It's a complete joke, a shop has stock of something and they sell it, they don't put a coming soon banner on stock and leave it for a few days. a few hours to generate a bit of hype, maybe. The guy (edit: Brian or whatever his name is, not talking about cc) is taking the piss.
People moan about the expensive resale value of these things, well at least that's a reasonable transaction. I would rather let someone else waste 2 days and give them a hundred bucks for their trouble than give these clowns at elite keyboards 30 bucks. There's a ton of other stuff I want, a hhkb for example, but I'll be taking me business elsewhere. And hopefully manage to pick up the odd clack when CC sells them here, he respects his customers and does the right thing.
