Drop + MiTo GMK Laser Custom Keycap Set Discussions | Drop

eapdangYes, I'm wrestling with how to capture this additional break in the bar graph. I think I will split Cyberdeck and Mitowaves out into their own larger-scale graph so the new price break is visible. But I agree with you, it will be quite a stretch to actually reach it. If Cyberdeck can, though, then Mitowaves will be right there with it. Maybe a similar new break will be added to Mitowaves too?
As an aside, does anyone have any suggestions for the color of this new price break on the bar graph? @MiTo? Seems like I have already used all the colors in the set...

eapdangI am waiting for the last few days to join. Normally I would join day one but I am saving money to make sure I can actually afford it instead of joining and not having enough at the end and having to cancel. Happened to me with DSA Miami Dolch and now I have it in my transactions page as cancelled..

lolSnarfSnarfmoney doesn't get charged to you till the end anyways. if you join now, it helps the numbers and as a result more people join and further help the numbers

eapdangthere'll probably will be a spike in joins towards the end, but I don't think it'll be enough to double the preceding quantity.

lolSnarfSnarfTo clarify, when @paul.hudgins says "til the end" he is referring to the close of the drop.

lolSnarfSnarfI get it. You don't want to cancel at the end because you don't have the money after all. To you, it would be another negative mark on your record.

dvorcolThis is till taunting me every time I scroll through my transactions. I wouldn’t want Laser to do the same.

lolSnarfSnarfThings like that don't bother me at all, but I totally understand.
I had to cancel my first Godspeed order and place it again because for some reason the Massdrop system would not let me revise my existing order. It surprised me for a moment when I came across the canceled Godspeed order in my transactions several months later while looking for something else. "What?? My Godspeed order was CANCELED??!! ... oh, wait, there are two of them. Oh yeah, I remember now."
Others have encountered this bug in the Massdrop system. But it seems to be intermittent - that's the only drop I've seen it, but at first I waited a couple days and tried again. No luck, I still couldn't revise.

fopenplopI'm well aware of those spikes, notably Taobao GBs, GBs from our own Vietnam Mechkey community and GBs from other communities that MD doesn't do shipping to. The guys usually submit those private GBs to MD's order system on the 3rd to last, or 2nd to last day of the drop, by which point MD isn't bothered to update to number of kits sold publicly on the drop page any more, to which annoys me to all hell.

eapdangI meant more as a result of lots of people waiting until the last minute because they are on the fence but succumb to the pressure because time is almost out

eapdangI've seen these proxy orders submitted to MD in the last hour of the drop. For example, Oblotzky shared his proxy understanding twice in the last week of his Oblivion drop, and MD updated their spreadsheet with final numbers two weeks after the drop ended. Proxies can make a big difference for some kits. See "Alternate Function Colors" and "Communities" kits on the "Misc. 2" graph, for example.

dvorcolThank you for the graphs, great works as always. The issue is timing, we are charged 1 day after the drop ends, not 2 weeks after when numbers are provided. As all buyers/consumers should, I expect to have all relevant information, which number of kits sold directly affects price drops which directly affect what I pay, available at the time my money is taken.
