Title: Topre Realforce 103UB 55g (Black)
Post by: insertinanename on Mon, 07 March 2011, 14:56:04

For sale is a Topre Realforce 103UB 55g.  I bought this from EliteKeyboards late last year, around November 2010 I believe.  

I haven't used it all that much -- I was planning to bring my Filco Cherry Brown keyboard home and use the Topre at work, but in the end, I enjoyed the Filco cherry browns much more.

So my loss is your gain!

I'm looking for $200 + shipping.  

No shipping required if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area and are willing to meet up in person.

Pictures available on request, though I don't have any handy on me at the moment.

according to ripster, a lot of sales in the classifieds means that RF's are bad.

I think a lot of people want to try cherry reds.

agreed. i think the abundance of "cheap" cherry boards are causing some to question the price and jump ship

I have personally sold a lot of Realforces on here: 1 103UB, 2 103UB 55gs and 1 86U.

At first I was obsessed with Realforces, to be perfectly honest. When I got the bug to try some different cherry switches (reds and clears) I was surprised at how much I liked them. In any case though, it's an expensive hobby. With my Kustom Cherry keyboards came replacement doubleshot keys, switches, etc.

When's all's said and done, I'm still over $500 on keyboards, but wayyy less than I was before. GH classifieds helped a lot with that.

I once tried a red cherry and it was kinda messy.

Same here. Cherry brown it is.
