GMK Mini packs (completed)

[whiteduck]

increased order!~

[rowdy]

Completely random colours, and I predict a GMK space bar trade thread appearing around the time these ship.

You live in Australia, & I live in Australia. We're trading mate.

Depending on what colours I get, you might have to fight my daughter for them

[rao2100]

Increased order.

[YongJK]

Spacebars - 350/400

We can do it !!!

[bueller]

Doubled my space-bar order. No idea what I'm going to do with 20 space-bars but what the hell, it's GMK!

[IvanIvanovich]

You spacebar fiends! OK we are more than good on spacebars... now we need to get the rest of them to MOQ!

Can you proceed with spacebars first once it reach MOQ ?
Btw could you help me check how many spacebars I ordered?
I might increase.

[IvanIvanovich]

Spacebars already passed MOQ and then some. We will see what else makes MOQ if any by 1 January and I will decide how to proceed. I really would like to see other items make it not only some spacebars.
YongJK you have 5 ordered currently.

By ordering 5 does that means I will get 5 units of 6.25 and 7, total of 10 ?
Does the color comes in pair? (6.25 + 7)

[IvanIvanovich]

Right you get one of each size so with order 5 you will get 5 6.25 and 5 7x total 10 spacebars. Color will be random any, I will just take them out of box and place in your order package. You could end up with 10 different colors or many of same.

It sounds interesting 
Could you make me 10 instead of 5 then?
So it would be 20 in total (6.25 + 7)

[Caaaarrrt]

Order submitted. Hopefully more than just spacebars will make it, the other packs look awesome.

[TheHydroMule]

I'm guessing there is no chance for me to get 2 of the stepped caps lock in the "MODIFIER Retro"? What if I found someone that wanted to swap out the stepped for a normal caps lock?

might jump in for 3 (so 6) space bars as well if I can get 2 stepped instead...

Edit: Just realized the low number for MOD retro. hopefully that makes it up.

[IvanIvanovich]

Sets would come as shown. If I knew it wouldn't make me crazy I would allow substitutions, but I think it would make the packing job 1000% more difficult if I have to keep track of a bunch of special requests. Those sort of things best to just trade amongst yourselves.

[noisyturtle]

I can't believe the ESC pack doesn't have more orders

ah right for some reason I thought you guys received the caps all in one box and had to separate them yourselves, which does seem crazy now, sorry haha. Alright hopefully someone semi-local orders one and would want to trade. Thanks for the quick reply.

I can't believe the ESC pack doesn't have more orders

ya, seems nice and cheap too. I'll probably buy a couple sets but can't place the order just yet as I wanna know how much money I have left over at the end of the month..

[bueller]

I can't believe the ESC pack doesn't have more orders

Yeah I ordered a pack just to add to the collection but I'm guessing people aren't crazy on the colors.

[IvanIvanovich]

Each key comes in it's own big sack, then I have to put them together in their intended packs. If every pack is the same it makes it a lot easier, since I then take a complete sorted pack and place it in the order.
I strongly doubt you would have much trouble trading fulltouch for stepped caps lock. I'm fairly certain more people really use fulltouch.

Esc pack is CMY colors... I don't know how people don't want like 37 of them. Best color combos ever.

[HoffmanMyster]

I want to modify my order but I don't remember what I ordered the first time around.  Could you either post it here or PM me?

[bueller]

I'm probably the last person that should be commenting because I've never been a huge CMY fan but I do think they would look a little bit better if they had white legends.

I love CMY and personally I like the rotated legend colors, or whatever you might call it.   

I think I need to buy more of those.

It is the second highest ordered, and still not even half way.

yup I understand thanks for clearing up the confusion I had though.

and ya I think it'll be quite easy to find people to trade

[Puddsy]

Considering this is the only GB I'm invlolved in in Jan., I may buy another 6-7 ESC packs

we'll have to see

[Dubsgalore]

Once this hits moq and is produced, people will want the hell out of them

[Puddsy]

Happens with almost every GB.

[IvanIvanovich]

That's true... we need to start getting that in reverse or something... everyone wants it in the buy then hates it after... works for me )
It for sure happened a lot with the last GMK buy I ran, lots of people were sad they missed once it was over. Same with those Irish dyesubs set on my last buy... yet only like 10 people ordered those, now very in demand. I come up with the sexy, you just need to trust me and put in the order.

[Puddsy]

I just wish people stopped waiting until the GB has like 2 hours left.

[Dubsgalore]

If everyone who ordered cmyk...was told that there was a new cmy esc pack...then...

[bueller]

Sometimes I wonder whether having longer ordering times actually helps or hurts the GB. So many people seem to think that it's a good idea to leave their order till the last minute, makes gauging interest impossible.

[IvanIvanovich]

Should I email bomb everyone that has ever bought in one of my groupbuys 

Next time, I will make a 1 day order deadline start to close...

I'd love/hate you so hard for doing either of those things.

Sorry mate I didn't mean that as a dig at you.

[Dubsgalore]

I feel like personally I don't wait at all, I take a little time deciding if I want in or not. But it's very hard with these types of groupbuys, there isn't much you can do

[domoaligato]

For people that do not check geekhack daily for new groupbuys, the longer ordering period allows time for them to find it.
I missed (DOLCH) because I did not have the time to browse this site as much. ( and because sherryton won't take paypal     )

[bueller]

It'd be awesome if we kept signup stats for each GB. I'd like to see what percentage of people follow through with orders and see how many people drop out vs. signup with the longer ordering times. Never used Google Docs before, do they expose any sort of API for stats on forms?

[IvanIvanovich]

HAHAHAHA I use the devil 'sinister' face, as in I'm going to be naughty and you guys... )

[bueller]

HAHAHAHA I use the devil 'sinister' face, as in I'm going to be naughty and you guys... )

lol I don't envy you mate, any GB is a massive undertaking but when you consider GMK's MOQ it just makes it all that much harder.

[dante]

in for a space bar =)

So very, very true.   

[noisyturtle]

Yeah, if all the other packs fall through and it winds up being just GMK random color spacebars I'll have to change my order to 10 of those.

[rowdy]

I wonder if everything except space bars and Esc packs are dropped?

[IvanIvanovich]

I'm open to suggestions on anything I can do to improve the other sets to get more interest without making price skyrocket.

[TheHydroMule]

ALRIGHT, I get it guys ...lol... In for 3 ESC sets and 3 space bars sets, not too sure on MOD retros yet.

Also is there an idea on shipping time frame? As i have 2 addresses to ship to and dont know where I'll be until closer to the date

[IvanIvanovich]

Well we have to make the MOQ first, if that happens on the current propsed close date production time probably 2-4 week + another week or so for me to ship. You can always update address any time. Put TBD+country in address is also acceptable, it make me check prior to shipping to verify for current.

[tbc]

I suspect that many people simply didn't realize their pre space bar and post spacebar orders weren't merged.  Is that something that is likely Ivan? 

[dustinhxc]

Damn if it was a GMK Purple spacebar id get it forsureeeeeee.

[pichu23]

Damn if it was a GMK Purple spacebar id get it forsureeeeeee.

There is a purple colour space bar.

[dustinhxc]

There is a purple colour space bar.

I know but its a random color, not willing to take those odds. wait or do you get ALL those spacebar colors for $4 thatd be a steal.

Oh the irony, haven't you got a ton of clacks?
