These rare, one-off, and factory-second offerings are in stock and available for shipment on a relatively short timeline (first time, first served), unless otherwise noted. Quality grading system is outlined below.

Please read each lot description carefully; order cancellations now carry a 3% processing fee due to Shopify no longer refunding fees on canceled orders.

More details on each design (Norbaforce, Heavy Grail, etc.) can be found on their respective product pages here in the shop.

Grading system

Factory seconds (B-stock and below) may or may not come in retail packaging.

A Stock. First quality retail-grade products in retail packaging. As per usual, some powder coat units will have microscopically non-uniform areas, which is just in the nature of the powder coating process. Only these items come with product passports.
A- Stock. Cosmetically perfect or nearly perfect. No retail box or product passport included.

B stock.
 Has surfaces that show subtle but discernibly non-uniform areas or small dents (typically along the bottom edge of parts) smaller than 5mm. B-stocks aren't easily distinguished from A Stock unless you go looking very closely for irregularities. These units are often able to be re-coated or re-polished up to a A stock condition through the use of third-party refinishing vendors.

C stock
. Has non-uniform areas bigger than 5mm or dents more significant than B-stock. These units are often able to be re-coated or re-polished up to a B stock or even sometimes A stock condition through the use of third-party refinishing vendors. 

D stock. 
Deep dents in the metal, deep gashes, or bends in the metal that cannot be easily hidden through refinishing.

F stock. 
Parts with form/fit problems, such as missing threads or deformations that prevent parts from fastening to each other normally.

Lot 70

Urbi et Orbi (frosted polycarbonate) Heavy-6. C-stock housing, B-stock rear cover plate. Gray logo badge. White rear cover plate.  Includes parts pack, abrasive pads, but no acoustic dampener. These housings were C-stocked because they exhibit a weird behavior when held under very bright light upside down, a pattern becomes visible that isn't otherwise.

Veracity Steel Heavy Grail Pro 2. F-stock. An otherwise A-stock housing but with broken threads at south rear cover plate screw holes (screws don't screw in all the way), but it is still perfectly usable without those screws; you may wish to add a small strip of thin foam or gasketing material around the plate to prevent any vibration in that area if you find that any is present when typing forcefully. Includes everything except credential folio. 

Lot 64

PVD Black Stainless Steel Norbatouch without risers. A failed finishing experiment due to only partial coverage, but would be easy to coat with Cerakote/powder. Effectively F-stock because there are no threads on the USB connector holes, so you'd need to epoxy your USB connector into place or use some M2 screws and nuts to hold it into place. Images here.

Lot 18

Norbaforce Mark II in textured white/gold experimental finish. A-stock. Includes everything except for risers, so you would need to be someone who uses his Norbaforce flat (no typing angle), which for whatever it's worth is the way the housing is really designed to be used anyway. This finish was experiment and we just forgot to include risers with the coating. Done in this experimental color from Prismatic Powders.  

Lot 17a-17c

Factory second Veracity Steel Pro 3 Heavy Grails. Condition of each is specified (with photos) in this document.
