Saw the dust on the pictures and re-dusted it again, it must have came off the cloth i used to wipe the silicon off the keys after putting the stabilizers back on (sorry about the color distortion, my room isn't exactly properly lit for a photo shoot)
ships from new york city
keyboard was used for about a week, so its practically new
edit: forgot to mention it comes with the plastic cover,red wasd and filco keycap puller, just like a brand new set
edit 2: for allof you guys that think this is overpriced, think about it this way, i paid 165 from amazon for the keyboard, i then bought a set of pbt 104 keycaps from imsto for 72 dollars, so that is 237 total cost i am facing right now. to buy a new one (if you can find one readily) would be 225 + shipping, so somewhere in the neighborhood of 235 if you are lucky to get shipping from asia for 10 dollars realistically more like 15-20 so this is actually a pretty level deal, considering ninja caps are more of a niche item that can be resold if you have caps you would rather use. so anyone who offers 200 shipped for an item like this needs to do some research. maybe now you understand that all i'm trying to do is break somewhat even.
bottom line : if you want a keyboard of this quality/"rarity" (pretty sure this is the only linear-r ninja you have seen) you gotta spend the money.

Care to trade it for a Comfort keyboard system (programmable articulating rubber dome keyboard) ?

Fool. He sent me the most illiterate pointless PM I've ever seen.
-
nah bro I'm not illiterate, you just sent me a piece of crap offer which i promptly turned down as it was basically an insult.
you're the one calling people fools and throwing down insultingly low offers
clearly doesn't know that the linear-r never came with ninja caps stock.
-
So if you put the regular keycaps will the price go down? I was never a fan of the whole ninja kbs

Such rage from everyone in here. It's not hard to just say no, or counter offer. Trying to make him look bad in here, even though he lowballed you just makes you look like a douche too.
Just hug it out dammit.
-
That made me lolz. haha.
He has a point tho.
-
i mean i do not have any more stock caps, i should have group buy 3 caps coming in soon >.> but i really do not like the ninja caps, unless you want some checkered abs filco keycaps, but the price wouldn't go down too far for those

did I mention it was 205 shipped with shipping to Israel 32 dollars? so less than 180 for a almost brand new linear-r tenkeyless with non stock keycaps? I don't think it's only me that would consider that a pretty sad offer. does it now make sense why I am insulted by that pm and why such rudeness was returned?
yeah if that doesn't help you see why I was insulted, I have no idea what will. I mean if you do not even know what these boards are even going for, do some research before throwing a pm; or even do some research after seeing why someone is so rude to you instead of thread crapping all over this seller's post. I have sold a few things on here without a hitch because the people knew what these items were worth and reasonable offers were placed.
I mean i do not even think my response was TOTALLY rude anyway...

Shipping to Israel is $32.87 - would you do $205 shipped?(end quote)
"you do realize i'm not going to fall for that right? new filco tenkeyless reds sell for 230+ shipping via group buy with abs keys, ninja keycaps are a premium. no one wants 104 key reds."
literally i thought the offer was a joke and i responded accordingly... i probably should ahve said 104 key linear-r aren't in demand not "no one wants a 104"
-
You know, it's not nice to share someone's PMs publicly. Also, you should not be insulted by any offer. Some people lowball, and sometimes it works for them. It's perfectly legit to try. Just say no if you don't like the offer, no drama needed. Just say no, or give the lowest counter-offer you would go with.
-
i told him no and he continued to pm me and thread crap me, and frankly i am thread crapping my self by feeding this flame of bull****, so frankly its over and i'm trying to sell my keyboard for a fair price.
-
To be fair, not everyone knows the going market for some keyboards. When I first came on here, I was confused as to why reds were more expensive when filcos on amazon with ninja keycaps were only $10 more but still only $150. Didn't the reds originally sell on amazon for $160? Whatever the case, the PM I assume is referencing Leotnnz 104 Linear R and that was probably his point of reference. Maybe he was lowballing you, or maybe he was comparing a similar keyboards in Filco Reds to yours (but wanted TKL), and asked accordingly via pm; ninja being premium is subjective IMO, but they're still ABS I'm pretty sure from my own use. It looks like you took it to the thread first. Anyway that was my crap on the thread, sorry couldn't help it. Good luck though, this is the price I usually see the TKL's anyway. Just remember not everyone knows that.
-
the way i feel about ninja keycaps being a premium is that, if you wanted ninja keycaps on a linear -r you would need to buy both a linear-r and another ninja keyboard. then you would need to swap the caps, and then resell the other keyboard. i'm pretty sure its considered a premium to not have to deal with that entire line of work? plus you are bound to lose at least 20 dollars doing that plus shipping costs and what not
-

It was exactly $164 for a Filco tenkeyless reds on Amazon. Just looked up the invoice (March '11).
-
yeah but the current going rate for a linear-r is around 225? cue ripster supply demand chart?
-
cash only or is there anything you would consider trading for?
-
I would say paypal only, as I am no longer interested in any more keyboards, I'm at my limit of physical pc's in my household.

What most people conveniently ignore, is that people *****ing about "high prices" is a part of the whole supply/demand model.
