I'm confused to see why these would go for more than they are brand new at EK. Am I missing something?

It's a number game. If I can get it for $300, I would save $100 off asking price.

Saw this one.  but it is too expensive, and there are scratches.  Also, I think would rather have the variable weight.

You seriously make it sound so easy. Do you know without going through a buying agent etc, that if you want to buy something on your own from some Japanese sites, you have to register first and that one registration form can consist of both types of kana as well as kanji and some parts MUST be written in Japanese. Do you even know how many types of Yahoos they have and each with their own forms? And no, google translator ain't gonna save you. Those forms can be cruel. Or which banks they even accept? Visa and Master from japan, China, US, Singapore, Mars, are NOT the same and accepted equally. I'm Asian and I myself do not understand why they make things so hard. If it were that easy, well, there wouldn't even be a need for expensive buying agents like the one in your link, would there?  

I really hate it when people make assumptions without trying for themselves.

it's like saying a space saver really saves space. Yeah it does. Compared to what? This is as silly as your RF suggestion that an 87 is not worth it and to get a 86 along with a RF keypad.... do you know that could cost more?

Blablabla, it is really that easy. All you have to do is send an email to support@leopold.co.jp asking how to purchase the 87UB 55g.
Then you will get a reply with a PayPal payment request.

awry, why the hate?  I tried, it really wasn't that hard, except it is out of stock.  That reminds me, need to add a note to the wiki about notifying the credit card company about an upcoming charge from a foreign country.

http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?18182-Buying-a-RealForce-Topre-Keyboard-from-Japan&p=347894&viewfull=1#post347894

Since I tried, can I make assumptions? ;)

Yeah, they are out of stock of all types of 87U.  Will be back in stock around end of June.  On Rakuten, only the low noise are available.  I will have to wait.  Kind of like taking a cold shower :)

I say that whenever I see false base assumptions in a person's argument. Comes from teaching rhetoric in college. Waste of time arguing when someone won't even error check their basic stance.

Example: When did you stop beating your wife? Check your base assumptions: am I married to a woman? Did I ever beat her? Did  I stop beating her? Useless to argue if none of these are true.

Nope. Check your base assumptions, you debate incompetently. They were dye sub, not PBT.

I have re-checked my base assumptions, and I have been correct about everything.

Cherry dye subbed keycaps are made of PBT.
PBT plastic has a few advantages, like it is not going to yellow over time, and it is chemically resistant, however it has its downsides as well: it is has a slippery Teflon-like feel and easily cracks.

You had a keyboard with those keys what you probably bought for a reasonable prize, then after realizing some of those go for insane amount of money on Ebay, you decided to make a huge profit on it as well.
The fact that you considered those keys overrated, and inferior to Cherry doubleshots didn't stop you to become a profiteer.

I simply found that funny, so pointed this out in your classified thread.
I also noticed, and warned you about your act of advertising your offer outside the classified section, what is against the forum rules.

So you have pissed-off, and decided to troll me, and defend a fellow profiteer, but unfortunately you just f*cked with the wrong guy.
