Ragnarok, is the GB for red alerts still on?

2. It was poorly executed knock off that is far inferior to the original.

Is it honestly that hard for someone to come up with their own ideas?

Feng said something about those keys on GH, but I don't remember exactly.

I believe the author already made some of those in 2009 and asked CC before doing them.

BUT I M NOT SURE :s.

I don't know why there is a fuss. The skull is a pretty common theme. I don't think that Halloween costumes have been "ripping off" CC all this time. There was another group buy for aluminum key caps that included several versions of dragons and a skull with crossed swords. Seems like there was another skull in that group as well. Sure, it's going to have some resemblance. All skulls have two big eye holes, a nose hole and a set of upper teeth of some sort. Other than the fact that they are both skulls, I don't see much resemblance at all. Both designs are good. I think I like the fangs and somewhat less humanoid looking skull a little bit more, though.

One thing is for certain... My dog is not going to chew this thing up!

I was able to buy some clickclacks here for a pretty nice price.

Jesus! $6.49 USD each. I ordered 10!

Rather than flood this thread or forum, I created a post here.

As stated earlier, yes absolutely. The order was already submitted to SP and everything I need for running the group buy is backed up on my computers. Even if everything was completely gone from Geekhack, which it isn't, everything would proceed as planned. However if you are asking about whether I am still accepting orders, the group buy closed weeks ago. I am now taking pre-orders for the limited leftovers I have. Wait till GeekHack is back up for those though, since they just went up for sale right before it got hacked.

Cheers,
Dave

I sent a payment to someone with the email adress XXX. Does someone know which groupbuy that was?

sheraton replies on the nyan cat gb:

Yeah. Nyan Cat Group Buy will be up soon. If you're from Korea, then there was a group buy done through Korean forum. We might have to update everything through our website for now. We will update it shortly. We'll send out a mass e-mail tonight to all our customers through Portal, KMAC, and Nyan Cat Group Buy. It will introduce all the new stuff as well such as LZ87, Wooden wrist rests, and more. I hope you stay tune for this stuff! Keep in touch with us please!

Best Regards,
Sher

Just where did you get this information. Last thing I see from boost said he was still waiting for a few payments. I offered to jump in and pick someones up if they did not pay or he needed more orders.

Thanks,
John

Please keep us, who have already paid, informed, if you can.

Can somebody teach amrod how group buys with sp work please?

Because he just filed a dispute for keycaps I received two days ago.

JUST what I needed. Do me a favor and don't join any future group buys if you're going to pull this shit again.

WTF ... Why in hell would anyone do such a thing? That is unbelievable. As I sit here this morning sending out emails trying to get people to follow a chain of command ...

In his (very light) defense, he did try to figure out (and got that attempt whiffed away, partly by yours truly) who he would be filing against... about 5 hours ago.

That's terrible! Users like that can really ruin one's day... or week.

Edit: if anyone wants to take my miami set order, PM me! Not completely sure if I still want it, but i'll pay up if no one wants to take it up.

Sorry, but I sent an email to all the people I have sent money to with the simple question if the GB will continue or not and everyone except you answered something like "yup, no probs mate". You answered "Which group buy are you talking about" and I got nothing in reply after I answered you that I am not sure which one it was. That was yesterday.

And I tried to find out who the user/groupbuy was called. But the email adress got deleted and no one was able to tell me.

Today I filled in a dispute on paypal since there wasn't any answer on my question and it didn't even take 15 minutes and I got an email from someone being upset. Sorry dude, the only thing I wanted to know was a yes or no. I can try to cancel the dispute.

It was updated in this thread. Reaper posted the pictures within the first pages.

And excuse me for being busy and not replying within seconds.

You emailed me asking if I was going to send you keycaps or a refund. I don't know emails, names and screen names by heart. I'm running two group buys so that's why I asked what you were talking about.

Sorry just got back from vacation/wedding and I'm still drunk. Lol

Miami gb is dead as more ppl dropped out while I was away.

I will be sending emails out along with refunds starting today.

Please check your paypal email address and add bbkpits4@gmail.com to your address book and or white list. The emails will be automated.

Thanks and sorry this didn't work out, maybe we can start this up at a later time.


The geekhack gb is still alive and will post it here later today.

One thing to take away from that regarding keyboard community groupbuys,
(and perhaps the communities in general he whispers to himself)
is that patience is a virtue, yet kind of expected from all involved.

I closed the dispute. Hope thats ok.

Anyway, packages are ready to ship. Packed up everything last night till almost midnight. But I'm super busy at work (double shifts >.>) so I'll get it out as soon as I get a chance. Hope you guys understand.

I for one understand...120 Billiards orders almost done, and the Hammer/Pi keys are coming in later this week!

At least the hammer/pi keys are only 9 pounds of keys unlike the billiards 11 pounds

Oh that sucks on the Miami GB. I was really looking forward to such a different color scheme.

Ty boost for the update

I pm'd boost and he said that it was canceled and that he would be refuding the people who paid....

fair enough, did just not enough people who said they wanted a set pay?

5 of the 12 unpaid dropped out. That killed the gb

I got my Wyse Moogle kits from Quarzac the other day, and today I received both my Billiards doubleshots from i3oilermaker and my hundreds of MX switches from 7bit! It's like Christmas in July here. I'll make sure to send positive feedback around once GH is alive again.

I'm looking for updates for CC&G and Oneproduct's aluminum poker cases. Guys?
