Has Ekitekeyboards stopped shipping to the rest of the World ? The last listing of one of these KBDS was considered to be fishy, this 87U seems to be authentic, please confirm.

images (including the banners that read "eBay") are hosted on the actual elitekeyboards website. So it should be real. Auction as is is a shame, I just ordered the same realforce like 3 days ago at full price. Maybe could have saved some here. Oh well.

Just read the details at the bottom of the listing. The "Other item info" of "Post to: United States" was a little misleading.

Seems Elitekeyboards are using eBay to promote more business, there's also a FILCO Tenkeyless with Cherry MX Brown listing.

Unfortunately, I have to refrain from bidding and stick to my original decision to purchase only 2 more keyboards, when you get up in the morning and trip over a keyboard, it becomes just too much.

no kidding, but all that has done is improve my jumping skills =)
(sadly not a joke or even a slight exaggeration)

I noticed that particular (realforce) Elitekeyboards listing yesterday and I thought it was legit and a great idea for a used keyboard. He also mentioned in a recent post that he might do that.

Haha if we can persuade them to introduce keyboard hurdling as an Olympic event, we could form a world-beating relay team.

Sounds good to me!

I figure with all the dancing around I do to avoid falling on my keyboards my toes will soon be dexterous enough to type with! I am already tempted =P

My new rule: buy a new keyboard, get rid of 2 keyboards.

Hey now, I was talking about collectibles and said CAN be that small of a percentage of mint original, not that they ALWAYS were.  We were talking about a 30 year old AT Model F and the difference in value of used good condition vs. Mint sealed is a pretty big difference.  This is a little different, but I do see your perspective.

Whoever got that 55g got a smoking deal.

Glad to see Magestouch selling on ebay... still waiting for a White 87u. :)

After the hoops I had to jump through to get the thing I'd be more inclined to auction off my left stone before I sell the Realforce.

That's still the case.

I used http://www.buyfromkorea.kr/ which ended up being expensive - he accepts paypal.

If anyone plans to buy from there in future, the webmaster from leopold recommends using gmarket:

"If you are difficult to make payment, I recommend you to buy Gmarket which is subsidiary company of Ebay in Korea.
Web is as below;
==================
http://www.gmarket.co.kr/index_eng.asp"

I had already committed myself to buyfromkorea by the time I got his reply though.

Hmmm that's tempting, I have missed having a topre to use in rotation since I sold the three I had.  (103u white/87u black variable/87u black 55g)

It's really too bad more foreign sites don't accept paypal.  If they did they would make a lot more money.
