I'm guessing it would be in the region of 70 bucks with tracking
Was considering a swap with a gh member in canada and it was roughly 65 w/ tracking and insurance to get my 86 out there iirc

But yeah stupidly good price for you guys, even at full price

Oh DAMN.  Here I have invested lots of money into Cherry-based paraphernalia, and you go showing us this.

I will not be attracted to a TOPRE.........will resist....... will not be spending anymore money on Keyboards for this Month.

Must.......resist.......

Unfortunately PC Case Gear doesn't ship internationally anyway, but I'm sure it would make it significantly less worth it for international customers anyway.

Don't bother. They feel completely different from Cherry boards.

hm...I'm not sure if people on these boards do that kind of thing. Would somebody buy me one and ship it to Germany?

Bit the bullet and bought myself one... Did I need it? No. Did I want it? Hellz yes!  Lucky I did, It went back up to the normal price yesterday...

Still, at it's normal price of AUS$269, the 87U is still a darn sight better than the US$345 Elitekeyboards are charging!

Be warned - you gets no coloured wasd set/red escape with the pccg boards for some reason....
not sure if this is worth $170 with shipping from EK though :)

Yeah I noticed that, no biggy... It's a nice little extra but at the end of the day, the $170 (plus delivery) saving you get COMPLETELY outweigh any extra keycaps (unless they were made of platinum!).  I think we must get the standard edition here in Oz.

Kind of a mix bag of feelings at the moment... Still a little sore about spending so much on a 'board (be it a very VERY nice lil'board) yet so glad I managed to get it for A$219... So conflicted!  The pain is seeping away with every session of typing on the board... :)
