Title: [ebay] HHKB Pro 2 no reserve
Post by: jameslr on Wed, 04 September 2013, 09:17:48
Here is a HHKB Pro 2 with no reserve. Currently at $.99 with 4d 12h remaining at time of this post creation. Might be worth watching - could potentially get a HHKB Pro 2 for cheap.

Now see, you're supposed to not tell anyone so that you don't have any bidding competition!

I'm placing a bid of $600 to make sure I win. I sure hope the seller doesn't extort me into paying that much though.

Don't understand why people doesn't wait till the end of the auctions when they are time based.
I know it's good for the seller but...  :p

^ this

Pretty much the reason why I don't know why people post these ebay auctions as "great deals" because the majority of these don't end up being such.

It's because people here have a habit of blowing as much money as they can to 'fit in'.


Or then the mentality of; 'Nevermind a good deal, just make sure I win this'

you just bought a metal realforce case... i wouldn't go around saying people spend money just to fit in. sometimes they have poor taste outside of external pressures.

I bought it because I like it. Not because I need to fit in. Mostly people immediately maxing auctions are new people that don't have much of a clue.

I watch these all the time they start real low and get bid to normal price all the time. Your better off buying in GH classifieds from one of the members here.

Ray, you should put your HHKB up on eBay. :D

That's easy I'll pay to send it to photoelectric and talk her into painting it for you hahaha.

Whoa...wait....has anyone ever had a custom painted HHKB?

Now if only she weren't on vacation  :o

The worse part is looking at prices of HHKB's and looking at how much I spent on my phantom so far  ??? (wish we had a vomit emoticon)

Sshhh, just let them have the illusion of saving money by bidding up to retail price instead of starting there in the first place.

I bid on it but everytime I did was outbid so either someone is shill bidding or someone put in a really high max bid.

So did anyone here win this one??

By the way just out of curiosity the seller had said it was new and barely used but I noticed the date on it was 05-2010, does that seem odd?
