Title: Topre price discrepancy between Leopold.KR and EliteKeyboards
Post by: blackswan on Wed, 27 August 2014, 14:39:22

In market for a new FC660C.
But as EliteKeyboards currently does not have any in stock, I was looking around elsewhere for the keyboard and came across Leopold.KR.
I noticed that Leopold.KR sells the Leopold FC660C for 219,000 Won and the Realforce 87U for 360,000 Won. Whereas EliteKeyboards sells the same Leopold KB for $220 and the Realforce 87u KB models between $199 to $235.
If the cost in Korea for the Leopold KB is 1/3 less than the Realforce models, why isn't this price difference also reflected on Elitekeyboards? Or conversely, why doesn't Leopold sell the Realforce models more at the price levels of Elitekeyboards to reflect the currency exchange rate at ~1,000 Won to $1 USD?
