If we take a look here at a set run recently which should have been after their supposed price increase, Base kit + ISO + nonstandard + numpad = $150.96 at 100 MOQ (which not every kit even met that MOQ, some of the numbers are abysmal)



That includes Massdrop + designer mark ups in pricing, has significantly more keys involved than my all in 1, has kits split up, and even custom legends novelty and dyesub which cost $45 each, AND includes shipping costs to Massdrop.



The quote I was given from SP was the following:



25 sets $237.61 per set

50 sets $171.32 per set

75 sets $149.23 per set

100 sets $138.18 per set

150 sets $127.13 per set

200 sets $121.61 per set

250 sets $118.29 per set



The set I'm quoting is 138 keys with 2 space bars and 2 blanks, no custom legends, and does not include ANY additional fees, not even shipping to our distributor and then shipping to you guys.



Yet both of our sets are $1/key at 100 MOQ



Hm..........





So dusk was $169 for 130 keys split into 4 different kits, they got it even worse.



Official response was



"Sorry I wasn't clear - Massdrop gets a larger discount because of the overall volume that they purchase from us. We use the same price formula and the same set volume discount scale, Massdrop just has earned a larger discount."



So basically all these GB's we've run giving them money all these years earns us a big **** you.

WELCOME TO FLATLINE













This will be a fully sculpted SA set (1-1-2-3-4-4) with whatever the stock font is. Colors used will be BBJ and NN. It will be all in 1 with as much support for other layouts as I can without jacking up the price too high to be unreasonable. Not sure if there are plans for other kits atm. No novelty keys. F and J are dishes.



If you have questions or suggestions feel free to post.



This will be run old school GB style, no corporate backing and no profit. Just some enthusiasts dedicating some time and love to creating a set the community wants.



Also stayed tuned for some matching Classic Reapers.







NOTE: THE REAPER WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THIS GROUP BUY AND IS A STANDALONE SALE UP TO BRO'S DISCRETION. I am however getting him the SP color swatches of NN and BBJ so it will color match this set

Sadly due to SP's new pricing structure we will have to look at other avenues to have this set produced. Community run SA sets are no longer affordable or reasonable, see belowAs long as you're not buying from Massdrop or PMK so they can make money, it's gonna cost them the same amount of money for them to produce but cost you more to get your set so they can make up for the money they lose out on without marking up the sets.
