They weren't selling at $16.95 (or whatever the previous price was), so why not quadruple the price?  :p 

Don't get me wrong, Ellipse is doing a good thing with his new Model F project, but this I just don't understand.  At least sell a non-reject barrel if you're going to sell anything. 

Each to their own, I guess.  *shrug*

"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

Or free advertising for the actual keyboards?

"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

Or maybe it's the kind of thing where you get so personally invested in a project, it seems as though everything about it is remarkable and valuable?

$80 for a defective barrel? I can only assume he believes these will become a collectors item.

Sorry for the exorbitant price - I can't sell the keyboards yet on eBay because the stock is not in hand.  The listing will sell the keyboards once they are in stock and I have fulfilled all orders to date.

If anyone wants one with their keyboard order let me know and I can include one for a few bucks.  Or maybe I'll do some giveaways at keycon in a couple weeks?
