WillYeah, imo the biggest advantage of having a trading platform on Massdrop itself is to enable cross-hobby trading, which is often difficult on forums dedicated to a single hobby.

scalarmotionI like that idea I'm a musician and as technology advances so does my equipment. And trading it is slot better then collecting it in a closet, between my guitar rig to my studio equipment. It builds up. And if someone else can use it. Well.

Work around for firmware/configuration update error "command not recognized"
I spent more than an hour attempting to update my Drop Shift keyboard. I'm not sure what has changed, but I was not able to do it entirely from the Drop website as I had previously done. I have most of the keys configured how I would like, but the default LED function was a very bright, distracting, rainbow wave going across the keyboard. Every time I turned the computer on I had to manually adjust the lights how I liked. Using the online version or the locally installed app, you first have to install the QMK XAP interface. You then have to flash your already configured firmware file, which can be done on the Drop website. If you are logged in your last configuration is saved under your account and you can alter what you like, so you don't have to start from scratch. So, following the instructions I selected the appropriate board, entered bootloader mode, but when attempting to flash the file, I would get an error that the C:/Users/Mike C..... command is not recognized...

Spin the Wheel of Power
You know the story. 3 rings to the Elven-kings. 7 to the Dwarf-lords. 9 to mortal men. And 1 to the Dark Lord. What will your fate be? Spin the Wheel of Power to see where you land on the ring of prizes. Regardless of the outcome, be sure to take a look at the Lord of the Rings collection after claiming your prize. You can spin the wheel a maximum of three times, but much like those who have worn the Ring of Power—there's no turning back after that button is clicked. How did the journey go for you? Share your spoils below.

Drop Keyboard Club Questions
Hello everyone! I'm looking to join DKC, but I have a few questions. The first day of November has already passed. Will I still get the coupon for November immediately after signing up today (Nov. 10)? What is the definition of Mechanical Keyboard products? Will the coupon apply to desk mats? I believe it should apply to everything listed under this category? For orders under $79, the coupon will be converted to a percentage discount. Will the percentage discount apply to all mechanical keyboard items in an entire order, or it can only be applied to a single mechanical keyboard item in the order? Thanks in advance!

Note, I specifically say "Trading System" not a B/S/T system.
A big part of product centric enthusiast communities is properly valuing objects. How many times have you been to a drop for a different community and thought "My god, why would anyone ever spend $X on THAT?", happens all the time, but it's only because people outside that community, people who haven't gone down that rabbit hole yet, don't understand the market in that community.
Ever since the beginning of Massdrop we've wanted to bring communities together and drive cross pollination. Sure it's in our best interest financially if we can get a quilter interested in audiophile gear, but more importantly, it expands the community, it makes the community richer.
It costs significant money to acquire grail level products in any community, but once you're at the grail level in one community, you tend to become particularly entrenched. This is logical, you've invested hundreds of hours learning about Mechanical Keyboards, you've sunk a couple grand into the products you have, so the idea of starting over in a new category is hard. It's like moving to another country, except you can't bring any of your money or stuff.
If we could create a system where high quality enthusiast products were evaluated as assets, it would enable trading and a greater degree of cross community interaction.
As an example, let's say I've got 4-5 headphones worth between $300 and $1000 on the secondary market, but I don't have any nice mechanical keyboards. I've been browsing mech keys on Massdrop, they look really cool, but I don't want to have to carve out another $200 for the keyboard plus $100 for keycaps from my already stretched budget.
It'd be pretty cool if I could put one of my headphones up for trade, I could specify I'm interested in mech keys worth a similar amount, and Massdrop spits out the 5 dudes looking to trade their $300 keyboards for $300 headphones.
Obviously lots of logistics to figure out, but I think it'd be pretty sweet if Massdrop enabled this kind of activity. What do you think?
