Genius! I really want to try that Topre. I'm assuming you're not sending to the US.

In May/June I'll post the US/CANADA switch try bag again. There will be a Topre tryswitch inside it.( Amongst Buckling Spring, Most cherry MX/MY/ML, most Alps, most common dampeners, most common keycap materials, most common keycap lettering, some rare/vintage keyswitches and even a spherical keycap ). I'm going to call it the mechanical keyboard starter kit. :-)

The brown one was for me.

The blue one is a gift. I got it 11 buisness days after I ordered and paid for 3-5 days shipping.

EK still has not responded, so I called.

Of course, I gave the red one to my friend, I promised him a keyboard (didn't get in time for his Bday tho because shipping took more than twice what it was supposed to take). He is willing to swap, he likes blues better.

Guy at EK says: ''Send me the KB right now, and I'll send you another''.
So I have to take the gift back from my friend, and tell him to wait another 15 days until he gets his keyboard, which he should have goten 5 days ago already.

He does not care about duty fees and I might end up paying another 20$ for receiving the keyboard.

2 Keyboards : 220$  + 30$shipping + 40$ duty = 290$ + 20$ duty(again!) = 310$
   Also: 1 month an a half until I get the two keyboards I ordered.

As someone who has yet to try out any of the MX switches, or even a BS for that matter, and is trying to find out which to buy first, I think this idea is pretty damn awesome! Definitely gonna pick up some of these things when you'd be willing to sell them to the US.
