I read that as North Korean, not new Korean.  Oops.

Not when seller has 98% feedback on 1528 items? Besides that's starting bid.

I know, but something's wrong. What if it sold for opening bid? The seller would pay $44 just to ship it to the US...

I'm suspecting a mistake since seller has other keyboards listed at much higher prices.

Or else he's testing a new business strategy. There are many Koreans in the US and they are mostly crazy about mechanical keyboards.

I took a chance and bid anyway...  It ended at $57.00  Got this from the seller:

Oh well... Too good to be true as you guys said.  I guess shipping would have been most of the purchase price.

I have very little doubt that they listed it wrongly and decided to back out with some dumb excuse after they realized their mistake.

Pray, how do they 'last' (lost) the keyboard and still find defective parts?
Do they really open every box to look for defective parts?
 :p
