Lower the price!

[pure tiger]

Why are these still so expensive? If there’s so much stock left, can’t you lower the price to make them at least somewhat appealing? The only people buying these are the ones who don’t know any better.. 😕

[sharp flax]

This is generally the market price of jades 😂

[pure tiger]

Jade Pros, maybe. And that’s a fucking stretch lmao

[sharp flax]

Nah. And if you find cheaper, just buy there 🤷🏻‍♂️

[ionic leaf]

Maybe of the Jade Pro, iirc the 90 pack of Jade Magnetics direct from Gateron is 55USD unshipped right now (on sale) and 71USD standard, and 71USD is still 15 euros less than from Wooting when converted…

Business is business at the end of the day but damn

[sharp flax]

If the sale wasn’t active on Gateron’s site right now, they’d be the same price from wooting as straight from the source…

[sharp flax]

But send prices from other storefronts in euros or pounds (not converted from USD). They’re likely going to sit at the same/similar prices as the wooting storefront.

[ionic leaf]

70 Jade PRO switches costs me £50 in the UK. £66 for 90 of the regular jades?

[sharp flax]

Jade pros are different switches. You’re not doing a 1:1

[ionic leaf]

“Other storefronts not converted” makes 0 sense or relevance lol

[sharp flax]

Other storefronts, currency not converted

[ionic leaf]

Gateron Jades for $1 A SWITCH

That’s the point, why would we pay $1 a switch?

[sharp flax]

I’m not saying jades are worth the $. IMO, they’ve never been worth the $. But arbitrarily saying they’re overpriced on the wooting site when they’re priced similarly on every other site, is wild work.

[ionic leaf]

That’s like amazon scalper import price…

[ionic leaf]

$90 for 90 switches (maybe regional pricing but the € and £ price is consistent) when we can get them for less ~$55-70 directly from gateron? n don’t get off saying It’s arbitrary when it’s something that’s been pointed out various times before by multiple people LOL

If the issue is regional pricing bc they’re being sold for $71 wherever you’re at then something gotta be clarified or worked on

[onyx tapir]

You're also forgetting that UK and EU prices include taxes, that makes the prices come pretty close

[pure tiger]

Jade Pros are the improved version of the Jades, hence the name. Even the Jade Pros can be considered slightly outdated by today’s switches.

[ionic leaf]

What are the after tax price if you order from the US store? Unfamiliar with how taxes work in NA

specially now with tariffs and the minimum import value being removed

[sharp flax]

People don’t understand this. Most states have 5-10% sales tax to tack on. But VAT and whatnot is PLENTY more and is calculated already into prices

[ionic leaf]

Then show the after tax price?

the fuck 🤣

[onyx tapir]

My example that I've tried was $86 for New York, the converted Euro price is about $88

[sharp flax]

They’re not necessarily an improvement though. Jade maxes aren’t necessarily an improvement over the jade pros as one would think with the naming scheme

[ionic leaf]

Okay so it pretty much aligns with spending $90 here for them, makes sense. Thanks for checking

[pure tiger]

2/10 ragebait.

[sharp flax]

After tax varies depending on location. My state has no sales tax (one of the few) but I HAVE to pay for shipping.

[ionic leaf]

Brother

Holy shit lol

[ionic leaf]

1.5 on a good day

[opal bough]

hell nah, disgusting

[sharp flax]

What’s bad is the Lekker60’s cost $64.98 for me after shipping. (90 pack)

[opal bough]

hell nah

[ionic leaf]

i got 90 owlab ti he for half the price of 90 jades on the wooting store

[opal bough]

i prefer to buy switches from local vendors

[ionic leaf]

taobao my beloved

i spent so much on unikeys too

[sharp flax]

I don’t have anything local. Bad enough I have to travel a few hours round trip just to get my mail.

[opal bough]

that's so sad tho

here in my country, we have our own e-commerce (shopee)..
it's way cheaper there

and free shipping

[ionic leaf]

do you live in narnia tf

[sharp flax]

Nah just off-grid in one of the 2 US states not connected to the mainland US. House is only accessible by air or by train, followed by about 5 miles of off-road trails.

[ionic leaf]

oh shit so you’re out in the sticks

goddamn wtf

[sharp flax]

Alaska and Hawaii typically always charge for shipping because for commerce everything comes by air or sea. Most don’t even recognize them as part of the North American continent because I guess geography is hard?

[sharp flax]

Yeah, got a well for water and house is powered by solar and diesel. So somewhat luxury in the sticks. No outhouses here 😂

[ionic leaf]

Lucky there’s no purchase tax then because shipping prices must be a BITCH 🤣

[sharp flax]

It’s really not that bad. And some businesses don’t charge (IE pretty much anything from Amazon).

[unique cargo]

didnt they say they cant?

something abt gateron not allowing people to sell for prices less then they do

[pure tiger]

if true, they need to fire whoever agreed to that

that’s ridiculous

90% of resellers sell for less than gat does as well, so I doubt that’s true unless it’s a wooting specific deal 💀

[unique cargo]

ye i found it

[pure tiger]

I don’t believe it.

Did Gat get them with “In perpetuity, throughout the universe, in all media now known or hereafter devised.” or something?
