    Let me know if you are committing guys because I'll be asking for money after placing the order. ;)

    If there are 7 of us it'll be just shy of £15 each for four bags total.

    I think I'll draw the line at 10pm tonight and then place the order; if however we have 8 confirmed buyers before 10pm I think I'll draw a line under that and seal the deal. Even 7 people is pretty good going to be honest.

    There are going to be A LOT of keycaps changing hands on bit-tech in January/February. LOL. :D

    Sorry guys, going to opt out, there are other things that need my money at the moment, especially with the GMK GB coming up. Thanks anyway Lenny. :)

    No probs mate - there'll be plenty of us either selling or giving away keycaps so you won't miss out altogether. Let me just update the list and double check who we have onboard.

    Here's the group buy as it stands, with seven committed participants:

    LennyRhys (committed)
    Spreadie (committed)
    mrMonkeyChunks (committed)
    MSHunter (committed)
    adrock (committed)

    TheDodoKiller
    KidMod-Southpaw
    mark1903 (committed)
    fuus (committed)


    I'm quite happy with seven people, which works out at approx 570 keycaps each for approx £15, depending on paypal's exchange rate and any fees incurred. If nobody else signs up in the next short while I'll go ahead with the purchase and then sort out payment with those involved.

    PLEASE NOTE

    There will probably be a customs/handling charge to the tune of around £15 or £20 when the keycaps reach the UK, however money for this can be settled later when I sort out domestic postage. I don't expect this extra cost to exceed £5 per person, which takes the grand total to £20 each.

    As I said before, I will not be doing any sorting of the keycaps; they will be counted for equal and fair distribution and then promptly sent to the buyers.

    I will post in this thread once payment has been made and then I will expect reimbursement from each of you at your earliest convenience!

    I'll be in 100%. £20 is a bit more than I was intending, and I don't really want 500, but nevermind. Life's too short. Unless I'm throwing a spanner in the works. It's not essential, so if it buggers anything you can count me out if necessary.

    OK the total came to £103 ish... let me just confirm it - still hasn't appeared in my paypal transactions yet, but I did get a receipt in USD.

    Note: the email address in this receipt is where you should send your money - it's my wife's account and the name is Isabel Stone. :thumb:

    Please send a group PM to us all when you finalise exactly how much you want from each of us to cover your costs :)

    Thanks for doing this Lenny!

    No probs ;) Total amount is £103.75 so let's call it £12.95 each.

    TheDodoKiller, just pay what you want - if it's £10, then I'll calculate a proportionate quantity of keycaps and keep the remainder.

    PM will be sent shortly.

    Heh not to worry Margo. :D

    @ adrock yes definitely - I'll probably take high res pics of all the caps when they are counted which will give folks an idea of what's available.

    So far I have received payment from fuus, adrock and mark1903 and have more on the way. Thank you gentlemen :thumb:

    I think if we aim for everyone to get a full set out of what they (we as a collective) have, then that would be sweet! (potentially dreaming)

    lets be honest, you could probably recoup your money if you managed 3 or 4 gamer kits or half a dozen arrow key sets.

    i'm really just curious, if it's truly randomised then the odds of getting full sets must be slim, but if their excess stock is kept in sets then it's potentially awesome.

    I very much doubt you'll get a full set. Our group buys will be quite a small part of all the production they do... plus the odds and ends will be in a massive tub with no change of getting a full set IMO!

    (and I will need most of my 1,000 caps to fill up my cougar attack - matching or not haha)

    Anyone got an idea of what an orange gamer kit is worth at the moment? And would they like to buy it? I received an extra and have no use for it.
