Brand New Filco Majestouch 2 Tenkeyless Mechanical Keyboard w/ RED Switch / Switches (NKR ASCII Keyboard)


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1) How much does it cost?
The keyboard is up for auction with a starting bid of $165.00 USD (shipping not included).

2) How was the price determined?
Amazon currently sells it for $165 USD - 40% cheaper than its retail price of $265 USD (after shipping from the Keyboard Co). Unfortunately Amazon does not ship to several countries outside of the United States (including Canada); thus, this auction is intended for those where shipping is unavailable. And YES, I know the reserve is set at what I paid for it. If you don't see why then please ignore this thread.

3) Where do you ship? How much does it cost?
Anywhere covered by United States postal services (USPS, UPS, Fedex). You pay the exact shipping amount.

4) How old is it?
Purchased Brand New in March 2011 from Amazon. Receipt is provided.

5) Why are you selling it? Is there something wrong with it?
No. For those wondering, I bought it to compare how Red switches felt compared to Topres.

6) Does it have a warranty?
Warranty started on March 2011 and is fulfilled by either Filco or Keyboard Co. Proof of purchase provided. Contact Keyboard Co for more details.

7) Do you have pictures?
Available upon request

8) You're a junior member w/ only 2 posts. Why should I trust you?
You shouldn't. This post was intended to spread word and gauge demand before I list it on E-Bay.

9) *What's with the auction, you slimy capitalist pig? Why don't you just ship it for free like everyone else?
Because it's fair and insures both parties from fraud.


PM me your inquiries by Saturday, March 19.

Cheers.

It it certainly a fair offer.  And we all know that many people on this site buy boards just to try them.  Just seems like a different way to go about the turn-around process.  Good luck, and welcome to Geekhack

What I find hilarious, is some guy (JohnBlaze) coming on the forum and blasting away at another forum member for offering to ship a Canadian a keyboard, simply because his jerkoff self was trying to make money selling it to Canadians.

Good question. I just received it and therefore might change my mind over the next week, however that's unlikely to happen if I find there's considerable demand for it. You never know if there's an impatient Canadian gamer out there who offers me a ridiculous amount of money because he wants one ASAP.

Good thing E-Bay insures their money if I turn out to be a crook. That said, at least you don't seem as naive as other people on this board who hand over their money to anyone on this forum with over 50 posts (that's a sincere compliment).

Ok so let's get this straight..

You come on here, with a ridiculous auction format sale post that's really for no other reason than to gauge how much you'll get - so you can decide over the next week whether or not it's worth keeping??

Give me a break. Did you even notice I mentioned where the keyboard sells and at what prices? That alone gives people enough info to make a well informed decision. Did the exchange rates confuse you? Do me a favor and stop flooding this thread with unintelligent posts.

If you want to look at it that way. Would you sell a very good, rare keyboard you got at 40% discount for a $10 profit? That's not worth the trip to the post office, and therefore insufficient to keep me from changing my mind.

This thing is that this is a community...the Classifieds are typically thought of as a way for community members to help each other out by buying and selling items - not looking for ways to make a profit. So I think the issue is that you're coming off like you want to make a profit here and OF COURSE nobody is going to like that!

Sorry, I promised I wouldn't post anymore. That's my last one.

This is matter of preference, but I'd never purchase a Used keyboard on a forum unless it was uber rare because you never know if someone is trying to pass their used ones off as Like New. What worries me the most is those people are charging near retail value, which if you ask me is worse than making a profit on a brand new item.

I, on the other hand, am selling a brand new keyboard with proof of purchase on March 8, 2011. Why is that important?

1) Users KNOW their keyboard is brand new
2) If they don't like it they can return it themselves by April 7 for a refund (the original price, that is, minus shipping)
3) If needed I can help them with the return process

And guess what? Even if they bought it from me for say $260, that's STILL cheaper than what they'd be paying Keyboard Co, which is ironic considering mine came directly from Keyboard Co (fulfilled by Amazon). For anyone who thinks that's taking advantage of people (remember, it's going up for public auction) you're RIDICULOUS. I'm just not as generous as other people because I'm a capitalist pig from America, and I've no reason to be considering I'm selling a keyboard here, not trying to make friends.

You'll be relieved to know I never planned to return here after selling it, anyway, especially after learning how many people troll For Sale threads.

Peace.

Oh wait, you can get Filco Majestouch 2 with Red Cherry MX switches in the US from Amazon for $160?  Nevermind.  After thinking about it, and I *am* a true-blue American capitalist (as many here can attest, for better or worse), I'm going to go with Amazon.

Haha.  You pay 160 for it from amazon, where anyone else in the us can get it, then try to say it's worth what someone would pay from the uk with ****ty exchange rates and high shipping costs. Sod off.  I live in the us and still paid keyboard co to ship it to me, rather than amazon, because they provide top notch service.  They deserve the sale.  Theyve earned it.  You haven't.  If anyone can get their hands on it right now, it's not exactly rare.  You have no business trying to charge a premium.  Get out of our forum.


My keyboard is brand new from Keyboard Co. Amazon simply acted as their vendor. Even if it wasn't you should know that Keyboard Co still makes a profit as using Amazon saves them a lot of money.

I'm sorry you were out $100, as that could've been used to feed starving children in Africa.

I will offer right now to buy and ship a cherry red to any Canadian who wants it. Just pay the price of the board, shipping and the paypal fees and any kind of customs, as long as I don't get stuck with any of the bill I'm cool with making a trip to the PO to help someone out. If you would like i'll even set up a listing on ebay for your security if you agree to cover the ebay fees.

