Are we talking NIB?

I'm definitely interested

Soarer · 20 Dec 2012, 18:58

Mine was unopened!

Yes, all NIB. I'll add you to the list.

As for jp/chinese the seller doesn't know the difference. If anyone wants to join in I can check the packages before hand and split them into chinese and japanese.

Well, it's a NIB keyboard that looks unusual and may come in jp layout - put me down for one. If there are no jp ones I'll just take a Chinese one.

Would people object to paying in 3 parts? The first part would be for the boards $50 each, then when I get my customs bill through I divide by 10 and each and everyone pays there part. Lastly once I have bought the packaging and weighed everything up I can send each person a bill for how much shipping would cost.

In theory I could do it in 2 parts. 10 boards including shipping is $500usd. VAT is at 20% so if USD to GBP stays the same it should be 62gbp plus the handling fees of 14.50gbp (around 80gbp in total). 390GBP/10=39gbp per board before shipping. I'm fine with doing this but I'm a bit worried about things changing and the fact that the UKBA isn't very good at applying tax. There is rounding up in here but if we do use this way of doing it and I have money left in the paypal account at the end we could always just give the leftover to DT funds.

I just can't see another way of doing it. If anyone else can I'm open to ideas. I just don't have much spare money to use as a buffer being out of work due to the crash and it being xmas.

Sounds good by me...perhaps 7bit and I could split shipping to germany?

Wouldn't care, you are paying for the shipping. I'll post it to anybody however they want.

pasph · 20 Dec 2012, 23:38

Do it in the way you're much comfortable with, just tell me the amount of first part and your paypal account

jabar · 21 Dec 2012, 02:23

So, what would total cost be approximately for someone stateside?

fossala · 21 Dec 2012, 09:55

I'm not dealing with stateside. I can PM you the details of the seller though.

To everybody else, we really need to hit 10 before it's worth it. Anybody want 2?

fossala · 21 Dec 2012, 10:00

OK, he wants payment very soon, I've held him of until after xmas though. We really need to find 3 more people/places for the keyboard. I'll spread the word on IRC. If anybody knows EU guys on GH that may be intrested, drop them a pm.

Interested in a JP model if it can be done. Put my name down regardless.

fossala · 21 Dec 2012, 10:05

It may not be JP but I can try my best. Shipping from me to you will not be cheap. Are you sure you want it?

7bit · 21 Dec 2012, 10:07

OK, I take 2. If a JP layout is there, I would like to have the 2nd in JP layout.

fossala · 21 Dec 2012, 10:12

Thanks 7bit. Yep will give you one of each if possible.

002 · 21 Dec 2012, 10:13

I'm in fossala.

fossala · 21 Dec 2012, 10:14

OK, 1 left then.

Kurk · 21 Dec 2012, 10:38

I'll happily take the last slot

fossala · 21 Dec 2012, 10:39

You from the EU?

7bit · 21 Dec 2012, 10:42

His profile says Sauce Hollondaise, so he is from Europe.

002 · 21 Dec 2012, 10:45

Kurrk is from The Netherlands because he just registered for the Realforce tour

Half-Saint · 21 Dec 2012, 10:45

No such country as a 'Dutch Sauce'

Yeah, should have mentioned that. I'm indeed based in The Netherlands.

You should add it to your profile.

Mine has a different number again. Mine is 6113442 and is a chinese (the best because of the modifier keys aren't in english)

Icarium · 21 Dec 2012, 13:45

I'll take one, too if I don't have to deal with the import hassle.

pasph · 21 Dec 2012, 13:56

Money sent

I'm limiting it to 10. I don't know how many he has but I can't be dealing with really big group buys and have already got prices set with him. Maybe if this goes well I will see if he has anymore and run one the same again.

Don't be so pedantic!

Officially it is Koninklijk Nederlandse Saus!

fossala · 21 Dec 2012, 15:44

People be careful, due to fees from one payment I'm down $0.36! I'll let it slide but make sure it doesn't happen again because it will add up over all the payments and I can't be down on cash.

I have also asked him if he can send some JP ones.
