Sparkle Loft Reactor Artisan Keycap Discussions | Drop

lanyuseaNo. He is doing this as a GB. Maybe once he reaches a certain point he can start making them and selling them anywhere. As it stands, it's only available on MD or GH. It's only 4 pages and a few links to read. Maybe try that?

BrainFlushnope. I know what you are talking but the fact is:
It has been sold in China at least before one year ago. But not quite much and usually out of stuck. I saw many guys are selling their second-hand Sparkle Loft Artisan Keycap on Taobao. https://s.2.taobao.com/list/list.htm?q=%B7%B4%D3%A6%B6%D1+%BC%FC%C3%B1&search_type=item&app=shopsearch
I want to buy one directly from China, instead of paying the shipping fee from China to US, then back to China. together with a long long long waiting

lanyuseaMy understanding is that he started them last year. So maybe these are ones he's previously sold locally.
And converting prices seems to match the GB prices.
It would be nice of we could get an explanation from the seller or even from MD. Because if anyone can make these I think the artisian aspect fades.
I only know what I've read on GH. Thanks for the link though. I'm still debating on dropping regardless of origin.

BrainFlushI'm not sure what explanation is required. Taobao is like eBay in China - when we put things up on Massdrop more people will try and sell what they have on hand from previous buys.

BrainFlushAs far as I know, there has already been round 1 and round 2 in China.
Easy man, I'm just asking and it is not quite s serious thing. I just wanna get one as soon as possible with a cheaper shipping fee, and the product has already been out of stuck for quite a long time. therefore I asked it. I have already lost a package during shipment from Massdrop, I don't want another happening.

lanyuseaHi, i am the designer of these keycaps, 1.the price set locally in my country is 350 yuan which is higher than the price on massdrop. 2.i start to design the keycaps on March and untill mid of october, i try to use the aluminum for my keycaps rather than resin,now i sell 200 in total in China, 3. The estimated shipping time will be strictly followed. 4.There are many production process for my keycaps, so sometimes you can see the products on Taobao out of stock , sorry about that. 5.As the limitation of the local media, i am here to sell keycaps on a large platform. Every designer has a dream, so do i, i hope one day, when talking about spakle loft, the word i hear is Wow~Amazing.,awesome 6.Last thing the price drop is quite attractive once reach 100 and 200

YanboWuI actually didn't know that. Sorry, I am out of the loop in certain regards to online stuff. After seeing the link posted, I kind of figured but still didn't know. So it makes sense people are reselling previously purchased caps from the maker. I get that now.

SparkleLoftThank you for the reply. As I told you on GH your caps are pretty amazing. And based on this drop here, you have done well. I look forward to the price drop that we will be hitting soon.
