So what happened to the warning signs for the $12.99? I was gonna get like 5 kits plus the warning signs.
SupersonicThey corrected the price. The previous price was a mistake, and they are honoring that price for people that had already added them, but removed that option and are now charging the correct price based on their cost to produce. It was a big ridiculous fiasco people blew way out of proportion.

This is the most accurate and succinct summary of the warning signs situation that I have seen. Well done

mkcolbI'm seriously thinking about dropping the cheap warning signs from my cart and adding the ones with the correct price back into my cart. I'm looking for the lowest price I can get *but* the community has to be profitable for both MD and SP if they're to keep producing the key-caps we want.

smoyerA noble stance, but unnecessary.
I think of it this way: the fact that MD and SP were willing to take that loss on the warning signs as opposed to upping the price for everyone (which in my opinion would have been justified) is that they wanted to keep the community happy. Why did they want to keep the community happy?? Because they want us to participate in future GBs so they can continue making money off of our purchases. If anything, the choice of MD and SP to eat that loss shows that they fully expect many more keycap GBs in the future; they wouldn't be willing to lose $11k in revenue if they didn't think there were going to be a lot more keycap groupbuys to recoup that loss.
smoyerThe few dollars you would be giving back is insignificant compared to the amount of money this project is making, comfortably covering more than the fees and cost to produce. I think your heart is in the right place with the gesture, but the only bottom line you will be effecting is your own

smoyerthis community has been around for a long time and has no indication of slowing down or stopping- quite the opposite.
You can keep your $~15 and rest easy that Massdrop will continue to pump out new key cap drops.
In fact, as soon as this one ends, another hugely anticipated one is going to pop up shortly after.

schoolbusWhat's coming up next? I want carbon but I'm a bit leery of SA and prefer the GMK Carbon aesthetic.
