WodanWe sat down this morning and found some better packaging options for this kit. The shipping costs were lowered as a result (mostly for Canadian + International shipments).

YanboWuThis is excellent news about the reduced shipping costs! However, regarding pricing of the kit components, it still seems that there ought to be more of a deduction if a customer were to opt out of switches ($6) and/or a case ($6).
There is also still a discrepancy in the descriptions about the type of stabilizers -- are they PCB-mount or plate-mount Cherry stabilizers? Would the plate or PCB accept Filco/Costar-type stabilizers?
Thanks again.

HypersphereThe cases really are that cheap. $6 a piece for 50, even lower at higher quantities.

HypersphereThe way I understand some of the options of this kit, the price for the full kit (Plate+Switches+PCB+Case, no Caps) only works when a high percentage of buyers actually take all options. If they wanted to sell just the PCB, this would have been a different drop. The price for the kit as a whole is pretty sweet if you ask me - but that's only possible because they are calculating with high numbers of switches, plates, cases and PCBs. If the numbers of one of those components fell behind due to being a very unpopular option, the whole calculation would break. You can't sell a sweet kit for a great price AND allow people to add and remove all kinds of options for their calculated best price. I got a plate and a PCB in LeandreN's Round3 group buy for 90$ with no switches and no case, that's my benchmark.
So if I had a chance to add a case for 6$ and Gaterons for 6$, I would have done so INSTANTLY. Instead, LeandreN did a great job offering Gateron Blues as a single option for 0.21$ each if a MOQ of 2000 was reached. That's 14$ for the switches alone - we're already near the "high price" of this drop and still lack a case.

HypersphereThe plate requires PCB-mount stabilizers.

HypersphereI have to agree on this one, the switches only subtracting $6 is a no go for me, it would have been better to leave those options off, it's almost insulting as nobody would ever sell us switches for $6.
