Let's watch what price the free market decides for a HHKB. Would it be 200? 250? Or will some lucky buyer get away with 150?
I personally think the seller made a mistake to list it at 50 starting bid. It means nothing. Ebay will just charge you a fee for that.
Either list it at zero since you know there is an active market for HHKB, or list it at a reserve price that protects you from an unexpected loss.

Dammit, I was hoping no one would find that. I was hoping to see if I could snag it cheap.
-
Oh nice I can have a white one too! :)
-
Funny thing is, I"m just a window shopper now all the way. I'm not hoping to snag anything!

Sometimes these go for ~ $175 but if it goes much over $200 I'd walk away.
EDIT: Wow price already doubled... ::)
-
If you post it here. It will go crazily expensive
-
I see these on Ebay quite a bit, HHKB's and Realforce's that start out cheap and usually end at or near retail used prices. Also most say hardly used kept mostly in the box, typed a few words and not for me blah, blah. Like Corvette sellers that never drive in rain or snow and keep it covered in the garage.

The ones that worry me are the ones with bad pics because they usually have shiny keys :P

Funny thing is, if photos are clear and well-taken and it looks unused, I would believe it was unused.
The people who love Topres usually hang on to their Topres, or buy even more and wind up not using them.
People don't usually use their Topres a lot, then sell.
I wouldn't sell my favorite keyboards either. They have sentimental value!

Yeah... any hope of a great find is pretty much down the drain at this point.

That would be a violation of GH terms and conditions.

dude, mods don't follow their own rules. like anybody actually cares.

The reason you see these pop up all the time,, is because it's a MAJOR letdown for many people @ retail price... because fanbois on GH and reddit sucker people into them....
And you seldom hear negative press about Topre, even from those who were let down.. because they're worried that if they say anything bad about the topre,, they would have trouble selling it off on ebay..
It's a double whammy situation....
Topre is mediocre PERIOD.
-
Bid high bid early.
-
HA, not possible. Different country. That's why I usually window-shop. I can't take advantage of most sales because the price is not good enough to justify the shipping.
What if... the OP is the seller...

Yeah, last time I was in Cambridge, I didn't see berzerkfan there.

It's 200 already :-X
It seems a lot of people prefer to buy via ebay bidding instead of direct purchasing ^-^

Yeah but you can earn points with eBay, so the more you spend the more you save... Right?... Right?.... NVM

If the seller wouldn't supplied the EK link, I am sure the keyboard would have sold near new price.

What the hell happened? The last guy revoke his bid? Back down to $160's.
-
Back up to $200 now.
