Title: Rosewill deal
Post by: berserkfan on Fri, 23 January 2015, 06:36:42
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rosewill-Mechanical-Keyboard-RK-9000-with-Cherry-MX-Blue-Switches-/301500044234?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4632cd93ca

$0.99 now.

Shipping considered, I recommend not bidding above $25 since that will be over $40 shipped.

The purpose of my 'finding' is really to share potentially good deals with ghers. Rosewill keyboards can range from $27 shipped to $80 shipped depending on auction interest, so someone who wants a budget board and is patient can get his Rosewill at a nice price. (Please bid intelligently, and for those who are not seriously interested I'd appreciate if you stayed away rather than bid on an auction just to inflate prices for fun.)

Note: if it comes to my attention that bidding tends to get too aggressive for the non-collectible items that I post,  I will stop posting deals. My goal is to help people when I do window shopping, not to cause price inflation.

I'm surprised that you even had to state this, i just figured everyone here understood that.
Also thanks, i'll keep an eye on this since it could be a good deal even for me in Japan.

I've seen too many times when I post something with a nice BIN price, and a nonserious bidder steps in to bid $1 just for fun. Sometimes I follow the auction out of curiosity, and notice that the $1 bidder doesn't bid again. He wasn't hoping to snipe the auction at a lower price. He merely wanted to spoil a good deal for other people.

That's the price you pay for being a true friend T-T
