Who Am I?
I’ve been an avid member of geekhack for
about a year now. I have quite a few trades under my belt
and so far no one has complained. I’m in the second batch
for Octagon V2 so I actually don’t even have an Octagon V2
yet. However thanks to certain community members, duckness,
Pemdas, and everyone who participated in the IC, I have been
able to proceed to the GB stage =).
This is my very
first GB and I am still very much a noob at all this, so
please be patient with me. If any of you experienced GB
leaders see me doing something wrong, please feel free to
chime in and set me on the right path.
I am not known
to steal money and I have no warrants out for my arrest. But
like anything on the internet, BUYER BEWARE.
What?
This
is a metal weight insert for
Duck Octagon V2 keyboards ONLY. You will
have the choice of either
Brass or Stainless steel,
with Duck Octagon engraved on it or a blank plate. All
plates will come polished.
This is only applicable for those who ordered the aluminum
bottom. It will be made locally in the good old USA and
**each plate will weigh roughly 1 lb. The stainless steel
will be a little less.**Please note, this is not a
reversible plate, the screws will not sit flush and possibly
damage your PCB. The screws needed have already been
provided by Duck with your Octagon V2.
The plate
pictured is a prototype made out of scrap aluminum. It was
made for test fitting purposes and testing of various
finishes. For history in how this came to be, please refer
to the IC

Octagon V2 kindly provided by Pemdas as I have
none
Who can order?
Open to anyone who wants one. You
don’t even need an Octagon V2 to enjoy its goodness.
. However, shipping will come in stages. CONUS first, then
Canada, then International orders.
How much is it?
Blank
plates are roughly $30 $40 while engraved plates will cost
roughly $35 $45. That is for a total order of 40 units.
Exact pricing may differ when the order is submitted so
let’s try and break 40 folks! I will ONLY take PayPal as it
will give you 180 days to get your money back in case I
decide to run away with your money. Hence, there will be
PayPal fees involved. The first invoice sent will ONLY be
for the cost of the unit. Another shipping invoice will be
sent out once all items are at my doorstep.
Estimated
USPS First Class Shipping costs for 1 plate
CONUS: $8
-12 USD
Canada: $12 - 15 CAD
International: $15 -
20 USD minimum. For exact costs, use the USPS website. It’s
1 lb per plate.
If for some reason you are unable to
pay, please contact me and we can work something out. Case
by case basis of course. Make your case good!
How long do I have to decide?
I would like to
run this Group Buy for 2 weeks, closing on 6/21/16 9 pm PST.
I’ll start sending out invoices about a week in. If for some
reason you missed this, you will be able to acquire these
plates during the extras buying stage. It will be more
expensive of course. It will take roughly 2-3 weeks of
manufacturing if all goes well. July 4th is also in the
middle of all that so there might be a delay here and
there.
Can I have you put my own custom engraving on
the plate?
That is a very cool idea, and I wish I
could. If I were to do that, that would delay the
manufacturing time by a lot, especially if everyone wants a
custom design. My suggestion is to buy a blank plate and
take it to a local engraver.
