Best price, but convenienty/easy it is not ;-)
You’d think some Amiga fan in Japan would buy all such cheap hardware then re-sell it on ebay to an international market wher you can use something simple like PayPal for payment.

I wouldn't expect them to use a US keyboard in Brazil so that is new, it would be interesting to know what international market the Brazil manufacturing was for and if they also did the C64 and C128.

I believe that market was for the Drean Commodore 64 models or something, not that I have read about it since over a decade.

"Made in Brazil" Amigas were for the domestic market only, AFAIK. And used standard US keyboards.

Drean C64 was made in Argentina, not Brazil.
