Sounds like a good idea!

I can't think of anything to say. This just defies sarcasm. 8O

Wait a second... if the keyboard costs that much, how much would the computer that it attaches to be? 8O ;)

I found that hard to believe, so I looked into in.

It turns out that the exact same keyboard on KeyTronics website is a mere $16.99 US. The Keyboard page is <a target="_blank" href="http://www.keytronic.com/home/shop/shop.asp?sel=48">
here</a>, and the detail page of that keyboard is<a target="_blank" href="http://www.keytronic.com/home/products/specs/eo5305cms.htm">
here</a>

The OfficeDepot website shows no keyboards under the name "KeyTronics", they only have one LCD screen by them.

This must be a problem on the Amazon's site, or a pratical joke. Nonetheless, it has been halarious reading all the "comments" on that page!

It's just a humorous pricing error, I'm sure. I am curious what would happen if someone actually tried to purchase it. Would Amazon actually try to charge them $1 million? Hopefully nobody has a credit limit that high.

Note: Post edited slightly to make it a bit less sarcastic. :roll:

Some Amazon orders are from Office Depot, which turns out to be Tech Depot, which is really Computers4sure.com. I know, I just ordered a Cisco 350 Aironet PC Card wifi card from them. If I'd know that, I would'a just gone to computers4sure....

Searching on the latter site for this item indicated it was about $8, but discontinued. Nice to see that the middleware is functioning. :\

Just think of the cash back you'd get from your credit card for that purchase, lol.

Well Im sorry Dave, but I didnt need a sarcastic comment like that, I obviously knew that and so, maybe other people didnt understand so I said that for their purpose.

Bite my head off why dont you.

Justin, relax. There isn't the slightest hint of sarcasm in Dave's post. He even started off the post by saying "No offense".

Back ontopic: I've heard that pricing items high is a "hacky" way of listing things in systems but preventing their purchase. I wonder if someone set it up temporarily with this price but never forgot to change it back? I'm sure contacting Amazon would resolve it.

Okay, I've gotta ask... how to people find this stuff? Is there a wildcard search that will just pull up the entire stock and sort it in decending order of price or are there people with less of a life than me that have time to look for this the hard way? ;)
