Depending on the condition, that sounds like a good deal. New ones retail for $80-$100 +shipping.

I probably wouldn't buy it on a whim, but if you are wanting one, and it has no issues, it is a good price.

No, but that seems like a better deal...

It does if you are ok with a even larger keyboard and are ok with the layout.  Certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea.

But can be converted to ANSI with a little work.
"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
