GLWS however FYI the new classified rules clearly said you must provide sale price else the post will be removed

fuus · « **Reply #3 on:** Wed, 12 February 2014, 15:38:24 »

add prices yo

fuus · « **Reply #10 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 01:04:40 »

The rules are yet to come in to effect, and when I put them up for price check twice no one responded...

Fragil1ty · « **Reply #11 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 07:41:27 »

I'm located in the UK mate and that SSK looks really eniticing.

What price point would you be looking at?

Regards.

fuus · « **Reply #12 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 07:50:20 »

As I said to PMers, I have no idea what it's worth as no one replied to the price checks...
One guy PMed me and told me the blue numpad was particularly rare so who knows...

neunelfer · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 07:53:16 »

I would say it's worth about $150.

fuus · « **Reply #14 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 07:59:21 »

I will say I was offered a trade for a KMAC Happy for the SSK, which I turned down as I don't like 60%!

esoomenona · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 08:07:13 »

If you know that the rules for price are to be coming, and you have people requesting damn prices, why do you skirt around it? Just put some prices up.

fuus · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 08:09:57 »

Ok, starting prices are £220 for the SSK and £200 for the E-Dox, without postage which will be tracked and insured no matter what

Edit: it's my 18th birthday today, let's see a sale!

Thanks, Fuus

So is this the SSK your selling the one discussed in the above linked thread?

esoomenona · « **Reply #18 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 08:21:30 »

Prices too high.

fuus · « **Reply #19 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 08:25:09 »

Linked thread is indeed the same SSK, it has charecter!

I think that constitutes thread crap esoomenona...

esoomenona · « **Reply #20 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 08:29:53 »

I don't think it does, fuus. You're overcharging my community, and I feel compelled to let them know.

fuus · « **Reply #21 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 08:34:24 »

Care to suggest reasonable prices in GBP?

esoomenona · « **Reply #22 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 08:38:13 »

For the SSK, somewhere in the range of 150 GBP on the high end, and no end on the lower side. I won't give you a direct price (that's up to you, possibly with some help from a purchaser), but 220 GBP is too high, and 150 GBP might be as well.

For the ErgoDox, maybe somewhere in the range of 90-150 GBP. Depends on various aspects of it: fullhand or not, aluminum or not, etc.

fuus · « **Reply #23 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 08:41:15 »

Have you taken into consideration that import tax has been payed @20% + a bit?

I appreciate your help!

esoomenona · « **Reply #24 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 08:48:00 »

I haven't, but why should someone pay more than the market value of something because there was extra costs on your end?

fuus · « **Reply #25 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 08:49:47 »

Because everyone in the EU will have to pay them....
Obviously US buyers won't be interested, but the sale isn't aimed at them

happy birthday!

fuus · « **Reply #27 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 10:44:54 »

Thank you lcs

fuus · « **Reply #28 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 11:51:13 »

Bearing in mind esoomenona's recommendations I've lowered the prices to his highest + 20% without postage. Obviously PM me if you're interested and we can sort something out:

SSK - £180+postage
E-dox - £180+postage

Further information on the ErgoDox - It's a full hand, full acrylic case, with MX Reds

Thanks, Fuus

Fragil1ty · « **Reply #29 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 15:42:36 »

Too much for me, I'd rather just get a Topre.

GLWS.

Happy Birthday, ^_^.

P.s. A little tip, because of the high price of what you're offering and what not, you might want to include shipping as part of the deal because I saw a SSK go for like $150-175 and that's like what? 120-130GBP? so yeah.

It does seem like you're trying to sell it for more than you bought it for though, xD.

fuus · « **Reply #30 on:** Thu, 13 February 2014, 15:54:46 »

I couldn't personally get on with Topper, but each to their own eh?

Thanks bro!

I'm guessing that SSK was a) the other side of the Atlantic and b) had no had import tax payed on it. say you had bought it, it would've cost $~80 in shipping taking it to $255 which is £150 GBP, plus 20% import tax and £8 royal mail fee takes it to £188....
This SSK is already in the UK and available for quick dispatch! Of course there're some assumptions here, but it isn't a million miles out. Same kinda story with the E-dox

Thanks, Fuus

Thanatermesis · « **Reply #39 on:** Sat, 22 February 2014, 07:37:11 »

I'm searching for an ERGODOX perfectly-working, with no wrist part and not even the case if possible, "clicky"-type keys, I'm located in Spain, anybody has one to sell, which price ?

Actually I'm searching for a wrist-pain solution, I think that the ergodox can do the work by being able to position my hands in multiple positions comfortably

Thank you

fuus · « **Reply #40 on:** Sat, 22 February 2014, 08:28:58 »

Hey Thanatermesis,

Unfortunatly at this time I'm not willing to split the PCBs/Switches from the Case and I wish to sell it as a single item. It is however perfectly working! The MX Reds this keyboard has are not 'clicky'. The most 'clicky' switches are MX Blues!

Thanks, Fuus

I suggest you put it on ebay right away. You are way over your head with the price for a scratched board with missing caps. Even if it was in mint condition the board would not go for the $250 you are asking...
