That's not an ebay price, that's a retail price from the place I bought my
Filcos. There are not many places to get Topres outside Taiwan and Japan,
which is one of the reasons they're so high. http://www.elitekeyboards.com
As far as I know, you're not going to do better than $300 unless you have a
friend in Japan who's planning a trip.
