completing some full set.

Last time there was a lot of DS white on black keys, random modifiers and larger PoS keys that would not fit a standard keyboard.

But yes, there is the potential for a smattering of halfway useful keys this time
