Title: Realforce 87U 55g
Post by: keyboardlover on Mon, 22 November 2010, 07:46:06

Someone should put in an offer for this bad boy...they're very difficult to find these days!

EDIT: Just realized the case is damaged a bit. Be sure you know what you're getting into if you do make an offer!

definitely shouldn't go for the 250. Not sure if there is anyone interested in a Realforce with a damaged shell for over 200.

Agreed...why on earth would you drop a Realforce?? Seriously...

With the damage, I wouldn't pay more than $100 for it.

I offered up to $150 but they kept getting rejected. Seller is probably looking for $200+.

IMHO that's not a smart way to sell that keyboard. I'd accept $150 and move on with my life.

$100 sounds about right.

seller is willing to accept somewhere close to $200! Don't ask me how I know.

Perhaps the seller has a panda on the inside? ;)
(They communicate via bamboo).

TEHEHEHE

no but I made an offer not realizing it was all 55g, want vari-super-force.

oh and I didn't read the description that it was dropped and damaged :P

$200 is an unfair expectation for a keyboard damaged as such. I would have listed this at $150 and then watch the bidding come in.

On second thought, I also would have not dropped it in the first place.
