Title: Did EK just drop the HHKB's price?
Post by: AKIMbO on Thu, 23 May 2013, 08:27:24: The HHKB2 is now $260 on EK's site. I could have sworn it was $270 a week ago.

Post by: Michael on Thu, 23 May 2013, 14:14:17: Maybe the value of the dollar will continue to be stronger vs Japanese currency and we can enjoy even lower prices ^_^

The yen just gained against the dollar. Wonder what's the cause of Brian's most recent price drop.

Post by: WhiteFireDragon on Thu, 23 May 2013, 14:44:48: It dropped an earth shattering $10? That's less than 4%. Maybe this will hit front page on slickdeals.

He's the only distributor, so he's in price competition with his own keyboards.

Post by: therecorder on Thu, 23 May 2013, 22:19:05: His prices on everything else have remained the same. IMHO, he wants to lower his stock on HHKB, realizing that once the FC660C is restocked, for a while anyway, the FC660C is going to be the desired Topre purchase.

Post by: esoomenona on Thu, 23 May 2013, 22:22:40: Maybe he's reached a point in his stock where his balanced price warranted a decrease, prior to that currency fluctuation.