Anyway maybe this isn't the right thread, sorry, carry on.

Entitled to a sale? I can return it for a full refund (minus shipping) within 30 days, but I thought someone here might find my offer mutually beneficial. Whether you disagree doesn't concern you.

Threatening to leave? Why? You'd be the only one who'd miss me. I simply said that thinking people might stop trolling this thread knowing I'd be gone in no time. But I change my mind, bc responding to such posts are providing good visibility.

Peace.

What he was trying to say is that Keyboard co, has a very good track record with shipping aka well packaged, secure in packaging and not moving around unlike amazon who pulls them from the shipping container and just throws it in a box with 2 air bubbles after receiving it from keyboardco.

Honestly though I would just give it up if I were you, you came in and bad mouthed someone trying to do a genuine nice thing which actually happens on this forum quite a bit.  To me even though I am very new here this place isnt just a forum its a community, 99% of the members are here because they are into keyboards and they like the other people, you just plain and simply do not see someone here starting a WTS thread talking about " We will start the bidding here " because most people just want to get some money back on a board they tried out to get to the next one.  Speaking of that did you actually just buy the keyboard so you could resell it?

You know, E-Bay didn't become a billion dollar industry by taking advantage of people, right? People use it to buy items at discounted prices, and because public auctions prevent against private discrimination.

I'll be surprised if this thread gets closed for anything other than how ridiculous it's become, since I'm sure others will agree that auctions are more fair than shipping a board via first come first serve regardless the cost. If you disagree please see #9 of my original post for more details.

Entitled to a sale? I can return it for a full refund (minus shipping) within 30 days, but I thought someone here might find my offer mutually beneficial. Whether you disagree doesn't concern you.

Threatening to leave? Why? You'd be the only one who'd miss me. I simply said that thinking people might stop trolling this thread knowing I'd be gone in no time. But I change my mind, bc responding to such posts are providing good visibility.

Peace.

I was talking about your attitude. The pricing, I'll agree with some posters, isn't too out of hand, but you're talking as if you're doing a service to people (when, honestly, you're really not, because you're wanting to put this up for auction with the reserve price set at the price you paid for it, which means you're trying to get it priced more than you paid for, which means it's priced higher than other people can buy it for, which means, you're really not doing a service to people - did you get that?), and therefore is a reason for people to buy it off of you. Which is what I'm talking about; it reeks of self-entitlement.

But in a buyer/seller relationship, it doesn't work that way. A seller sets the price, and if a buyer likes it, he'll buy it. If not, he doesn't, and if the seller needs to sell it, will price it accordingly so that the buyer will.

But you, on the other hand, for some reason, keep trying to hammer it home that "it's worth it" and that you're "doing a service to people" with these ridiculous rationalizations (how much shipping costs, how much it costs on Keyboard co. while ignoring how much it costs on Amazon, which people have easy access to, how you could return it for a refund), instead of at least attempting to accommodate buyers' demands.

Yea, that reeks of entitlement.

And if I disagree, it absolutely concerns me. Because... I disagree? That's a pretty bigoted statement from you right there.

And finally, well, I misread that last statement about you leaving. But, to our credit, it still was a jab at everyone posting in this thread, labeling them as "trolls", when a vast majority of the people here seem to see it the other way around.

What he was trying to say is that Keyboard co, has a very good track record with shipping aka well packaged, secure in packaging and not moving around unlike amazon who pulls them from the shipping container and just throws it in a box with 2 air bubbles after receiving it from keyboardco.

Honestly though I would just give it up if I were you, you came in and bad mouthed someone trying to do a genuine nice thing which actually happens on this forum quite a bit.  To me even though I am very new here this place isnt just a forum its a community, 99% of the members are here because they are into keyboards and they like the other people, you just plain and simply do not see someone here starting a WTS thread talking about " We will start the bidding here " because most people just want to get some money back on a board they tried out to get to the next one.  Speaking of that did you actually just buy the keyboard so you could resell it?
First off, while I admire your backing him up, that's obviously not what he meant given he said the Keyboard Co deserves the sale, implying that Amazon isn't affiliated with them. They are directly affiliated! Even if he were, like you said, only concerned about the shipping method, please consider the keyboard is being shipped from a distribution center in the united states where I live, and I'm sure that's just as safe as traveling all the way from the UK.

Second, I apologized for that rude comment of mine. I was surprised, though, that someone went as far to call me a prick, but I've no problem replying to them as it's a good opportunity to bump this thread.

Third, I purchased the board to see how a $165 Filco w/ red switches felt in comparison to $300 HHKB Pro 2 w/ Topre. If the Filco had blown me away I wouldn't be selling it - but it didn't.

Lastly, I can return it for a full refund within 30 days, but opted to list it here after seeing complaints that it didn't ship to Canada. Apparently some people view my auction format as a ploy to exploit people, but they should also consider that first-come first-serve methods caters\ to the most active users who probably own several boards, leaving those less active but in greater need with few options to compete. For example, suppose you offered to ship your only keyboard for free to the first person who asked and received 2 requests within a matter of minutes (no, you can't buy one for both of them!) I'm sure you'd honor your word, but what if I told you the first person already owns a red Filco and wants second for work where he makes $30/hr, whereas the second person is a 14 yr old kid trying to buy his first with $200 he received on his birthday. He obviously can't afford to buy one from Keyboard Co, so what do you do? Would you help him out instead?

It doesn't matter either way since most parents wouldn't trust a stranger with their kid's money, which means the kid has to settle for another board or none at all. He can't even persuade you with more money! You get the point.

Thanks for the replies. Be back in a week.
