I saw this on the Japanese auction site buyee. It has it's box and all and it says it's new. Very rare and sought after keyboard it's already on 191 Euros and 4 days to go.
If anyone is looking for one of these keyboards i would say go ham at it.

I just looked, and it's up to ¥63,000 ($738 U.S.). Well, thanks for drawing this example of hysteria to our attention. Hope no one hurts themselves slipping in their own drool.

Tempting...
what is even that great about it. Is it the keycaps?
Strange, now I see Current Price: 69,000 yen (US$633.42)... Has USD dropped that much in only a few days?
Not at all tempting at this price. Anyone paying that kind of money for it is dumb with their money. :(

The key caps and it isn't produced anymore. It was even rare when it was released since you needed a Japanese proxy. Normally it [cost] 250 Euro new.

IMHO, the idea of paying substantially more for something only because it's rare is a kind of mental illness.
Okay, you have a "rare" item—what does that mean? It means you have something few other people do—including, presumably, some people who'd really like to have it, but can't. So you look at this thing, and you think, "Ha. I have something that other people want. But they can't have it, because it's mine."
In other words, it's based entirely on the envy and unhappiness of other people. Does that seem like a good way to live, a good way to practice being? I'm just saying.
For 250,000 Yen, I'd personally commission Busgamer or another artisan to make me a custom dye-subbed set.

I bid 100,000Yen on that, and was outbid at 101,000Yen. That doesn’t mean I’m stupid, or have any sort of mental illness at all and this is clearly a small amount of money for me. Now I did that fair, I put 100,000 since the start. But that person who is “richer” but only wants to outbid by 1000yen, now that’s a mentally retarded person because he only wants to **** up everyone’s experience, and probably joined only because of my absurd offer. Whoever you are, I just want to tell you this: it’s scratched :) little fcker
Here’s my purchasing plan:
NIB - 250,000 Yen
Used - 100,000 Yen - Now up to 150,000
Nissho - 150,000 Yen
I’m bidding these prices on the next one that comes out, good luck trying to outbid me.
Also, if anyone wants to give up their white Realforce Hipro, look at the above prices ;P
Damn you are ready to spend if you are willing to spend that much cash try that on mech market i am pretty sure you would get some reactions. orr just buy a Realforce 104UG
i know the buyer of 2 and can confirm he is not the seller of 3

Mannn i've been trying for 3 months,
1) BeamingRobot sold his Nissho caps to his friend, i was literally 10 mins late.
https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/78fqa1/sghkmac_nissho_dyesubs_artisans_wotd_koala_trades/
2) The 108UW sold in November on Yahoo auctions jp got sniped within 4 minutes, I was literally sleeping while it got sniped. (Seller was dumb enough to put a 25000Yen Buyout haha)
https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l416328268
Start date and time : November 11 (Sat) 23: 37
End date and time : November 11 (Saturday) 23: 41
3) This 108UW I lost as I thought 100,000 Yen was as far as anyone would go, if this particular winner had the balls to bid earlier, then I doubt he would've had the chance to win, but I literally lost by 1,000 Yen on the last possible second.
I believe I've just summed up all the major HiPro transactions that I've lost in the past 3 months.
So I guess maybe ranting about it here on this thread would make someone feel sorry for me and sell me his? Tearing up yet? :'(
edit: What if the Seller of (3) was the Buyer of (2)?
alisonica just wants a collection of rare keyboards. It likely has very little to do with actual typing. Collectors are rarely rational. :) It is more of a "gotta collect them all" mentality, because aliconica already has multiple HiPro boards, including white capped HiPro. I equate the desire to pay unreasonable amounts of money with the need for expensive handbags or shoes. It makes people feel special. Some people also take pleasure is making other's envious. I don't judge because a significant portion of our community has the same values, and even I will covet a rare board or two even if the typing experience is subpar.
Is the Nissho really ABS? I was almost certain it was PBT. How is ABS even possible? It is clearly dye-sublimated. They would have had to use completely different machinery to make ABS.

@sup: This :D
However, the main driving factor is the birth of the Norbaforce cases. If you’re gonna spend 384$ + Euro shipping and tax on a single case that will never be made again (I ordered 5 to help him reach MOQ faster), then you probably want a set of rare keps that will never be made again. Perhaps it’s just me, but i find HiPro keycap shapes to be mildly sensual as compared to GMK profiles. Justsystem released a crappy non-HiPro realforce RGB-but-without-RGB version this year.
But hey guys I love you all cause at first I thought I was becoming retarded for buying 2 razer keyboards, before falling into this Rabbithole and realizing that I’ve found my kind of people and a sense of belonging. So please if anyone finds a Nissho KB106DE, please help me obtain it!
Makes sense if i ever find a Nissho or a just systems board for sale i will hit you up :).
That's incorrect, they're dyseubbed PBT, they just tend to shine if they haven't been cleaned in a whilealisonica just wants a collection of rare keyboards.

I read it from a other guy that owns the Nissho Pro he can be wrong tho. He told me They are not thick PBT, to his understanding they are ABS, and about the same thickness as stock topre caps, although the construction is very different.

Thx <333 everyone's so nice here.
So...Did you win, alisonica? :)
Why can't they just make more of these?
Why can't they just make more of these?
Because it was a limited run with just systems and Topre. This year they have a limited version to but the only difference from the normal version is the label and 3 red colored keys.
December 2017's JustSystems model was also the first one using the new Realforce R2 case, which I suspect they will continue to use going forward. I'm not even sure if Topre plan to continue making Realforces with the old cases now :(

I got mine NIB for $200 or so a while back. This kind of bid warring is absolutely ridiculous. People looking for one need to relax and wait for a low priced opportunity. Prices on things in general are getting a bit out of hand.
I doubt the prices will go back down after the extreme bid battles lol. When you search for the keyboard you get this forum page as first result.
