Is it suspicious that most of the text on that ad is plagiarized from comptekw2k's ad?

The legit original ad.

Lack of pictures & relatively low qty of feedback somewhat worrying as well.

This seems legit.  There is a picture of the actual board in the listing...

But I am sure this one will end up over 100$ and it could be heavily used.

I saw that, pics weren't there originally but are now.  As you said, the price is bound to get up there.

$203.50 as of now.  Why the crazy price?  Wonder if some people mistook this for a NIB.  Or is there something special about this board I don't know?

As for shipping, try calculating it for any number of countries (ie. Ukraine) and it comes to $350.35 just for the shipping!

Used SSKs haven't gone for more than about $125 since I've been watching the auctions for the last few months. And they are up for sale regularly enough.

The $203 bid means that two people have bid that level or above. It's not enough for one person to mistake it for NIB.

Maybe it's the liberal shipping policy -- maybe it's difficult to find an ANSI layout SSK in Europe?

Private Listing?


The dollar amounts on the bid history look suspicious too.
Several jumps of exactly $50, wtf
