I'm looking to sell the following keyboards, preferably to fellow Canadians (payment with PayPal / shipping with Canada Post) or to our nice USA neighbours:

1x REALFORCE 103UB: 190,00$ (CAD) including shipping (except for US buyers). <-- Tentatively sold to nar
1x REALFORCE 103U-UW: 190,00$ (CAD) including shipping (except for US buyers). <-- Tentatively sold to nKCrooK
1x REALFORCE 86UB: 220,00$ (CAD) including shipping. <-- Sold to foaml3ss

Edit: All three keyboards include the lavender WASD and red ESC key.
Edit: Lowered the price (again) on the 103UB and the 103U-UW.

They are all in excellent condition, with everything that was included in the original package. The 86UB got about 2/3 months usage, and the 103U-UW /103UB about 2 weeks each. They are all in perfect conditions with no shiny keys or any defects that I can see.

Good prices, GLWS!

Interesting that you use commas instead of periods to designate the decimal point... I thought that was a European thing. I lived in BC for 5 years and I never saw that once. Is that characteristic of Quebec?

Sorta want the 86UB, too bad they didn't make it in uniform weight.

^ As a fellow topre user and have used a HHKB which is a uniform 45g and a Realforce 87u variable I can say that the variable is actually pretty nice i love the feel of the modifiers being lighter

Indeed it is. That and poutine... :smile:

HoboBob · « **Reply #6 on:** Sat, 15 October 2011, 10:43:33 »

F'yeah! Poutine is worthy enough to go in my title. (Let's not forget a nice beer like Maudite or Fin du Monde)

GLWS from a fellow Quebecer.

If that was true you would have been too slow, I would have bought it already ;E

I saw it but I waited quietly for you to come in so I can put my aluminum post. It's all part of my evil master plan, wahaha...

Yeah my girlfriend is Canadian, I'm well aware of the wonders of Poutine haha.

Aluminum would be great, oh well lol. I briefly got to partake in the wonderment of Topre and my only annoyance was my own tendency to put too much weight on my pinky keys causing several accidental depressions while hovering over keys. I'm sure I'd eventually get used to it, and the price difference for 86UBs may well inspire me to deal with it, but atm since I have no money anyways I'm sorta biding my time.

Poutine is especially "useful" after a night of heavy drinking!

The Realforce 55g or 45g could be a nice option if you find the variable ones to lite.

I like to have poutine BEFORE going out. The fat is protecting my stomach. Its easy to get it out too if things get out of control.

This thread needs more poutine pictures:

Is the 103UB 55g weighted or variable (sorry if posted didn't see). Was going to just buy a new one tomorrow but might as well just buy this one if it is what I am looking for.

Also, is the 103UW 55g weighted or variable.

oneproduct · « **Reply #26 on:** Fri, 28 October 2011, 00:43:41 »

Curious as to the answer to nksharp's question as well. Also another Montrealer so wanted to say hi. Are you from Montreal? I would be interested in trying out a Topre first hand to help make a decision about whether or not I like them.

For those people who said they were from Montreal, anyone at Concordia university by chance?

nksharp · « **Reply #27 on:** Fri, 28 October 2011, 00:51:59 »

Barrie, Ontario here. I call dibs though

Friend emailed him about purchasing both keyboards since he wanted a white and I wanted a black so probably works out. To bad I can't find red keycaps without having to buy a whole set from EK

I've just sold (yesterday in fact) the keyboard to another member here (nar). It's the variable version of the keyboard (same goes for the 103U-UW).

I'm from Quebec City, and it looks like there are not many keyboard maniacs around here!
