[FS] HHKB Black on Black Set
« on: Thu, 19 July 2012, 19:24:33 »
I have a HHKB black on black set. They have been used sparingly, but do have marks from being removed (the keycap remover left marks on the bottom parts of the keycaps; it's not very noticeable.

If there's interest, I'll post pictures.

Comes in three ziplock bags, shipped to your house (as long as it's in the US) for $49. Thanks!

Not a Bad price. Should sell quickly.

Willing to ship internationally? If so how much to Australia? Pics would be nice too.

Sorry, I've been very busy (I promise I'll ship within 12 hours though!). Here are pictures:









Sorry the photos aren't great. Basically, the tops are in great shape (I've only used them for a couple hours, previous owner didn't use them much either). When I was pulling them out with the standard keypuller, however, I made a few marks on the fronts and backs of the keys.

Did I just kill their resale value? If anybody wants to give me a valuation, feel free to post in this thread (no need to PM me. :)).

Thanks!

You might have damaged the keys too much so that resale value of the caps have become pretty low. Those are pretty deep scratches. Are the pictured caps the only caps with that type of scratch? Do the rest of the keys have the same scratch?

If you are unsure about the prices, you can try to drop them $5 every few days until you get a buyer. (or $1 each day, this way you might get more exposure to potential buyers since the post will get bumped each day.)

I observe that white HHKB caps are more popular than black ones and I think the current price is a bit high to ME. I would be interested if the prices go down to $30, but that valuation is solely mine and it reflects my specific needs and my wealth(budget for keyboard stuff). I am pretty sure there are other buyers who would want to pay more than what I value the caps.

If the pictured caps are the only the ones with the scratch, I think the current prices may be still attractive to others.

Definitely will ship internationally. I'll charge whatever FedEx charges me.

Thank you very much for the advice, Limmy. I'll go home and take a look at the caps again, then post back with more detail about the condition. Of course, I'll adjust price based on condition. Thanks!

If you can get me an Estimated price for shipping to Australia, I may very well be keen on these, if price is right. If you need post code PM me and I'll give you what info you need.

USPS quotes me $16 for Australia.

I'll go home, open up all the keys, then use a D90 to take pictures of all of them. I'll adjust the price based on the condition (so the maximum, but highly unlikely price, is $66 shipped).

If Small Flat rate box is used, it would cost $17 to ship to pretty much any where around the world from the US. Plus you are given a tracking number.

There are other cheaper options, but it is rather slow and no tracking number is given.

Shipping internationally via Fedex and UPS are very very expensive if I recall correctly.

Did not receive.

I just took some photos with a D90. Don't have a computer now (I've had three HD failures in the past week, typing this on an iPad now), but will upload once I get onc up and running. Thanks!

That's odd, well I'm rather interested. Looking forward to seeing the other pictures. Have you decided a price?

Sorry, my computer's been broken, so I haven't been able to upload pictures from the SD.

Give me until Tuesday; I'll have pictures up by then. Thanks!

This looks like the work of those horrible metal key pullers that get shipped with some of the topre boards. I hate that thing. You should either get or make a cheap wire keycap puller.

That's exactly it. I figured that the key puller that came with the keys would do a good job...
