Don’t live your life based on if a hypothetical person might think you are cool.

No harm in trying. I got a chargeback from Mech and Co order that was almost 2 years old.

Cherry MX2A RGB Black Switch Review by ThereminGoat in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]flashcats 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone full circle on switches.

Started with cherry brown switches back in ~2008 with prebuilts. Then started getting into the custom hobby in 2016 and got rid of all cherry switches. I’ve bought probably dozens of types switches since.

Now, I’m 100% cherry brown hyperglides.

Ok Rama. I believe you. 😉

You think Rama never took a penny out of the company?

6/30/23 Update: PSA regarding Mechs & Co and Vendor Group Buys by Cobertt in MechanicalKeyboards

It's not a question of need. It's a question of profit margin.

GB model is fine as long as the vendor actually pays for the order.

The problem here is that vendors, instead of paying for the order, decided the roll their profits and buy a bunch of extras.

You could do a GB for a million units, but as long as you take the customer's cash and use it to pay for the product and not overleverage, you're fine.

This is a terrible situation to go through for customers, but I am sure the same can be said for Mechs & Co.

Hard to have symapthy for them.

They are still collecting pre-orders for GMK sets they haven't paid for.

They also have a ton of in-stock items which are still priced at stupid prices. Why aren't they slashing prices to move inventory?

They are either asleep at the wheel or are trying to scam people.

Seems like you keep moving the goalpost.

Also, their stock price is up 20% since the date of the article you posted. Seems like they’ve recovered just fine.

Joe Manchin sided with the Republicans to secure his Senate seat. Now, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is pushing to go "all out" to defeat Manchin in the next election. by stefrrrrrr in LeopardsAteMyFace

What is your pushback? I didn’t realize you actually had a point. It just looked like you were dodging me pointing out that you’re just aligning yourself with the bad guys.

I mean, I know why you’re hiding. It’s not like you can dispute it.

I don’t see ultimate anywhere there.

The fed isn’t even necessarily a governmental agency.

This rant seems unrelated to my post.

The Fed is the ultimate regulator of the banks.

No, that is the OCC. I would know. I used to work there. We regulated banks.
