Title: Realforces in Korea
Post by: LouisHjelmslev on Sun, 16 April 2017, 21:39:52

Does anyone know if it's any cheaper to a get a Realforce in S. Korea? My friend will be there in a few weeks, so of course, I'm thinking about how I could benefit from the situation  :p.

My son is in the AF and currently deployed in S Korea. You won't save any money on keyboards, or any electronics for that matter buying in S Korea.

Ppl have reported getting discounts at Leaderskey when paying in cash, just negotiate.

You can buy a Realforce 10th anniverary edition factory silenced (all 45g) with the hangul caracters. It's definitely going to be my next keyboard purchase  ;)

They won't be much cheaper, but the option that was linked is an Anniversary Edition RF, which usually are more expensive in the first place.
