[WTB] 1 MX CC!
« on: Wed, 31 July 2013, 02:54:27 »
Tried getting mx CCs for a year, haven't gotten one before.

Ordered a topre CC off of EK by accident once, resold it at the price I got it for.

I really like CCs, so I'm just trying my luck to get any MX cc that I can place on my board for the price you paid for it. I don't mind paying a little mark up, but I cannot afford to spend $90 for CCs.

Cheers all!

If you do happen to get another Topre CC, you could offer to trade it for an equivalent MX one.

I didn't know that trades= I ship you mine and you ship me yours.

I always believed that people would meet up for trades, and at that point of time I wasn't sure anyone from my country even remotely knew that you could have novelty key caps..
silly me.:/

This, or if you don't trust someone there is always the option of doing three way trades. You both ship items to one (known and trusted) person, pay them a logistics fee, and they send you both your key caps.

BTW, GL finding an MX CC - something under 90 dollars could be a 3D or Hack Orange, maybe even Mint green.

Are you SURE you only want one? That's what I told myself a long time ago.. Let's just say my plans changed after I got my hands on the first one.

It took me nearly a year to get my first CC from a 4grabs.

Then I happend to be in the right place at the right time in Classifieds and snagged a second one.

Have patience - you should get one eventually.

I currently would be very happy to buy a topre skull I don't have for 110$

Good luck with your search

Demik is right, this is just a hobby. Nothing will change if you own 1 or 1000. Collectors have diferent resons to collect stuff. Some people collect tattoos, cards, etc. IMO as long as you are aware that they are just simple items you will be okay.

Thank you for all of your encouraging comments guys ;D

I know that this requires more than just patience; there's a lot to do with luck as well.

I'm just trying to look for alternatives, who knows, I might have a better chance here than on sales.

Cheers!
