Round 3 Moogle Kit Group Buy
Now with add-ons and smokey Dolch flavor!
STATUS: SORTING AND PACKING
I'm going to be out of town for a week starting Tuesday 10 April. I'll be back the following Monday. My Internet access during my trip will very likely be limited, so expect my responsiveness to PMs and orders to be patchy. I plan to start collecting payments shortly after I return.
This is more or less a clone of the order thread OP on geekhack. I don't post a lot here, but I have a ton of positive feedback there.
See the the first post of the geekhack thread for the order list and update history.

ORDERING
Submit your order via this fancy Google form that I made. If you want to change your order, send me a PM.
PRICING
As usual, prices will decrease as we get more orders. Some of the above will probably not get a ton of interest, and thus will be expensive. Nothing will be dropped unless there is no one willing to buy.
The prices below are guestimates based on some numbers I pulled out of a hat: 25 base kits and 10 of everything else. Yes, these prices are expensive. Don't worry about that for now, just order what you want and the popular ones will come down. We should be in the $20 range for the base kits once we hit 50 orders.
And remember that the colors have separate pricing tiers. Sad but true.
To help overcome the sticker shock, here is a table of estimated prices for each kit at each tier up to 75. A few things to note:
In addition to the cost of the keys, there will be a materials fee added to each order to cover fixed costs like shipping from SP, bubble mailers, and the Enter prototype.
Rather than try to bake these costs into the price of the keys, I will spread them evenly across everyone once orders are closed. I expect this fee will end up being less than $3 per order.
Payments must be made via Paypal unless you work out something special with me. Paypal seller fees will be included in the materials fee.
SHIPPING
Your keys will ship from the San Francisco Bay area. Standard shipping means a small bubble mailer that will fit at most three base kits. Priority shipping means a USPS flat rate box.
If your keys get lost or damaged in the mail I will do what I can to mitigate, but there are no guarantees.

Code: Select all
BASEKIT FULLMOD ISOADAPT ANTICAPS 15MOD ISOSHIFT STEPCAPS SPACEBAR BLANKMOD BACKSLASH
Black $19 $19 $19 $29 $26 $11 $7 $3 $6 $7
White $15 $16 $10 $29 $37 $11 $7 $2 $3 $6
Dolch $18 $19 $19 $29 $37 $11 $10 $3 $4 $10
To help overcome the sticker shock, here is a table of estimated prices for each kit at each tier up to 75. A few things to note:
- I am not committing to these prices
- They are guesstimates of the future price breaks, posted in order to help people order more freely without panicking over the current (high!) prices
- Since some sets share keys and thus influence each other's prices, real pricing as we hit these breaks will be different (very likely lower)
- To generate this table, I looked at each kit in isolation, so some of the prices are different than what I posted above
I don't have quotes from Melissa for the base kit below 25 orders
