No, it really isn't. There's no conspiracy. If they have some in stock, it's because they haven't sold them all, it's as simple as that. To be in stock, they would need to be in constant production, and group buy sets are not. Once they are gone, they are gone unless there's another round. Generally, "in stock" means that the product will be always available. If it sells out, more will be made. This is not what happens with group buy sets.

I am aware of what the term “in-stock” means and I didn’t say they should be labeled as “in-stock” (although technically if an item is available to buy in a non-keyboard store it is considered in-stock)

The point is that while technically the stock is “limited” I’d wager some of these vendors are ordering thousands of extras. The term “limited stock” in this particular case is used to encourage you to buy it before it “sells out” and is no longer available. Most of the GMK extras I’ve seen in the last year don’t sell out quickly.

Ok.. enjoy your paranoia. Some sell out fast... some don't. Some group buys barely make MOQ, some go stonks. (shrug). You've not been spending time on budgetkeebs by any chance, have you? :)

Not sure why you got so triggered by my FOMO comment and stuck to it. I was just counter pointing that extras aren’t always “very limited and sell out fast” as you stated 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sure. Everyone who disagrees with you must be triggered, right? :) I just think you're being a bit paranoid by thinking there's some hobby-wide conspiracy to make you buy things.

Not paranoid, don’t think there’s any conspiracy. The FOMO comment was more poking fun at “limited quantity”. You must be a blast at parties 😂
