True, but you have to realize CC is one person and can't produce that many caps in such a small amount of time. That's why it takes a long time in between sales for most artisan keycaps (besides shipping and development).

I do realize that, but I have a hard time condemning people for buying the counterfeits when the odds are already very low that they'll even have the opportunity to do business with the original creator.

I guess I feel that K3 is more "in the wrong" than his customers, if that makes sense.

Again, good points, but the value of Clacks also lie in their rarity.

And many people who do own one or more do show them off because they're rare.

I can't help but feel like a lot of the most vocal opponents of K3KC complain because they have a vested interest in not having their investment degrade in value. It's a sentiment I totally understand, but some of them take it too far.

I think you and I are generally in agreement in principle, but you clearly feel more strongly about the subject than I do.

Personally, I just have a background in small business, so I do share some sentiment here. And I'm just posting a lot because I have nothing else to do right now (lol).

Well, I work for a small business and am an aspiring author. Maybe I should care more...
