'Best ever' deal on a Cooler Master QFR TKL Brown Switches
« on: Sun, 18 January 2015, 22:03:27 »
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cooler-Master-CM-Storm-QuickFire-Rapid-Cherry-Brown-Switches-Mechanical-Keyboard-/291358140574?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43d64c689e

This one REALLY takes the cake.

You won't believe the price.

$999.00 (or best offer)

And the normal reasons for a price like this don't apply.

EG keyboard is used, so this is clearly not one of those listings where the seller jacks up the price temporarily to discourage buyers until he gets new stock.

It can't be a missed decimal point, because $99.00 for a used QFR is still outrageously expensive.

And of course being used and still in production, it can't be a rare collector's item.

I think seller is suffering from some mental problems best cured by a reasonable offer such as $50 shipped.

BiN price is currently $500.

And this is a USED keyboard, not even NiB!

Edit: To give the seller the benefit of the doubt, he's got a bunch of things at $400 BiN, he might have listed one, then copy/pasted all the others and forgot to change the price.

"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

I would hate to think some grandma gets scammed somewhere because she doesn't know anything about ebay but has a grandkid that really wants some keyboard.
