Title: Buying a Cherry G80 3494, a struggle?
Post by: nilsso on Sun, 06 February 2011, 11:32:19
Hi. (Talking red MX switches).

1. Ive been looking around many places on the inet, even trying to translate Asian inet shops to maybe figure out if it comes cheaper that way, does anybody know if it does?

2. Also wondering if there are cheaper places than the ebay shop. The prize seems a bit high to me compared to what they sell it for online in those shops (~10-20dollar). I'm living in northern Europe, if that helps.

3. If there is no other choice, where should i order from, America's(.com) ebay or Englands(.co.uk) ebay or maybe another one?

Thanks.

I believe that thread is sold.

What is that price tag NT$4990? I know it cant be 4990 dollar. What How would it be compared to the Ebay one?
Thanks.

armygroup also has the 3494.
they are just as reliable as pchome.

I would usually buy from pchome, but they are out of stock.

EDIT:
NT$4990 is in taiwan dollars, just convert.
It is the same item as the one listed in ebay pretty much.

Do you know if that would be overall cheaper than buying it from Ebay? I have no idea how Shipping prices and such work.
Thanks.

My guess would be that there may be a difference of $5 or $10 but I doubt much more than that. At least that was how it was with PCHome. Not sure how much ArmyGroup charges for shipping though.

BTW, I love this keyboard. You won't regret it!
