Title: Likelihood of this selling?
Post by: FerretBuster on Mon, 12 March 2012, 16:48:26

OK I'm burning to buy myself a Filco with blues, specifically this one - http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_details.asp?PRODUCT=648

But I am worried that this won't sell - http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?28452-Filco-Majestouch-2-Cherry-mx-browns-Full-Size-UK-Layout&p=541288#post541288

I have the capital to buy a Filco with blues now, however I don't want to get it then end up with two boards. Also if I happen to hate the blues for some reason (Which I highly doubt - how easy will a fullsize blue board be to sell?)

NOTE: These are UK layout and I will sell within the UK only.

Is this just advertising in disguise? Seems like it, of-course it will sell it's a Filco, just give it time and if necessary drop the price a little after a given time.

I can remove the link it if you want. That is definitely not what I was trying to do.

No not at all, it just seemed a little strange asking if a Filco will sell, I'd be hard pressed to not buy it myself had I not just recently made a large keyboard purchase.

I think you are fine on both counts. Your TKL w/ browns should sell no problem, and I don't think it is all that hard to sell a full size board either. Some people really need that ten key.

it has been up for [STRIKE]ONE[/STRIKE] TWO days.. full size filcos don't sell as quickly as tenkeyless, but they eventually sell. like first guy said, give it time.

I know how long it's been up, I was just wondering - I have no Idea how fast Filco's sell from within the UK. Let alone ones that are full size. I just want to feel a bit more secure if I purchase the Filco with blues before my Filco brown sells.

You'll be fine, I'm sure someone out there, somewhere, is willing to buy it.

Try offering a free hat with it.

I could mod the browns to blues instead but that probably no the best optiob
