I love you and hate you all at once. My head says yes but my wallet says no..... but my credit card says maybe  :-\

I wish it was in NSW, would go pick it up for $65.

Someone bid :))
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

No, 'cause someone bid the starting bid, $30, on it.  That removed the BiN option.

thank you Rowdy - TIL

no info on where it's located? seems to be usually out of canberra or melbourne or one guy out silverwater, syd.

Anyway overpaid mine already from clickykeyboards and it don't get used much, tend to use the unicomp more often with black blanks on black 103 goodness  :)

I don't know why anyone would bid $30 on this keyboard, the last one on Ebay in Australia went for over $100..
