Wait a bit until I throw out people who did not pay.

Thanks!! If it possible, I'll buy it with RETRO/ALPHA/GREY.

I need an update how nmuch had been paid by whom. Once I've got this, I will ask everybody who did not pay if they are still interested. If there is no response I throw them out.

Payments for 07/15 to 07/20 - (kvad your $5.58USD payment came after the payments were processed and will appear on the next report.)

Christopher Rosario, you didn't include your Invoice ID or GH/DT username so we have no way to know what invoice to put your payment on. PM me your Invoice Number, GH or DT username and for verification, your email address, the amount you paid and the date you paid it. (for your ref: $XXX.38. USD)
[Edit: Christopher, 7bit sent me your Invoice Number, but I haven't processed your payment yet. It may not go in until the next round. Watch your Invoice for updates in the next few days. Let me know if you don't see the update by Friday. Next time please include "R4 0000 username" using your invoice number and GH username in the Paypal notes. Thanks.]

John Fourth, is "John Fourth" your GH/DT username? I hope the bot recognizes you. You bought a lot of keys.
[Edit: John, 7bit says this is okay. Please just use your GH username next time though. Thanks.]

Everyone, in the notes (not just the subject) of your Paypal payment, please put this and only this:
R4 0000 username

where "0000" is your invoice ID # and "username" is your GH or DT username. No extra text before or after those three items. This goes to a bot that does not read English and does not need to be thanked.

Using that format is thanks enough.

Okay, here the list (*** Christopher, yours will not be processed until you send me your invoice ID and username *and verification information* so no one else has your payment put on their invoice, not that anyone would but I don't take chances. ** John, let me know if your invoice is not up to day by Monday, I fear that the space between "John" and "Fourth" may trip up the bot.)

07/15 bujah, $xx.19 USD
07/16 febriz, $xxx.98 USD
07/16 JSchool, $xxx.92 USD
07/16 Salisen, $xx.96 USD
** 07/16 John Fourth, $xxx.82 USD
07/17 blighty, $xx.15 USD
07/17 bnp70kr, $xx.81 USD
07/17 ts4z, $xxx.22 USD
07/18 Wibox, $xx.48 USD
07/18 ejsteven, $xx.91 USD
07/19 gimpster, $x.21 USD
07/19 gbohn, $xxx.77 USD
07/19 ms264556, $xxx.00 USD
07/19 komar007, $xxxx.12 USD
07/20 kvad, $xxx.00 USD
07/20 kimtj, $xx.46 USD

*** 07/xx Christopher, $xxx.38 USD

I'm posting these payment update lists here for your reference as a curtesy. Please provide the requested information where I've pointed out issues with your payments.

*Note: When I process your payment I mark them in Paypal as "Mark as Shipped". Paypal has been known to lock accounts where "Goods" payments are not marked as shipped within a certain amount of time. Since these GBs take so long, to avoid your payments being frozen up by Paypal, I mark them as shipped. Paypal will send you an email saying your order has been marked as shipped. * The shipping company will show as "7bit" and the "tracking number" will be your invoice number and username.
Note: Your actual caps order has not shipped yet. The orders will ship after SP manufactures them, sends them to 7bit and he will ship them to you and notify you of the actual ship date and tracking information.

Thank you guys for your timely payments. Order up the rest of these caps!

nntnam · 21 Jul 2012, 17:37

I like the way you work, mergnin. Very clear and detailed. Thanks for your hard work. Hope this GB will have a happy ending

Thanks to 7bit for running this GB! These caps are awesome. I can't wait to get them.

John Fourth is my username on Deskthority and Geekhack.

I paid everything on July 16, 2012, but didn't get an invoice yet that says the balance is $0.00. I did receive the "More details on your shipment" from you via paypal. Am I good?

Thanks,
John

Excuse the newbie question but will the retro keycaps be available again some time in the future? I'm rather new to the high-level mechanical world and still have to decide on a new keyboard worthy of those beauties.
Also, will there be real life photos of them?

7bit · 22 Jul 2012, 17:03

If I ever runs a key caps group buy again, I doubt these will be available. However, others might offer similar or the same style in a future group buy.

Imo, the best would be if you order the caps you desire.
First: Like 7bit said, these won't be produced again in the near future. And second: Since money is still collected, the keys won't be shipped within the next weeks. And I could bet that you will have (at least

) one decent keyboard to put these on by the time the keys get shipped to you.

kvad · 22 Jul 2012, 17:45

Ai, already paid, but any chance I could add 1x SPH/REDESC ?
Been watching other group buys and always found it strange how people where changing around on their orders... and here I am : )

nntnam · 22 Jul 2012, 19:00

^ Yes, you can always change your order even if you paid the invoice.

Cheers! I just saw that my preferred choices are already sold out. I will think about one of the alternatives then.

May I inquire as to what exactly the difference between RETRO/TENKLESS and RETRO/TKL and the like are? I could not find specific information on the Wiki.

MadScienitst46 · 22 Jul 2012, 19:13

For the difference between TENKLESS and TKL:
http://deskthority.net/wiki/Doubleshot_ ... ts_Round_4 [look at 4.3 and 4.4]
Basically, TENKLESS has some extra keys to fit a Noppoo Choc mini and other keyboards....

@ nntnam, 7bit: Superb, thanks guys!

Yes, I think you are good. I don't know when 7bit runs the bot or if it's automatic. Check it tomorrow. (Monday)

I thought I sent u a pm on the 16th this month about it =(. Guess u didn't receive it?? Sent you another one.

The day when Signature Plastics declares bankruptcy because they never got the money for Round 4 production.

waffl · 24 Jul 2012, 20:05

Just to notify you, I sent in my payment

I hope the bank transfer goes through before the order is cleared (2 days left before the stated 7 day deadline).

I would also really love to get in on a set of Round3 TKL should there be any leftovers!

damorgue · 24 Jul 2012, 20:10

So the longer it takes to collect money, the more I will order because I am restless and more payments have to be made, which delays it further.

You got yourself quite the never ending influx of cash there.

It is a trap I tell you, A TRAP!

The additional delay is negligible. The caps need to be ordered. Just keep ordering.

The delay is more like that not everybody pays who should pay.

Any US resident willing to help collection money?

Yes, please. Someone volunteer to help collect money. It's not that difficult and it will keep this GB moving. I'll have to stop soon as I'm nearing the limit before Paypal has to file the payments with the IRS. The GB will be dead until someone else starts collecting money or until after January 1st and I can start under a new year.

JSchool · 25 Jul 2012, 16:06

How is it done? I don't want to be responsible for other peoples' money but I want my keycaps.

I sent you more moniez BTW. And I know I'm gonna break down and reorder SPH again.
