Please remind that SSK is always out of stock and the package will go to the EU directly. (Ship by the vendor.) Soo.... Please find a guy in the EU who has no problem with custom and have a low import tax rate.

Muirium · 23 May 2013, 17:41

SSK! Nooooooo! The one thing I want the most of all in this entire shop.

A Model F meanwhile…

Edit: Dibs on an SSK if he has them.

"SPACE"!

dondy · 23 May 2013, 18:26

wow, this is so tempting, there seem to be great prices all over...

but what would the shipping be in the end? :[

ne0phyte · 23 May 2013, 18:35

It says 4 available! http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 3642278402

I want one if he really has some in stock :O

Muirium · 23 May 2013, 18:37

If they are indeed available: DIBS!

Also: perhaps these are the MX Blues I'm looking for:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?scm=100 ... id=&pm_id=

Are these dark greys?
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=201 ... id=&pm_id=

Muirium · 23 May 2013, 18:44

The SSK, according to Google Translate:

squatting spring axis mechanical keyboard temporarily out of stock

Awesome name! But I think tinlong's right about their unavailability.

photekq · 23 May 2013, 21:52

Might be interested in this http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 4397493969 if I can gather the funds.

Any word on how much shipping will cost? Will everything ship directly to tinlong or matt3o and then be distributed?

these are blue indeed

Muirium wrote: Are these dark greys?

they seem white actually even though google translate says "green axis"...

Muirium · 23 May 2013, 22:25

Green switches, white switches, even tough dark grey switches all sound good to me. So much stuff worth looking at here.

Anyone got a table of import taxes by European country? I strongly doubt Britain will be any good, in any case.

Grond · 23 May 2013, 23:16

They have some Vortex products, but I could not find Alu cases. Do they have them?

KennyR · 24 May 2013, 01:36

Depending on the shipping cost, I call dibs on this: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 2645976247

bugsaint · 24 May 2013, 01:56

Darn it, I had my eye on that!

matt3o · 24 May 2013, 08:16

I've updated the OP with the order list so far. Please when you want to place your order state it clearly. Tinlong will ask for the final cost including shipping and you will be able to cancel your order at any time.

A proxy in DE would be ideal as shipping seems pretty inexpensive from there. Shipping from UK is a bit costly, customs tax in SE seems a bit high, so I'd avoid those if possible. Shipping a keyboard up to 2kg from IT is €22. Smaller packages up to 1kg are 17€ (€12 for 500gr). Bubble wrap €5-9 depending on weight, all prices are for registered mail. Please give your availability if you are willing to proxy this mini GB.

Muirium · 24 May 2013, 11:28

Like KennyR, I'm wary about shipping. But count me as provisional on these:

IBM Model F PC-AT keyboard
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=7245387340

If any of the IBM Model M SSK's do in fact show up, I would very much like one!
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=3642278402
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=3541695980

And the Kinesis Maxim
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=7312326334

Of all these, it's the SSK I want the most!

Kurk · 24 May 2013, 11:34

I'm also interested in the model F PC-AT board. Muirium comes first, of course.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 7245387340

Muirium · 24 May 2013, 11:42

Only just!

There's several Model Fs and Ms actually, but only one F PC-AT. I'd gladly surrender it if the SSKs show up though.

dirge · 24 May 2013, 11:50

There were some GB cherry doubleshot caps with light mods, we looked at them a while back. If they are still available I'd love a set.

dirge · 24 May 2013, 12:01

Could go for a kinesis board too

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 6162823983

and that for someone that wanted one.

photekq · 24 May 2013, 12:02

What do you guys think of these? http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 4397493969

Can't tell whether the photo's bad or whether the pad printing on the lock keys is wearing off..

Muirium · 24 May 2013, 12:05

Pencil me in for the blue…
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?scm=100 ... id=&pm_id=

…and white / green mystery switches.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=201 ... id=&pm_id=

For about a fiver for a keyboard's worth of each, I'm not complaining.

matt3o · 24 May 2013, 12:11

I've updated the original post with all your orders.

I'd say it's just a bad photo.

Muirium wrote: …and white / green mystery switches.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=201 ... id=&pm_id=

they are not definitely green

Muirium · 24 May 2013, 12:17

They are also definitely not brown or black, which is absolutely fine by me. Whites and clears are both nice switches. Even a bunch of ±dark greys I could find a use for. A finger exercise machine!?

Wonder what this seller will think when he receives a group buy for half of his entire shop?

Paranoid · 24 May 2013, 12:28

Weren't you looking for this kind of keyboard matt3o?
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 2140824937

I'm interested in this:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=201 ... id=&pm_id=

And perhaps even this:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 8067046162

Of course depending on how much it will all cost in the end.

I would've bought this one if the price wasn't so high. Damn nice caps!

Thank you.
