Leopold TKL with blues - within Canada

Looking to sell this to another Canadian. The reason is that to get one of these shipped to Canada it costs about $60 over the base cost of the keyboard: $30 for shipping and $30 for import fees. This makes the price about $170 (gerk can confirm this) instead of the about $125 that people from the US pay so it's really hard for me to offer them a good deal without taking a huge hit.

With that in mind, I'm looking to sell it for about $120, shipping included, to another Canadian which is about 30% off the price we pay. It's been used for about 4 months: 3 with the original keycaps then another with a different set not pictured here. There is noticeable shine on the spacebar and some lesser shine on some other keys near WASD (the gaming keys). Shine is pretty inevitable so I don't see this as a big down point and if you're looking to get custom keycaps in the future it's pretty much a non-issue.

Comes with the plastic keyboard cover, the USB to PS/2 adapter, the detachable USB cable and the cable tie, all in the original box.

I don't have any official feedback here yet, but I've got a Filco Majestouch 2 in the mail from leotnnz and a set of PBT keycaps in the mail from iMav in terms of Geekhack purchases.

I can see you having trouble selling this, considering that most Canadians can buy them from Americans for a little less. Seems like you Canadian folk really get shafted by EK. Best of luck with the sale.

Ah yes, perhaps you're right. I don't do all that much browsing around the classifieds here but I do recall seeing them for more like $95 CONUS but then with shipping to Canada it would be another $25ish. Guess I'll start it at at least that.

That's why I had been trying to trade this before instead but I ended up having to buy what I wanted from someone else here, so now I've got to try to sell this.

$120 is a solid price. Completely comparable to one from the US. I sold one to Gerk for that just the other day. You shouldn't have too much trouble, provided there's an interested Canadian. Good luck!

Ya but you sold me an Otaku with browns.

GLWS oneproduct, and you're right it's a good price for us canucks at what you're asking and much cheaper than landing one in from the US yourself.  I've already got a Leopold TKL w/ blues (and in fact I may be the next one looking to get rid of it to a fellow canuck here).  

Maybe we need to setup ourselves a canadian trade group ;)

Yea, I think it might actually be a pretty good idea if we could get something set up. All the trades are always CONUS and it would be nice to fight back with some CA!

Was also looking to maybe trade or sell my Kinesis with reds to a Canadian in the future because I think I would prefer browns. I see you have one, might send you a PM sometime if you're interested.
