The industrial is tempting especially because its in Australia also. Does anyone think 250 is good for it? Hopefully its gone by tomorrow and this wont be a problem as my car needs rego.

In my opinion, 250$ is a bit too much... but if you really want it and its already in your country...

You need to offset that against how uncommon such keyboards are down here, and how much it would cost you to buy one from OS.

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

The industrial is a little on the high side.  With the Aussie Dollar under 90 cents and $50+ postage to get something in, it's not too bad.

Quite valid points, just the postage saving would be at least $30 once you factor in the $20 PP if it was to come from OS.  The price has dropped to $225, I think the owner may be keen to offload quickly for whatever reason. He has sold a fair few model Ms including 2 SSKs from what I can see. possibly a collector raising funds for a new purchase?

Think I will just watch this one and if it drops below $200 jump on it and call it a year for keyboard purchases.

He has now listed a couple of M2's.  I updated the original post.
