Title: Topre Realforce 103U-UW (White/Gray)
Post by: mjacob on Sun, 17 April 2011, 19:23:32

I'm selling a gently used white/gray Realforce 103U that I got in November of 2010. It has about 4 weeks of actual use on it. This is the "UW" package, so it includes a Realforce badge, key stoppers, and a keypuller.

As you can see from the pictures below, everything is immaculate. I took the keys off for a full cleaning, and I haven't used the board since I reassembled it. It's now back in the original Topre box and ready to be packaged up for shipping.

The price is $174---a 29% discount on EK's price. Buyer pays actual shipping costs. You can use 85701 to price out shipping to your location, and the weight will be 5-6 lbs. Payment via Amazon Payments is preferred, but I'll also accept PayPal if buyer pays fees.

My badge and stoppers are still in the bag, so I'm going to blatantly steal and post a picture from EK:

Would you be interested in a trade + cash on my end?  I've got a Filco Tenkeyless with MX blacks up for sale.

Sorry, but not particularly interested in trades unless there's something really interesting on the other end.

A bump and a note:

It appears that the 103U-UW is no longer available at EK, so the cheapest 103U you can get your hands on is $245 from EK. Given that, I think $200 is a good price for a keyboard that's still in like-new condition (especially in CA, where taxes alone will bring the EK price up to $270 before shipping).

This keyboard looks so great.  I really think that the white topres > the black ones.  They just look so classy. GLWS.

Yep the keyboard is great :)  I bought mines at EK when they were on sale with keypuller.  Wonder if they will stock the silent RealForces.

What is a silent RealForce?  Is this a new keyboard with the topre switches that is more quiet than the current Realforces available on Elitekeyboards?  If so, where are they available now?
