While I would also like to get more keys, I doubt Massdrop will do it.
Is there any presedence for them adding stuff to super successul drops? If they do it now, they'd have to do it for all upcoming ones...
well this is the first buy of its kind with massdrop
so the presedence doesnt need to be considered
a normal buy with massdrop would be this
a manufacturer contacts massdrop or massdrop contact them, they have designed and made a product, and they agree to sell the product to massdrop at a certain price, lowering this price based on whatever numbers massdrop can sell, up to whatever there lowest point is where they still make whatever amount of money it is the manufacturer wants to make, by buying in bulk, massdrop can order goods cheaper from the supplier and pass those savings on to the end user, for massdrop facilitating this, they add on whatever percentage it is they want to add on to the cost of the goods
that being said, they have also started doing a couple of more traditional gbs, with sp, but even those dont directly translate to this, sp price breaks are very early on, and once you get above 150 orders of a kit, the pricebreaks are negligible, often being closer to cents than dollars on an already very cheap purchase to begin with
with gmk, the pricedrops are much larger, as the business model is geared to bigger orders, also comparatively to sp, particularly with this buy, it is very difficult to add on to it, if someone wants an add on with sp, it requires both little effort and or money to accomplish it, with this, we are talking about adding a handful of keys, at the 1000 price point, it would cost about 2-3 dollars a set at most, which i understand adds up, thatll be 2000-3000 dollars, however, we have broken price points, that far exceed that amount of money, however for us as a community to add those keys, it would cost closer to 10 dollars a set, even if we could get 500 orders, and even if they agreed to lower the custom colour MOQ
its common sense to add them at this stage, and it would be a show of good faith on the part of massdrop to do it, although costing them slightly more money, to show the support and respect they have for a community working hard to make them money
