I wouldn't wait for a reply - just throw it in a cart and have it tell you.  That's what I did, it was fairly straight forward.  They'll also tack on some extra "taxes" and the like at AG which I didn't see added to the price by PCHome.

Add 1425TWD to your order for shipping alone to the US.

Total 5725TWD(including paypal fees) = roughly $195 USD

$200 for reds? no thx..

Now it is $5661.00 NTD, around $186.83 CAD, including shipping, handling and sales tax in Taiwan.

Guess I will buy a KBC poker with red instead. Maybe costs me $100 or some.

At least armygroup is cheaper than my quote from obook.
Still expensive though.
KBC Poker or Filco... hmm

The more I think about it; I'm leaning towards not buying any plate-mounted board with reds. Reason being, a red switch for the space bar is REALLY annoying and I wouldn't be able to replace it without re-soldering. Best to swap it with a clear or gray switch (or SOMEthing heavier).

A real man knows how to solder.
