This week on Keebcast we decided to talk about some topics that all of us feel very passionate about. Resellers are inevitable in a market where exclusivity and limited quantities exist. Our hope is that we can educate people on how flipping is ultimately taking away from those who would have purchased the product at retail cost. We also talk about fake products within the industry in hopes that people understand that when they purchase fake keycap sets or even fake artisan keycaps, they are tru...

For this podcast, it was Ragan, Alex, and myself (Chase). If you guys haven't heard, we are looking to do more podcasts where we don't have a guest and we just kind of have a good time. This week we spent a good amount of time talking about some of our most positive experiences in the hobby and we got way off track when we started talking about whether it is "soda' or it is "pop"...
