He is selling it, not sure where else to post it, I know it isn't a good find, but if someone wants a red vader, here you go:

He does this everyone once in a while just to troll people, looks like he succeeded.

But at the current price of clacks going on ebay, and the rarity of Vaders, wouldn't this be reasonable to someone, unless he is just messaging them back saying he won't sell it.

Pretty sure he has no intention of selling.  It's his ongoing troll. 

As to the price, eBay prices are absurd, so is this one.

He's dropped the price to $850 :))
"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

Didn't the buyer back out? Also ebay is a hellhole for cap prices.

I thought the buyer backed out when it closed at $700 but later we see it relisted and closed at $600.

I think this is totally uncool.

That is not a nice guy, that is not a nice price, so why post it here under great finds? Why do people lose all sense of rationality once artisan caps are involved?
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

This movie was great.. One of those movies that I watched expecting typical B, possible C grade stuff and was pleasantly surprised.

Which is why I said I didn't know where else to post a link to buy something like this, even though it isn't a good find.
