I ain't bidding. I don't want an F122 (too big, I'd never use it). And apparently you don't either, with these tactics!

XMIT · 26 Jul 2015, 17:05

I already have an F122.

These days - since I have enough stuff - I announce eBay auctions here and just use a sniping service with a fixed price. If someone else wants it fine. If not I'd rather keep it in the community.

That is, unless it's something I really want. In that case, may the odds be ever in your favor.

The only times I hoard multiple boards of the same model are when they're a classic that I love to use (the SSK) or when I'm looking for parts or a backup when planning a nasty mod!

XMIT · 26 Jul 2015, 17:25

Well, sometimes I keep a small inventory to proxy to you nice folks overseas as part of Keypocalypse orders. That's how andrewjoy got his F122, and how GuilleAcoustic got his M0110.

Muirium · 26 Jul 2015, 17:30

Pre-emptive multi-boarding, eh? That's a risky strategy. Well, if it does you good. Otherwise you'll need another garage… nowhere to put the car any more.

Dmn i want f122 also but shipping from US is killer :/

Myself i could go for a 3rd but i have just had to buy a new bed as mine broke

so no 122 money

Muirium · 26 Jul 2015, 18:18

Broken bed, eh? The jokes just write themselves!

andrewjoy · 26 Jul 2015, 18:45

its not what you think

some of the screws came loose and i sat on it and that sheared them off

seebart · 26 Jul 2015, 18:45

Obviously Andrew busted his bed by staking too many heavy keyboards on top.

Chyros · 26 Jul 2015, 18:54

Feck, there goes the opportunity on that one... XD

i know this isn't keyboard related but it's to good to pass up. Me and my friends have over 10 monitors like this one and they all rock.

"Does not ship to Germany"

How does that work?

Send him a message, he should accommodate you from what i know (he's the biggest seller of korean monitors on ebay). You can also look if others have the same promotion.

edit : no europe at all, lol

wlhlm · 27 Jul 2015, 19:49

Here's the matte version from a seller that ships worldwide:

Probably because of taxes...

Did you get your monitors from the same seller?

Muirium · 27 Jul 2015, 20:17

Love that definition of worldwide. Yeah, everywhere on the planet, except for the following 90% of it…

gogusrl · 27 Jul 2015, 20:21

I got mine from dream-seller and accesorieswhole.

Halvar · 27 Jul 2015, 20:22

We're excluded doubly: seller doesn't ship to "Europe" and doesn't ship to "US Protectorates".

Muirium · 27 Jul 2015, 20:27

That rules out South Korea too!

I was just about to press BIN, but then I realised I had no money..

Such a beautiful board. Nicer than a 3278 I think.

Muirium · 28 Jul 2015, 12:19

The caps are nice. But DisplayWriters are literally the fattest keyboards I have ever seen. They make a chubby 3278 look slender. And a Model F like a bulimic supermodel…

That extra case height above the top row is what ruins it. Empty space, wrapped in obese chassis.

XMIT · 30 Jul 2015, 04:00

Heh. I just so happen to have a Displaywriter beam spring and the Texas Instruments 914 board next to each other on a shelf. The 914 is taller by about 15mm.
