It's a stupid good deal on Topre in good condition, even at the BIN price.  Shipping is listed at $7 for me.

Seller MIGHT be a little sketchy, it appears that his previous auction for this board was returned to seller. Looks like he got negative feedback for it. Just want to make any potential buyers aware..

Hmm, I wonder what that was.  Didn't see that feedback.  Wonder if it was the stiffness issue or something else.

The issue is that there are 7 keys that are slightly stiffer than the others. This is a product of my clumsiness as I spilled some coffee on a section of it a year ago. There is no sign of this mistake cosmetically as I immediately removed all of the keys with a keycap puller and wiped/cleaned everything individually. The only thing lasting from this is that the "'(L), ( : ; ), (" '), (< ,), (> .), (? /), and the (right alt) are slightly stiffer. This stiffness is barely noticeable in typical typing but when slowly pressing the key to test it you can tell the difference.

If it doesn't get bid up its worth it just for the keycaps imo.

Yeah this. I'm half tempted to bin for the caps.
