Topre Realforce 87U mixed 45/55g - unused
« on: Sun, 14 July 2013, 01:55:41 »




Hey there,

This brand new 87u was my donor board for this mod: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45762.0 - I was very careful with it throughout the mod. This has not been used - I've quickly tested each key to ensure it's functioning correctly post-mod, but otherwise it's unused. All working great :)





Please note that I am not including the Lavender WASD and red Esc that come with this normally. The keycap puller and swappable Capslock/Ctrl buttons ARE included.

There's 21x left over 55g domes in this board - I placed all domes where I wouldn't need to cut any dome sections.
55g domes are highlighted GREEN

Here's the current layout



You could quite easily change this layout to something like this:



$170 + Shipping (see below)

This is shipping from New Zealand. It will ship via International Airmail (3-10 days). Here are the rates:
Australia: $15
Singapore/Korea: $26
USA / UK: $30

Any questions please ask :)
Cheers

I presume that price is in US dollars?

Price dropped,

No one keen on this thing? Even with $30 USD shipping, this is like $50 below retail for essentially a brand new 87u :eek:

But does the fact that it's modded void the warranty?

Yep I'd assume so.. when's the last time a 87u needed a warranty claim though? ;D

Who knows. Maybe being opened makes it more likely. I think just in general people are feeling very minimax, so to speak, about high cost purchases so the lack of a warranty on such a spendy (though good) board might put people off. Just my two cents.

Price dropped to $170.

Final price drop, already making an outrageous loss - will try sell domestically in NZ or just keep it. those Dyesubs would look awfully nice on my 660c ;D

cheers

Well, you pay $12 to ship to the USA from EK anyway.. what's an extra $18? ;D Still saving $60 on retail

I don't think I'll have enough money until two weeks from now, but just out of curiosity, how much would shipping to Brazil cost?

To Brazil will be $30 USD too, seems to be the same for pretty much all of America.
