Today
TheFriendlyYeti placed a MechMarket ad feeling out what he could get a Philly Meetup Exclusive Ork for in terms of cash or trade.
Love this cap, since it's my first binge, but would want to see what could tempt me to part ways with it. PM me with very interesting offers, or an obnoxious amount of money (it was made exclusively for the Philly Meetup a week ago). If I'm not mistaken this is the only Ork Trooper made in this colorway.
Folks
jokingly offered him triple what he bought it for.
This is the most rude **** I have ever had the pleasure of stumbling into. Widgie and I spent a good portion of our week leading up to the meet making these keycaps with the intention of making them available for people who wanted them. We offered plenty of stock and gave people lots of choices. It was supposed to be a bit of a luxury, but less than a week later TheFriendlyYeti wants the market to grace him with a bonus for our efforts. He wants meeting my wife and me to give him a profit for "supporting" us.
So to get out any misconceptions about what we expect out of the way. Yes, I am very happy to sell my keycaps at my asking price. No, I do not want to control the prices on my keys in aftermarket within reason. There is no moral high ground I'm standing on but I find this behavior insulting.
I was told it would happen, I could have made these keys available to a world audience and gotten less of a backlash for having a sale that ended so "quickly."
In summary, this is the kind of behavior that really hurts my feelings and my desire to make any exclusive sales. This is the reason I have to not take sides, to limit the amount of special offers I give people, and why any special offers are random as all hell.
Agree with me, disagree with me, but that's it.
