In 9 days, I'm going to estimate it'll hit $470.
Still a great find though.

EDIT: 270, I thought it was the S.

Post by: fossala on Mon, 05 March 2012, 01:24:00: Why would it hit $470? They are only $300 new from EK.

I bet he uses Gentoo.

EDIT: And I'm still learning the ins and outs of HHKBs. Topre switches have been in my thoughts lately.

PhD students will tell absolutely everyone that they are a PhD student given the opportunity to do so...

P.s., I'm a PhD student too.

Haha, might of been possible if it wasn't posted here on GH but this thread basically meant the death of the auction for us.

Looks like its heading into the $250 range which isn't much of a deal anymore.

... BUT OWNED BY A PH.D student :).

Post by: Typhaeon on Thu, 15 March 2012, 07:30:18: $44 is a pretty slim margin between a new and used model. The guy didn't provide any sort of description of his usage, so there's no way to gauge wear and tear anyway.

Good luck to whoever got it.

Haha I know I was expecting someone to make a thread about it the whole time, or to be bid up really high but neither thing happened lol. The craziest part is the guy said it was a gift and he never used it.
