Some shots in my dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sikskrq1gi6g1y3/eGP8Rkp8-g

The W key has a slight issue, that you can probably see from the last shot with flash, other than that I'm satisfied :)

looks to me like the "cream cheese" layer is too thin on the lower part of the key, so you can see a bit of the green from beneath. I can see it in picture 2/7 as well.

Looks great! If I didn't have a self-imposed ban on buying QWERTY sets, I'd have got several. I'm glad this GB happened, as the colour choices were very tasteful.

Nope, I'm too poor atm to fork out $2,000 (Paypal is holding onto ALL my shipping money) to ship them all at once, I am doing labels for some as we speak, and yours happens to be going out for thursday

I'd offer to cover shipping (again) for mine, but I don't know how I'd get you money without using PayPal.

Wasn't a problem till a recent $6,000 expense I had, that plus my current job coming to an end :?

All kinda adds up, so please don't get too mad at me when you still don't have it

Whenever I get more than $100 in paypal, I send it to my checking account. It is much safer there since they can't "hold onto it" (steal it) for 6 months.

Except hasn't paypal been known to take money out of checking accounts when it feels like?

How about running those GBs via Kickstarter projects? I think it could be a good way of preventing paypal derpage.
Also the GB organizers would have everything in one place: Names, Adresses, Contact info, etc.

I feel like that was brought up and shot down already for some reason. Can't remember what the reason was though.

I just did a little more digging and my bank (PNC) participates in a service called popmoney that allows you to transfer money directly to someone else's bank account. Any chance your bank has the same or a compatible service?
