Krytox GPL 200 [All have finally arrived]

[The_Ed]

All have finally arrived

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spoiler:

I want to try some Krytox GPL 200, but there is a minimum order of 6...

Dear Sir,
We do not have GPL200 in stock. I checked with DuPont and the lead time is 4-6 weeks. Minimum order 6 tubes.

The price for a 2 ounce tube will be ~$38.50 if the price is the same as the other Krytox greases.

So if at least 5 other people want to try some with me I'll be able to order some. 4-6 weeks is probably a gross overestimate to cover their asses, but we would have to be ready to wait if that's how long it takes.

No hard feelings if I'm the only one who wants to try 200.

The list: (L = local pickup, U = USA, I = International)
The_Ed - L - PAID - SHIPPED - RECEIVED
mintberryminuscrunch - I - PAID - SHIPPED - RECEIVED
Icarium - I - PAID - SHIPPED - RECEIVED
rindorbrot - I - PAID - SHIPPED - RECEIVED
pasph - I - PAID - SHIPPED - RECEIVED
webwit - I - PAID - SHIPPED - RECEIVED
Acanthophis - I - PAID - SHIPPED - RECEIVED
xauser - I - PAID - SHIPPED - RECEIVED
jcrouse - U - PAID - SHIPPED - RECEIVED
Acetrak - U - PAID - SHIPPED - RECEIVED
2 Index - U - PAID - SHIPPED - RECEIVED
inlikeflynn - L - PAID -> Halverson - PAID - RECEIVED
BimboBB - I - PAID - SHIPPED - RECEIVED

Spoiler:

Bad news for international people. USPS has raised the postage to $12.75! I have had to adjust the price accordingly. There is nothing I can do about it.

(L = local pickup, U = USA, I = International)
L - $43.50 (Cash - No shipping or paypal fees - inlikeflynn)
U - $49.50 ($95 for 2 - Index) - USPS first-class with tracking/delivery confirmation
I - $59

DO NOT PAY GIFT!

[mintberryminuscrunch]

if this stuff is worth the money, I'm in

[The_Ed]

Just need 4 more people and I'll order some. I like my 205, but I think I would like 200 better as it is less viscous in the spec sheets.

[Ian S]

If you're buying it specially, isn't 103 the one to get? Or is that not available?

[The_Ed]

100-107 are oils and I would NOT recommend them for use in MX switches as they run out of the switches. 200-207 are greases that stay where you put them. Just because some Koreans like 103 doesn't mean it's the best one. I am specifically looking to get some 2 ounce tubes of Krytox 200, and none of the other ones at this point in time.

[Icarium]

I'm interested. Can we also buy the 100 stuff for the same quota? In that case I could take two.

[rindorbrot]

I'd be interested, too.

[Ian S]

My concern also was that the oil would run out of the switch. However grease tends to wipe away from the rubbing faces and stay away whereas oil may creep back onto the bearing faces. Grease may 'squelch' at the ends of the switch travel and it's viscosity may be detectable by finger tips though the MX switches are quite lose. I've used thicker grease instead of oil on tighter tolerance parts and had to take it off as it stopped the parts sliding.

I'll watch with interest for the results of your experiment

[The_Ed]

Alright so that's Me, mintberryminuscrunch, Icarium, and rindorbrot. We just need 2 more people now.

This groupbuy is just for 200 right now. If it is successful you might be able to persuade me to get some others.

The oils won't 'creep' back up onto the sides of the switches. I tried 106 in my sticking cruise control and it ran through the entire steering wheel and came out a seam in the bottom. My hands then distributed it all over the wheel and it has been sticky all year as every hot day a little bit more came out... I will only use the greases now as they have (so far) stayed where I put them. 205 feels a lot better than 100 and 106 as well, and I expect 200 to be even better.

You don't have to watch for the results of this 'experiment', you could be a part of it.

[pasph]

I'm in

[webwit]

Me too.

[The_Ed]

Order cutoff - January 7

The list:
The_Ed
mintberryminuscrunch
Icarium
rindorbrot
pasph
webwit

Edit: Remember that ~$38.50 doesn't include the shipping.

[Acanthophis]

Still a spot open for me?

[The_Ed]

Of course, I'll order however many people want.

[Acanthophis]

Great, put me up, please.

[The_Ed]

I already did up in the OP. I can just imagine the post office now... "Are there any liquids, perishables, or hazardous materials inside?" - "Uhhh... No..."

[webwit]

Just blush and say there's lubricant in there.

[The_Ed]

Not gonna happen... Plus my face is always slightly red, especially when I'm thinking, frustrated, gaming, or taking a shit.

[TheProfosist]

Add me to the list plz

[The_Ed]

Add me to the list plz

Done.

Hello,

if possible, please order one Krytox GPL 200 for me as well! That would be great, thank you!

Kind regards
xauser

Also done.

[The_Ed]

...I just realized that some people might have to pay up front as it might end up being over $500 in lube soon...

[damorgue]

I can see the paypal dispute now:
-So why did you get all these payments?
-I was going to share lubrication.
-?

[The_Ed]

Why would there be a paypal dispute if everyone pays as goods? It's when people pay as gift that there are disputes.

[mintberryminuscrunch]

I think he was joking
just do prepayments as usual

[The_Ed]

2 more days 'till the cutoff on the 7th when I ask for an invoice. After I get the invoice I'll divide the original shipping to me among the orders and add on the shipping to your respective countries before having you all pay.

EDIT: Upon looking at where you're all from it is almost exclusively Germany

[jcrouse]

Please count me in for a quantity of one also.

Thanks,
John

[TheGrey]

Count me in for one. I'm assuming this is gonna be the bees knees.

[The_Ed]

You've both been added. Only 1 day left people, don't miss your chance.

[Index]

I'm in for 2 =).

[mintberryminuscrunch]

how are you going to do it.
two rounds of payment?( first item, second taxes and shipping)
