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

Post by: jwaz on Wed, 29 August 2012, 23:31:51: Well, judging from this I'm not paying more than 200 shipped for a used HHKB...
Title: Re: eBay: Black HHKB Pro2
Post by: Glissant on Thu, 30 August 2012, 03:15:07: It ended at $187.50. That's an alright price, depending on the amount of use.
