Title: HHKB Pro2 (white, blank keys)
Post by: aon on Thu, 09 February 2012, 09:44:02

Hey,

I'm selling my HHKB Pro2. I bought the unit in 2008 which is also the year when it was built. It's like new, cleaned and disinfected, comes in the factory box. The reason I'm selling it is because I do a lot of CAD and such which is easier with a more standard keyboard (namely, a Model M).

Price is 250 USD or 180 EUR (or a decent offer) and includes shipping by air mail to anywhere in the world. For payment I can accept at least SEPA bank transfer, liberty reserve, paypal, moneybookers, alertpay or bitcoins. Other ways are negotiable unless the fees are insane (or you're willing to pay them :)).

This keyboard is also a minor celebrity - it's the unit shown on the Wikipedia page for HHKB :)

I think it's just a matter of them not being available here for less than 300€ so there is room to ask for a price better than retail even if the keyboard is years old.

I don't know, I just checked how much they cost online these days and dropped the price based on gut feeling. Judging by the amount of PM's I got I wasn't that much off :-)

I made you an offer... well, accepted your asking price.  Your statement "Sold, I think" does not make it clear whether you are accepting my offer or someone has beaten me to it.  Please clarify.

Sold or not?  I didn't hear back about my PM one way or the other.

Dang!  I need an HHKB in my sig.  ;-)

I wouldn't mind having a Choc mini, too... and/or a CM QuickFire Rapid (w/reds)...
