Thanks to all of you for taking part!

Oops, obviously I have to revise my list

Edit: you are right, list edited.
(Why did I rely on a computer to make that list? Next time I'll just use a pencil and a sheet of paper)

#30 - 1€ - 7bit - 2.75 Shift + 1.75 Shift, red on light grey
#31 - 3€ - kint - 2.75 Shift + 2.25 Shift, red on white
#32 - 1€ - mintberryminuscrunch - 1.75 Shift, red on white

that still seems off...
but I'll let them fight over it



Again I'll say, great move kbdfr!

LOL!

off has switched off color-recognition and can't distinguish between white and lightgrey!!!

Dunno what you switched off, but...

#30 - 1€ - 7bit - 2.75 Shift + 1.75 Shift, red on light grey
#31 - 3€ - kint - 2.75 Shift + 2.25 Shift, red on white

Don't see any problem, because these are different keys.

Want some?

send:

REBEL/SHIFT275/GREY
REBEL/SHIFT175/GREY
REBEL/TAB/GREY
REBEL/TAB
REBEL/TABTHIN
REBEL/CTRLALT125
REBEL/CTRLALT150/GREY

to 7bit_R4.

They are $2 each.

These specifications from my list of the winners are correct, just checked that again.

But what do I know; perhaps kint is specifically looking for a 2.75/2.25 combo, and let you know that, and you helped him out, iunno.

It's simpler than that: I had three different size keycaps (2.75 + 2.25 + 1.75) in the red on white version, so I checked the ANSI keyboards I own and found out all of them have a right 2.75 and a left 2.25. So I assumed it's the usual layout and put them together

kbdfr wrote:These specifications from my list of the winners are correct, just checked that again.

because

put them together

Well that explains that

Oh, 7b, run your script please
(and how much for rebel/tkl ? )

err... complicated like... well not that difficult like Group buy round 4 for newbs.
Would have been better to put the "two available" sets up with dedicated numbers in advance, because, checked with my list and whilst those numbers (my items) seem to be correct, there's still open questions.

1. #38-1 & #38-2 : fruktstund (38-1 -3€) on 14 Mai 2012, 16:56, kint (38-2 -5€) yest. 18:59. Therefore none for 7bit I guess. [However that was pricey, since I thought I had to overbid someone according to the updated list of kbdfr, yest 11:00 - but since its for a good cause I'll stop being cheap... )

2. regarding the Shift keys: I took that as : #32 "middle sized Shift on white", #30 "large and small on grey", #31 "large and small on white", basically as for the pic row-wise. The correction disturbed me a little, but luckily it seems to be just what I need, a 2.75 right shift.

Now that leads to me missing a tab key. originally not intended I would have a strong need for a red on white one, don't care whether it has thick or thin arrows. So.. just in case...7bit could stand back from one of those I'ld offer 3€ for that ...
and: thanks for organising this...

You are undoubtedly right. I'll know next time

[...] #38-1 & #38-2 : fruktstund (38-1 -3€) on 14 Mai 2012, 16:56, kint (38-2 -5€) yest. 18:59. Therefore none for 7bit I guess.

Here again you are right. I'll edit my list.

Perhaps it would have been better if I had sticked to not wanting to bother myself with updates

The auction is already closed
If you and 7bit figure out a solution for that, just tell me.

Sent PMs to all winners (except kint and 7bit, as I have no info about that tab key issue).

By the way (I should have added this link at the beginning of the auction):

+1

paid... ouch!

off to post in the "You know you have a problem when..." topic...

I'm still wondering why I only bid on one CTRL+ALT set, as the best thing would have been to get two of them. Well well, I'll put them to good use anyway, and I'm glad to contribute to the community, even if it's not much.

What was it I came here to say? Err... Paid!

fruktstund wrote:I'm still wondering why I only bid on one CTRL+ALT set

Yes, told myself the same thing recently, I'm feeling a bit dumb, but anyway, will be good =)

Payment sent,

Thanks for organizing this, and donating the money!

Edit: And when you think you paid too much, just think of the Keycaps as a gift for donating money to Deskthority, makes it much easier to live with it.

Exactly what I told myself when I realised I'd paid €20 for 1 key

Paid
I'm happy that I got a geekhack key with a nice color combo. The rest is only additional. And good to know that I supported deskthority

My precious ... keycaps.

Issue ressolved, Pm sent. This is a nice community !

Really is I don't think I've seen anyone trying to make a profit from others, or be rude/nasty.

With help from others here I've learnt a hell of a lot. Now everyone in the office thinks I'm mad, with a keyboard fettish.

There has been a small delay beyond my command

Now:
- one of the winners has not answered my PM yet;
- I'm sending a PM to those where there's still a need for clarification;
- I'll send all keycaps when everything is clarified and everybody has paid and sent me their address.
- shipping notification with registering number will be sent to everyone.

Nice community it definitely is, but you must've missed some things indeed
and well.... are your colleagues wrong?

off wrote:Nice community it definitely is, but you must've missed some things indeed

I don't think they are wrong, I'm still in the office. Big problems here but still checking this site...

"but you must've missed some things indeed"
only bad thing I've seen on here was glossywhite behaving like a prat...

Update:
The keycaps which have been paid for have been shipped today and PMs sent.

One winner did not pay yet, but contacted me.

Another one did not even answer my PMs, so I now consider his transaction as void.
And as I do not want even more hassle than this auction has already caused,
I decided to just add the white on black Geekhack key (#6)
to the tremendous amount dirge bought (for a lot of money) in this auction.

Thanks very much looking forward to the phantoms arriving when all this will come together

My stuff arrived some minutes ago. Very very well packed.

I'm happy with my purchase

Thx!
