Someone just bought 23 gasmasks for $550...

[radio_killah]

Seriously? I can't even fathom why you would do that... 

[nubbinator]

Maybe they really like them?  That's ~$24 a pop, so not horrible, but I hope they enjoy them. 


Or maybe they think they can flip them.

well I think you're right :|

Isn't this like saying I can't imagine why some people have more than 1 keyboard?

[paicrai]

i was getting anxious that i missed out on an army surplus ****in steal then i realised
oh wait
i'm on GH

[iamtootallforthis]

The price per cap was good but they are most likely trying to flip some of them.

[trizkut]

The price per cap was good but they are most likely trying to flip some of them.

Most likely?  They outright said they're planning on selling them for $11 profit per cap 

[tbc]

the buyer got a great deal...

not sure why that's weird.

23 gasmasks or 4 single color clacks.

Money money monayyyy

[Novus]

He can fence those masks for a profit, get a gon and then put his leftovers on it.

Clacks

Or another keyboard or two

But I thought only GHers drove up prices and flipped things for profit.

Didn't see that didn't read through the thread or care enough.

[katushkin]

Maybe a self proclaimed anarchist wants them for rioting?

In the news. 23 armed men wearing gas masks took down a bank and got away with 20 million in cash today.

[radio_killah]

I just thought it was really weird to fork over that much cash for that.. I mean the profit I am sure will be good but damn to just drop have a stack for artisans?

I'm surprised at the demand for the Gasmasks over at Reddit, they don't seem to be nearly as popular here.

Gas masks seem to be more popular, and a hell of a lot of Clack hate. Every time some one posts a photo of their board with one, at least 2 people will jump on the clack hate train.

Reminds me why I unsubbed. I had some Gasmasks when they first came out but they seemed really mass produced which was a bit of a turn off.

[noisyturtle]

That's actually right around FMV so that's not too bad.

Martin is a great guy and pretty much always has a giveaway before every sale. I believe he deserves the popularity that he has.

Oh lol I forgot to add the /s to the end of my post. I got mad respect to all the artisan keycap makers that **** is probably really hard to do, and even harder to do well. But aren't HKP keys and Bro bots for the most part sold at the same price now?

Oh THOSE gasmasks. I thought it was the other type because this was in off topic =/

23 masks for $550 I also thought it's really cheap, I spent thousands on my company to get the right safety standards including gasmasks

[tbc]

the basic breakdown of strengths between them is this:

brocaps:

doubleshot
best fitting stems (other than novatouch incompatibility)
GID
organic sculpting (zombros, stumps, bronads)
way more designs


hotkeys:
VERY accurate lines (yes better than v2s, i've done 'hardcore' macro analysis of both)
modular pieces (yes, people mix and match eyes, mouths, etc)
articulated (for the raven goggles)
extremely easy to get




let's get real.   they're both extremely good artisans and you CAN NOT go wrong with either.

so why not both?

also, yes, i'm being extremely nitpicky in my breakdown above.

The workmanship seems great. Personally I just dont think Hotkeys are that pleasing to the eye.

yeah i was confused too

It's a shame that they are going to flip them.

That deal should have been for someone who really loves them and is trying to 'catch 'em all' ...instead it's just gone to some ******* who's simply pushing them off for a profit.

I don't care if it's a £30 gasmask key or a £200 hella rare click-clack. In a community this small and this tight, its a really ****ty thing to do.

Completely agree. 

[inanis]

I'm not all that into the artisan cap thing, but I do love those Hotkeys Raven caps. How could you not love those tiny little goggles.

People shouldn't flip caps for profit though, that is pretty lame. Then again, I also think that people should take a stand and stop buying them at such inflated prices. It's not like the cap makers are encouraging the flipping. It sounds like they all collectively don't want crazy high resale prices, and yet that is still what happens. Bummer.

Could be someone looking for a few of them and flip the rest, was almost considering it but then I remembered I only really wanted 1 or 2 and can't be bothered to hustle the rest
