Wouldn't all new Cherry switches be the same quality?

it's expensive because it's a well made product unlike many massproduced cherry-based boards. when dealing with topre please leave your conception of 'fair' price at the door :P

Well still 2 days until the auction ends, so expect the price to go up drastically near the end.

Well, judging from this I'm not paying more than 200 shipped for a used HHKB...

It ended at $187.50. That's an alright price, depending on the amount of use.
