At least some are buy it now, to avoid silly bidding.

If that is a plus, that is.
"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 doubt they'd even reach $500 in an auction. He's hoping for someone to impulse buy.

The octopink and blue skull are both from an auction that recently just finished. Those were separately purchased at 154.50 and 192.50, which is $347.

Flipping for profit is fun.

Report that ****.  It's against the Classifieds rules, not that most of the mods would do **** about it...

Importing things costs 20% VAT plus a handling fee for anything over £15, so with recent poor exchange rates for a $500 package you'd have to hand over about £80 to the postman :eek:
