Title: [SOLD] HHKB Pro 2 Type-S
Post by: allocerveau on Mon, 26 May 2014, 10:27:52
Hello there,

I'm selling my HHKB Pro 2 Type-S, white with lettering. It's not even a month old.

Price : 265 euros shipped ($360). I accept paypal, fees are on me, so no additionnal charges for you. I'll throw in a red Esc key from EK.

It will be shipped from France, so I prioritize european shipping at the moment.

Thank you.

You'd be hard pressed to sell the keyboard $10 more than retail. Especially when they are in stock at EK.

Sure, EK sells the keyboard for $356. But that doesn't include shipping price. On top of that, it doesn't include shipping internationally, which is not cheap. The seller has absorbed all of that cost, and is also absorbing the shipping to the next buyer, as well as PayPal fees. Not to mention, a free red Escape key, which is about $5 on it's own.

Exactly. Shipping to Europe is about $60. + 20% customs + handling fees ...

He is not shipping internationally. His OP says Europe only.

Also, buying the keyboard retail also gives a two year warranty which is worth the added shipping costs. Paypal fees are negligible considering a buyer buying from EK does not pay a PayPal fee.

I'm not trying to be rude, I was just trying to help. GLWS.

Shipping from EK to Europe is very expensive, his point is saving a European buyer money.

And any buyer buying from EK wanting the keyboard shipped to Europe would have to pay those international shipping fees to EK. This person has already done that. Also, the warranty being worth the price of shipping internationally is a personal preference.

No problem, but from a european buyer point of view I think this is a very fair price. And thanks.

Agreed. That's more than fair considering the fact that you're saving them the shipping costs.

It is. I would have to pay ~$530+ for a HHKB Pro 2 Type-S directly from EK.
