I realize this thing has the red escape included but that's like $4.50 from EK....the board is $199 plus shipping which is ~$12 at least to me...why...would someone pay more for a used one off ebay??

but...but http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,rftenkeyless&pid=rf_se1800

today you learned.. people are dumb.

apparently that price is a lie. 225 when in your cart.

im dumb too.

but even if it's $253 shipped from EK, I would still pay the $6 difference to get it new.
