I've joined the drop, but this sure feels nickle and dime... $329.19 was my final price.
First picture is a nice 60%, with 3Run, and quickly blows up as you take the better layout, ditch the plastic case, and well, get the 3Run in the layout.
Really feels like this should have a base price of $280 with options to downgrade, esp with the main picture depicting at least $210 in spend.

NeonBlueAh, I see. That is steep. I joined the drop too, but my price was $99.99 and with taxes and shipping about $112. The price was accurate for me. I got the hacker layout, gateron blues, white plastic case and no keycaps. I just joined a group buy for some keycaps at Originative Co. for their Oco-PBT Keycaps. So I don't need keycaps. And as far as the case, I want to make a wooden case myself later. I think the pricing is fair.

NavalavaTo be very extremely clear, my complaint is not about the price. The price is more than fair.
I mean this to be a constructive feedback, as price shock like this is not beneficial to drops or anybody involved.
I got an email that said "Infinity x GMK 3Run 60% Keyboard Kit" with a picture of the Keyboard with 3Run, and the Extras pack with a price of $100. Right there my expectations are set to the $185 product at $100, nearly double what was shown in the email. Now, I know what these things cost to produce, and a base set of GMK's generally run $80, but the expectation has been set. If I didn't know this I wouldn't be stepping back, thinking about it, then choosing to continue after resetting my expectations to what I know these things cost.
If the price had been set to $160 and the initial photo did not show the extra's it would be palatable to upgrade from Alpha to Hacker ($25), and then go "I like the extras, I'll take those too" and drop another $25. That way as a consumer I feel like I'm paying for an upgrade rather than paying extra to get what I was shown, just like spending $60 on the Aluminum case, and $30 on Zealios doesn't cause me to bat an eye, because I don't expect those to be there as a default.
