Title: [SOLD] Topre Realforce 87u, used for 1 hour, $155

 Realforce 87U Tenkeyless (White/Gray) Great Condition (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Realforce-87U-Tenkeyless-White-Gray-Great-Condition/163407495079)


(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ri4AAOSwKOZb86UZ/s-l1600.jpg)


Seller (100% eBay rating) says, "Great condition, has only seen an hour of use, comes with original box and manual."

BIN $155 + shipping (sorry, US only). As these are ~$230–240 new, this very slightly used one seemed post-worthy.

Yes but what was it used for is the question?  :)) Good price though.

I'm always skeptical of "used it for just 1 hr" stuff, b/c I've been burned before.  But his profile doesn't look suspicious.  I'm guessing he just heard topre hype and didn't like the switches.  Never can tell with Realforce boards though, because you can take them apart without any evidence.  If the new boards with adjustable actuation distance weren't on the market I would be more tempted.  Thanks for sharing.  Indeed a good deal.

Well, if it was used for sex, they would've had to mention it... eBay policy.

With a 100% eBay rating and dozens of sales, it was unlikely they were trying to pull anything over on anybody.

You're probably right about the switches, too. Topres tend to be polarizing. They're impressively made, but they are RD's, and don't have the crisp kind of "snap" most MKs do. And unless you're in a major town, they can be hard to find to try out.
