Where to find a HHKB in HK or Japan ?

[Anynoupy]

Hi everyone

I'd really like to get a HHKB, and a friend of mine goes to Hong-Kong (and Japan) this summer, so I think that person could help me get it !

My question is, does anyone know where to get it in HK, or in Kobe please ?

Thanks in advance to whoever will answer

You won't have much luck in HK. I don't know of anywhere in any of the major computer malls that stock the HHKB, even the smaller more specialized ones I go too don't have any. If your friend is living or staying with family in HK you can take advantage of the fact that you can buy from Taobao from HK. Otherwise, if there is a store selling HHKBs in Hong Kong its one of the smaller ones that may not even have a proper storefront.

In Kobe on the otherhand, there's SofMap http://www.sofmap.com/tenpo/topics/exec/_/id=shop/-/sid=koube
SofMap does sell HHKBs, no idea if the Kobe store in particular has any though.

Thanks for your answer

Yes, my friend is living in HK, and staying for almost a month and a half, so going through Taobao may be a good idea (Although I didn't see any HHKB on Taobao as of now ?! Maybe I'm not using any good keyword ^^')
Will see if my friend can ask her friends in Kobe to check on the phone or so for SofMap, thanks !

why don't you buy from smartimports.net

[Anynoupy]

Good question. To avoid any risk of customs taxes, and shipping costs too, as I'm not in a hurry to get it

Searching HHKB on taobao brings up quite a few results.

Amazon.co.jp will offer the best price in Japan if your friend have a postal address.

hasu -> Indeed my friend will be in her friend's house, so she will have an address, might be a solution

sv_sti -> Okay but what's your shop please, and what would be the price ?

Akihabara district in Tokyo has a lot of stuff. Most of the stores also offer %5 Duty-Free discount for people living outside Japan

[Anynoupy]

Yes, heard a lot about Akihabara, sadly my friend won't be able to go to Tokyo =/

Wait... I remember walking past your store, why did I not remember seeing any HHKB >_<

Next time I'm back in HK I'll come check your store out.

Anyoupy: His store is Keyboard Hell, Address is 香港九龍福華街161-175號福仁商場1/F 36號舖.
Which is the Wonder Building that is right across the street from the famous Golden Computer Arcade in Sham Sui Po

Was told that he had it for HK$2700, don't know how much it is as of now in RMB ^^

nar -> Okay, thanks, even though the price is a bit dissuasive IMO. Will see if my friend can get it in Kobe, and if not, will consider it
