Post by: mistakemistake on Sun, 03 November 2013, 19:17:38
Hey all, I know these are super rare, but... I'm looking for a Realforce 23UB. 

I have a 24'' LED Apple Cinema Display 1920x1200 for partial trade. Let me know!

Why did realforce stop making them anyway?

Poor sales would be my guess. $120~150 for a numpad....super small niche market. :)

The 23u is still in production though, right?

Both of them are still in production, EK just recently sold out (few months) of the white ones, and they never re-upped on the black since there was not a large market for that product. Wait long enough and you shall receive.

You sure? They've been out of stock everywhere for a while now and most vendors have indicated that they've been discontinued.

I'm just happy to have one 23UB, now if I can just find a white one. I had the false impression that the black was discontinued and the white was still being made. Now I'm kicking myself for not ordering one sooner on EK.

I've spoken to EK and they told me if we can get enough interest they would meet us half way on the MOQ which would be 150 for us, per color. I've been thinking of organizing this after all the Phantom R2 stuff gets sorted out.

Darn, I shoulda just kept the 23U for you Bunny

Didn't know you needed one

Geeze make me feel bad here :)

But really as Bro Caps stated we could do an IC to see if we could meet half the MOQ needed for a limited run. I know I'd buy a 23ub

I've heard they have been totally discontinued, maybe a new model coming...?


This message i get from local distributor about the 23U

About the REALFORCE 23 was discontinued last year. Please wait till new model coming out.
 
Best Regards
Hidenori / Topre

They will release new model guys ^_^

^^ :D

Awesome thanks SpAmRaY, let's get a group buy going for that when it happens.

Yes either the 23u or 23ub. It's based on us helping them meet the MOQ.

I'd personally go for the ub as well.

Although things always can change, this is the info I got in the last month.

You can put me down for a 23ub, helping us reach the magic number  ;)

Let me validate with EK again and I'll put an IC thread up. In the mean time let's stop cluttering mistakemistake's thread :)

GLWB!
