"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Yeah that first picture is trash.

Also the seller also has some HKP caps up for $40 shipped, not really sure what those are worth.

Which would make it even more valuable, right?

those pics are pretty suboptimal for verifying the color.  it could also be some badly sunlight faded octopink, but the underside appears to be the same color as well?

Thanks, I still can't spend that much on one cap, my record is $65 and I think it'll be a while before I top that.
