I'm hoping I can find a good deal on one of these. Cost much too much new at retail.

May be too good to be true. But it looks like you could score a good deal.

That's when it reaches $250 :))
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I hope not. Anything over ~$200 and I'd rather pay the premium for a new one from elitekeyboards.

I have GoT to watch anyway. It'll be fun to see how much this goes for, though.

I have a question, does it worth that money for a used one?
ex. I am in CA 180*1.085+ 10(shipping) = $205
still a good deal?

well considering that brand new one is like $260+shipping, yes it's a good deal
and also, it looked to be in pretty good condition

Today I learned:  Ebay on mobile sucks, haha.
I had 185 typed in at 15 seconds left, the price updated, and my bidding price dropped back to 175 and I lost typing it back in =/

Congrats on whoever got it!

Yes, they used to go for $180 in the classifieds all the time, and I consider that to be a nice price on a used HHKB.

Ahh, I should be more patient!  I've only seen them 200-220.

What I've heard is the rubber gets hard after a while so buying used topre isn't that good of an idea

for how many years it will get hard you think?
My friend was asking me should he buy a used RF 101, it cost around $120, but I think that keyboard at least 7 years old :eek:

I think after 4-5 years of constant use, some people have said they can feel (and measure) a difference.

$120 is a good deal if you can try it beforehand. If you like the feel, then it's worth the price, especially with topre keycaps being so expensive.

Yes, eBay mobile sucks. Who knows, the bid could have gone 185+ if the same buyer was persistent.

Since I am very new to the keyboard world. I have a question again! :p
Why people are so obsessive about HHKB pro 2? even a used one costs around $200~220. Which almost the same money with a new RF 87U? :eek:
What make HHKB so special?
