Starting at around $100

Looks like they might not end up being all that great a deal...  ::)

I like how he says he decided to stick with the variable weight version in his 55g sale, and how he decided to stick with the 55g version in his variable weight sale :))

>The high starting bid is my attempt to recapture my buying expense from purchasing from an overseas reseller, which cost about an extra $100 in fees/shipping.

Basically, he's not selling these to anyone at a bargain -- which is why one would buy a used/like-new item on eBay.

He also states that the 55g has hangul keycaps which are only available in Korea but the pictures clearly don't show hangul keycaps... I'm tempted to bid though... in the hopes of getting a really low price... I really want the white keycaps for my future 660C, AND I want a 55g.

I have watched several of these they start low but near the end they get up in price. But you never know unless you try.

Amen to that! I shall try! I really wouldn't mind scavenging money here and there for a decently priced 55g... :))
