Topre Realforce 103U-UW (White/Gray)
« on: Sun, 17 April 2011, 19:23:32 »
I'm selling a gently used white/gray Realforce 103U that I got in November of 2010. It has about 4 weeks of actual use on it. This is the "UW" package, so it includes a Realforce badge, key stoppers, and a keypuller.

As you can see from the pictures below, everything is immaculate. I took the keys off for a full cleaning, and I haven't used the board since I reassembled it. It's now back in the original Topre box and ready to be packaged up for shipping.

http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/130863/2/For%20Sale/Topre%20Realforce%20103U?h=7beee4

The price is $174---a 29% discount on EK's price. Buyer pays actual shipping costs. You can use 85701 to price out shipping to your location, and the weight will be 5-6 lbs. Payment via Amazon Payments is preferred, but I'll also accept PayPal if buyer pays fees.

Sample pictures from the Dropbox gallery:

My badge and stoppers are still in the bag, so I'm going to blatantly steal and post a picture from EK:

Would you be interested in a trade + cash on my end?  I've got a Filco Tenkeyless with MX blacks up for sale.

Sorry, but not particularly interested in trades unless there's something really interesting on the other end.

A bump and a note:

It appears that the 103U-UW is no longer available at EK, so the cheapest 103U you can get your hands on is $245 from EK. Given that, I think $200 is a good price for a keyboard that's still in like-new condition (especially in CA, where taxes alone will bring the EK price up to $270 before shipping).

This keyboard looks so great.  I really think that the white topres > the black ones.  They just look so classy. GLWS.

Yep the keyboard is great :)  I bought mines at EK when they were on sale with keypuller.  Wonder if they will stock the silent RealForces.

What is a silent RealForce?  Is this a new keyboard with the topre switches that is more quiet than the current Realforces available on Elitekeyboards?  If so, where are they available now?
