shipping is a bit much though, there are 6 of these available.

When the seller initially listed these, shipping was free for about half an hour before they changed it to $40-50 CONUS.

As was pointed out on DT, the shipping is so exorbitant now that shipments to Europe could cost in excess of $1300.

Plus, without a shot of the bottom plate it's difficult to say with 100% certainty these are actually Fs and not early Ms, as early M122s looked almost exactly identical to their older cousins.

Mea culpa, they uploaded a shot of the bottom plate today.

£60 to the UK Oo . Not exactly cheap, but not a grand either.

I mean I know Oz is really far away but it's almost like they're sending it via interplanetary express Oo .

The US Post Office offers a "Flat Rate" box for priority mail that goes to anywhere (with certain exceptions having to do with politics, not geography, like much of Africa) for $78

At least you know that you can always have that for an upper limit if you are selling a keyboard.

And the seller just raised the price on the remaining ones by another $30. Very classy indeed.
