Has Ekitekeyboards stopped shipping to the rest of the World ? The last listing of one of these KBDS was considered to be fishy, this 87U (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250642819774#ht_4937wt_1137) seems to be authentic, please confirm.
-
images (including the banners that read "eBay") are hosted on the actual elitekeyboards website. So it should be real. Auction as is is a shame, I just ordered the same realforce like 3 days ago at full price. Maybe could have saved some here. Oh well.
-
Just read the details at the bottom of the listing. The "Other item info" of "Post to: United States" was a little misleading.
Seems Elitekeyboards are using eBay to promote more business, there's also a FILCO (http://cgi.ebay.com/FILCO-Majestouch-Tenkeyless-Tactile-Touch-Keyboard-/250642947184?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item3a5b7bdc70#ht_4353wt_1137) Tenkeyless with Cherry MX Brown listing.
Unfortunately, I have to refrain from bidding and stick to my original decision to purchase only 2 more keyboards, when you get up in the morning and trip over a keyboard, it becomes just too much.

no kidding, but all that has done is improve my jumping skills =)
(sadly not a joke or even a slight exaggeration)
I noticed that particular (realforce) Elitekeyboards listing yesterday and I thought it was legit and a great idea for a used keyboard. He also mentioned in a recent post that he might do that.
-
Haha if we can persuade them to introduce keyboard hurdling as an Olympic event, we could form a world-beating relay team.
-
Sounds good to me!
I figure with all the dancing around I do to avoid falling on my keyboards my toes will soon be dexterous enough to type with! I am already tempted =P
-
That's the spirit!

My new rule: buy a new keyboard, get rid of 2 keyboards.

Oops, good eye.

Hey now, I was talking about collectibles and said CAN be that small of a percentage of mint original, not that they ALWAYS were. We were talking about a 30 year old AT Model F and the difference in value of used good condition vs. Mint sealed is a pretty big difference. This is a little different, but I do see your perspective.
Whoever got that 55g got a smoking deal.
Glad to see Magestouch selling on ebay... still waiting for a White 87u. :)

After I shelled out for one of these on leopold, he better not list one.

Are you saying you have a White 87u for sale/trade? :)
-
After the hoops I had to jump through to get the thing I'd be more inclined to auction off my left stone before I sell the Realforce.
-
That's still the case.
I used http://www.buyfromkorea.kr/ which ended up being expensive - he accepts paypal.
If anyone plans to buy from there in future, the webmaster from leopold recommends using gmarket:
"If you are difficult to make payment, I recommend you to buy Gmarket which is subsidiary company of Ebay in Korea.
Web is as below;
==================
http://www.gmarket.co.kr/index_eng.asp"
I had already committed myself to buyfromkorea by the time I got his reply though.

Hmmm that's tempting, I have missed having a topre to use in rotation since I sold the three I had. (103u white/87u black variable/87u black 55g)
It's really too bad more foreign sites don't accept paypal. If they did they would make a lot more money.
