I really hope the second one doesn't go for much more than what it's at now. It's actually in rougher shape than the one that just sold.

Can't you contact the seller to see if they will ship, or is it just too expensive to ship it down under?

For some reason, I always think you are in the US....

The going international rate for a hefty keyboard is about $75

Post by: smknjoe on Sun, 21 July 2013, 18:50:09: Well, $240 total with shipping doesn't seem all that unreasonable considering that they are almost impossible to find in EU and AUS (from what I've heard.) I guess it depends on the buyer though. I wouldn't pay that much, but that's because I know I can get them cheaper.

Yeah, this :(

And there is always the risk of shipping damage over such a large distance.

Post by: Techno Trousers on Mon, 22 July 2013, 15:45:06: Yeah, I just need to get one myself! Just can't bring myself to spend over $150 on one. That would make it my priciest keyboard ever, and it just doesn't seem right to spend 3 times as much for 2/3 of a Model M. :)
