Post by: litster on Fri, 10 June 2011, 02:44:14: Too bad, they are all gone already. Now that I have typed on my white Filco with MX reds, I want another red board. A black one would do, If I could find one.

Post by: Tempy on Fri, 10 June 2011, 11:04:06: with 18 feedback, seems shady
Title: Filco 87 Cherry Reds popping up on ebay
Post by: litster on Fri, 10 June 2011, 11:37:46: true, but we all were 18 before, in more ways than one. I hope this seller is legit so we can buy from him in the future.

Why does the seller have a picture of the Filco Ninja?

I asked the seller about that and he said that he just had the wrong picture up and that he was going to change it.

Good choice.

That's not my pic.

So you stole it from somewhere. Sounds a case of pot vs kettle.

Really tempted but only the low number of feedbacks has me worried.
Title: Filco 87 Cherry Reds popping up on ebay
Post by: mmmty on Sat, 11 June 2011, 00:35:57: There is ebay buyer protection. I got scammed on ebay once a long, long time ago but was able to get my money back after filing dispute. Overall the seller looks safe enough. He did sell to people with a lot of feedbacks.

his reviews were for charcoal pencils and many of them were as buyer not seller
Title: Filco 87 Cherry Reds popping up on ebay
Post by: mmmty on Sat, 11 June 2011, 00:47:57: Or you can wait until people that bought his keyboards start giving feedbacks. Hopefully the keyboards are not all gone by then. Another good sign is that the guy's been on ebay since May-19-10.
Title: Filco 87 Cherry Reds popping up on ebay
Post by: ethics- on Sat, 11 June 2011, 01:06:33: His price went up $20. Says that his supplier is charging him $20 more per. My ass.

Hum, I only see Filco red in 104 key format on Amazon for $179 (http://www.amazon.com/Filco-Majestouch-2-ASCII-Switch-FKBN104MR/dp/B004OX4HWG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308181588&sr=8-1). I don't see any TKL Filco reds though.

Post by: Bucky on Wed, 15 June 2011, 18:49:53: Indeed you are right, I saw the red and must have spaced out because I thought I had seen a TKL, which I obviously had not!
Title: Filco 87 Cherry Reds popping up on ebay
Post by: mmmty on Wed, 15 June 2011, 20:34:04: So, 10keyless red in white are all gone. There is one 104 keys red in white for $250 + $23 shipping - yikes!!! :eek: You can buy a Realforce with that.

Post by: mmmty on Wed, 15 June 2011, 22:44:23: I knew you'd be in here checking for TKLs so I used 10keyless.

Post by: rsantos97 on Fri, 17 June 2011, 13:40:29: Just received my Filco tenkeyless red from this seller today. The shipping was super fast. I ordered on Friday 6/10 and got it on Friday 6/17, so it took exactly one week to get it. The keyboard is very nice. Smooth and soft keystrokes. Now I have to decide what to do with my other keyboards.

Post by: jnsjr on Fri, 17 June 2011, 23:03:57: I got mine as well. I would recommend this seller.
Title: Filco 87 Cherry Reds popping up on ebay
Post by: litster on Fri, 17 June 2011, 23:56:41: just like the first red I got, both new reds are the same. If you put your ear next to the keyboard and hit the key normal to hard, you hear some high Hz ping sound from the key bottoming out, and with a few keys you can hear the spring makes the springie noise when the key comes back up. But that is like trying to stab yourself to verify that you can bleed. Having your ear next to the keyboard make it very hard to type and look at the screen at the same time, even if you are awesome at touch typing. And you look like a complete dork while doing this. So really, why do it? I only hear the normal bottoming out sound when I type while sitting upright, my normal typing position.
