Title: Should I buy this?
Post by: Translucent on Tue, 18 October 2011, 02:12:11

A little advice please. I'm new to mechs, and I've been offered to buy a keyboard model I haven't had a chance to try and that I'm not sure if I'm going to like. It's a barely used Topre Realforce 88U for $175 shipped.
Wasn't really looking for one but I recognized the name from here. Do you think it's worth taking a chance on it for that price?

I would thats a good price and if you don't like it your likely to get close to what you payed for it if you decide to turn around and sell it

I wouldn't buy a realforce if i had trouble justifying the price. If you can't pay your bills, I don't recommend spending 200 bucks on a keybaord at all.

No no, I can afford it, it's just that I'm having trouble deciding. I do realize though that I really should be asking myself rather than others.

Screw that I would get it, great price if you can afford it.

If you're not going to share the source, then this doesn't belong in this section of the forum.
For that price I would jump on it though.

Second that, a realforce for under $200 is a great deal and even if you don't like it, I'm sure many people here would glady buy that for $175 + shipping off of you.

Ok, I will go ahead with the deal :)
And sorry if the thread doesn't belong here.
