Likelihood of this selling?
« on: Mon, 12 March 2012, 16:48:26 »
OK I'm burning to buy myself a Filco with blues, specifically this one - http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_details.asp?PRODUCT=648

But I am worried that this won't sell - http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?28452-Filco-Majestouch-2-Cherry-mx-browns-Full-Size-UK-Layout&p=541288#post541288

I have the capital to buy a Filco with blues now, however I don't want to get it then end up with two boards. Also if I happen to hate the blues for some reason (Which I highly doubt - how easy will a fullsize blue board be to sell?)

NOTE: These are UK layout and I will sell within the UK only.

Is this just advertising in disguise? Seems like it, of-course it will sell it's a Filco, just give it time and if necessary drop the price a little after a given time.

I can remove the link it if you want. That is definitely not what I was trying to do.

No not at all, it just seemed a little strange asking if a Filco will sell, I'd be hard pressed to not buy it myself had I not just recently made a large keyboard purchase.

I think you are fine on both counts. Your TKL w/ browns should sell no problem, and I don't think it is all that hard to sell a full size board either. Some people really need that ten key.

it has been up for [STRIKE]ONE[/STRIKE] TWO days.. full size filcos don't sell as quickly as tenkeyless, but they eventually sell. like first guy said, give it time.
No, he’s not around. How that sound to ya? Jot it down.

I know how long it's been up, I was just wondering - I have no Idea how fast Filco's sell from within the UK. Let alone ones that are full size. I just want to feel a bit more secure if I purchase the Filco with blues before my Filco brown sells.

You'll be fine, I'm sure someone out there, somewhere, is willing to buy it.

Try offering a free hat with it.
