$69.99 Hakko-888D at Fry's

[CPTBadAss]

If you live near a Fry's, you should get on this. I saw this in store today. The Hakko-888D, as far as I know, goes for about $100 normally and is currently $91 on Amazon. $69.99 seems like an amazing deal!

[damorgue]

Looks great, too bad there are no Fry's around here.

[jonathanyu]

seems a good price, but why it has a different packing with the one that I bought on amazon?

I'm sure it can be mail forwarded to you for less than $40 shipping unless it weighs much more than a keyboard. I'd be glad to do it if I had a fry's nearby

The problem is that we rock 230V outlets in Europe, that Hakko can't handle that kind of juice!
You can find 230V version on ebay for fair prices, but the risk of getting a clone is to high to bother.

Don't.
Its better to buy a 220v version from Taobao than buying this and ship it, and then get a transformer for it.

I don't live near Fry's, the best I could get one is at $90. I'd proxy one to you, but with shipping from where I live, it'd be 5 GBP less than just buying it.

Appreciate it man. It would work out more expensive, as I'd have to buy a transformer that can handle 100w anyway.

It just saddens me slightly that I have to pay double.

The money from bunny's raffle should cover it though, right?

That's meant for TEK projects (the TEK-60 mainly) and that's what I'll be spending the money on, not soldering gear. But yes, in a way it means the prototype will cost me less and so I'll have a bit more money to spend on stuff such as soldering gear.

i do NOT suggest buying hakko products off taobao. you will most likely get a second shift unit which either did not pass QC or was made without QC.

[dante]

my local fry's shows it as unavailable.  otherwise I'd help a bro out

[Lmnr]

there is 3 at the one I work at (Duluth, Ga) if anyone needs one nearby.

[Glod]

too bad i didnt know about this a few weeks ago when i was in Atlanta for work. I love that Fry's in Duluth. oh well

Hey everyone.. not sure if I should post here... but, will take the chance (I need to find an admin really). 

We've sold a few of you some products over the years, and after finding you recently, and a short meeting in the office yesterday we thought we'd see if the members here would like the use of a few forum specials - like group buys but more general or specific - maybe for the FX888D and other equipment and supplies from B+D? Heck, for those who missed the Fry's deal maybe we help you get the 888 before end of year?

If someone could have an admin member PM me to approve us offering it, we'll get a program together in a day or two just for geekhack.org.

PS. - Personally I never knew there were 27,000+ people who love their keyboards this much as to mod, light and customize the hell out of them! Pretty cool stuff.

Best Regards,
