How much should black Topre RealForce 87U keycap set sell for?
« on: Sat, 17 January 2015, 02:44:56 »
Just curious--if I were to sell the black dye-sub keycap set on my RealForce 87U (which is only a few weeks old), how much should it be priced at? Topre RealForce keycap sets are notoriously expensive, and since the black keycaps are not even a product that's being sold and only comes with the black version of the keyboard, how would I price it?

There's not much of a precedent for this since replacement keycaps sets are so scarce. I would guess $80-85. There is a dedicated thread for price checks: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=31779.0
Please consider carefully before you decide to comment, for Jesus.

Or you can lock it yourself by clicking the "LOCK" link in the lower left corner of the page.
"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

Way cool. Never seen that on a forum before--usually a mod has to do it.
