Title: really need help with this...
Post by: Chemoletter on Mon, 24 March 2014, 09:42:04
hi folks,

i know this isn't the place to ask but i'm desperately, really desperately looking for stabilizers ( brand doesn't matter, so cherry or costar for MX switches ). as i cannot post in the classifieds yet and have built my phantom keyboard, i need stabilizers now. ( as dumb as it gets, i ordered everything from the US and built happily until i noticed that i did't order stabs from wasdkeyboards ).
i know where to order stabs but i live in germany and don't want to pay yet another bunch of taxes. can you please help me out with a username or some place to buy stabs in germany... or at least in eurpoe?

thanks so much and sorry for posting this here.

oh sorry, now i got it wrong completely :)
i'm in germany, that's why europe would be nice for buying stabs. as the noob i am, i paid a ton of taxes for my stuff. it's crazy... dont' know if it is the same amount in other countries but germany, man... 60€ package, now add 20€ taxes.
i really think cherry should sell these directly. and since it is a german company it's even more of a shame they don't sell stabs at least in germany. probably not the best market as i don't know a single keyboard obsessed person here. do you think it's likely the people on classifieds would have some stabs to sell? although i have to post a lot to get there...

I do now know of anywhere in Germany, but at least KeyboardCo is in Europe.

There are a few other GH members in Germany - hopefully one of them has some ideas.
