That's a great deal, although I already have one, you're not gonna beat that. Hard to find NIB too. Nice find.

I have sold dirty and well used FK-2001s without the cover for $30 shipped, this is a really good deal for anyone interested in this keyboard.

Same, it's a shame that the shipping is so overpriced but even at that it's a steal.

I do believe that was the actual number of ripster's posts before he got banned. Seriously.

They are double-boxing which preserves the original box.

That drives the shipping way up because of both size and weight.

Good deal and good keyboard.

“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.”"

$30 shipping wtf.

I saw one of these go for the same price but with reasonable shipping like a month ago. Not worth.

It looks to be a very late-gen one.  Notice the unusual editing block layout-- it has those power/sleep/wake keys that were in vogue for a few years in the late 90s.

$60+ for priority shipping?  I need to go over there and club you with a flat-rate box, thanks muchly.

Shipping price is partly dependent on location. I'm seeing $20 shipping to my location, for example. And as fohat mentioned, it's double-boxed to protect the original packaging, which drives up the shipping costs.

I'm sure you could probably fit the box inside a game board flat rate box. A lot of people who sell things don't enable flat rate prices because they try to get some extra money. But if you message them and let them know it will fit in a flat rate box, sometimes they oblige you and enable the option.

It is a great deal. I sold a "like new" one for $65 a year ago.

These are good white Alps, perhaps that switch has fallen out of favor.

I've heard the Winkeyless versions are preferred.

Earlier boards had complicated alps - these are likely simplified.
