Filco from PCHome?

[Mooby]

I wanted to try out if could get used to ANSI layout and was looking for a nice Filco keyboard. Since they would cost me about 160-170€ here in Germany I searched for shops from overseas that ship to Europe and stumbled upon this: http://global.pchome.com.tw/english/DCAH1Z-A58771862

The keyboard is currently out of stock, but the price is very good. It would be about 120€ including shipping and taxes. Does someone know if they had any stock recently or did they just not remove the Filco listing from their store? Or does someone know where I could buy an ANSI Filco for a comparable price?

Hmmm... Maybe try this? http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard/uk-filco-majestouch-2-tenkeyless-nkr-click-action-keyboard.asp
Or it's too costly?

I have no access to this link. The error message says: "The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you."

Ordering from Keyboardco would be to expensive for me (more than 160€), that's why I'm looking for a cheaper alternative.

You'll probably still have to pay VAT, so you won't be saving much.

It was Moose's attempt to be funny.  It was removed.

That's the point. The PCHome Filco costs about 120€ (165$) including VAT and shipping. In the OP i wrote "taxes", maybe this was confusing.

I was hoping he was pointing me into the right direction - is this normal around here? Failing at being funnny instead of trying to be helpful. Very nice. I don't know if there's something wrong with my question. But I have been searching a lot before asking and the question still stands. Because PCHome's price is really good and I don't know if they had any stock recently and if it's worth waiting. Or if someone found a similar shop overseas that ships to europe.

Prices in Germany for a Filco with ANSI Layout are about 230$, no bargain to be found yet.
