OK, I have to somehow grab browns.

Oh you bastard!

where did you get IBM 5140?

somebody on r/mechmarket sold a keyboard module for a fair price.
He was based in Denmark, making shipping costs to germany pretty low as well.

Yeah, that one for $300. Cool.
Was this a fair price for it? So I know for future hunting.

It comes with 58 SKCM Browns and a nice PBT keyset. If we value the keycaps at $115 (and I do, because I sold one for $115 just a month ago) then the browns are ($300-$115)/58 = $3.19 apiece, which is about right (I just sold my last browns a month ago for $2.90 apiece and I could have easily asked more).

well actually a fair bit less, since I talked to the guy but yes, that was the one.

I see. OK.. so if anybody has like ~80 brown alps for $3 each, please let me know
