Title: Ebay[UK] - Space Saving
Post by: InSanCen on Sun, 29 May 2011, 18:37:33

I might well cheese those off that are watching it, but I have no interest in it (You can pry my numpad out of my cold dead hands!)...

Have fun, I'll watch the bloodbath from the sidelines.

relative low price for BIN, but seller only ships within the UK.  Good luck to those who are in the UK.  I would BIN!

Relatively low BIN price, but seller doesn't ship to outside of the UK.  Good luck to buyers who are in the UK.  The cable doesn't look original though.

White balance issue maybe?

Hum, It looks to me the cable is in black color.  Did some beige SSK models shipped with black color cable?  But if it works, that would be fine.

Nah that is just a regular coloured cable; it's just odd lighting.

The keyboard itself looks like it has a yellow tint.  These rarely yellow like that, so I wonder if that's a lighting/camera issue as well.

the seller now will send the keyboard to the US.  Some one from the US just BIN already!

Sold! I emailed the seller. He replied that he would sent to US for extra cost. I checked ebay again and it was already sold.

Sorry to hear that mmmty.  They will show up again.  That was a pretty good deal.  I was tempted to buy it just for the heck of it.  The 75 pound BIN price was a good deal, given the going price.
