(I believe this one is reaper's)

[STRIKE]Black HHKB[/STRIKE] (Got one!) + white, lettered keys. If you are interested in selling one or both of these items, please let me know.

If I'm forced to buy new from EK, I would also love to trade the black key set for a white one. If this interests you, let me know and I'll buy the appropriate version (lettered or blank) to trade with you.

I've been stalking the marketplace for one as well. I was eventually able to pick one up for around $250 - a Black with Blank Black keys. I ordered the white printed keys recently since I am also aiming for that look. I've been stalking for white printed keys for a while (or any keys in general), and there only seems to be WTB threads, never FS/FT :( I decided to stop wasting time and just bought the keys new.

Good luck!

Post by: lightsout714 on Wed, 29 February 2012, 22:18:28: No luck huh. I'm tempted to scrap all these group buys and pick one up. But damn $335 shipped is rough. And they don't appear to come up for sale often.

Post by: jpm804 on Thu, 01 March 2012, 00:22:20: Before the EK price jumps on them.. used HHKB's seemed more affordable even last year. I would see some HHKB's around $200's or sometimes lower and sometimes those took awhile to sell.

Got mine for under 200 and was glad i got it before the inflation....

GL with finding on Haz..... here is some more inspiration.

I think in europe this price have been the standard price for used HHKB Pro 2 for a long time. When I joined Geekhack Lam was selling his white HHKB Pro 2 with lettering for 180€, this week I bought a black HHKB Pro 2 from Rehal at deskthority for 180€+ 20€ shipped.

That sucks. So I guess they just figured they were the only source so jack up the price.?

1 - Have you noticed the US economy and the US dollar are in the toilet? Could that be the reason? I think it just could be, and, quite possibly, might be.

2 - Not the only source at all http://www.smartimports.net/categories/Keyboards/

And free bump BTW

Post by: hashbaz on Mon, 05 March 2012, 15:41:21: My HHKB is in the mail! I have a lead on some white caps, but it's not solid yet. Still looking, will gladly trade my black set when it arrives.

Thanks! I was able to buy one from a member. Shipping from Canada made the deal more expensive than I was hoping for, but still significantly cheaper than buying new from EK.
Title: [FOUND!] HHKB white key set
Post by: lightsout714 on Mon, 05 March 2012, 17:48:29: Thats great. I almost went for one but I would have had to ditch all these current group buys so I decided against it. Post your thoughts about it when you get it.

Congrats on getting one Haz,,,,,wlcm to the club. Make sure to post some pics when you get it in.

I was trying to look for a used white set when I was trying to do the same thing... bit the bullet and just bought it new from EK since I was buying something else and saved on shipping at least.
