There are 2 parcels that have not landed yet according to tracking info I have (except the German lot, as you know that is going to take around 5 working days). If it hasn't turned up today I will look into it as it is 3 working day delivery. If either of you want your tracking number PM me.

I would totally be in for one if you could get another 10.

There is a round 2 thread. You are already "reserved" until you decided either way.

Package arrived today.

Now I need to figure out who gets which keyboard.

As far as I know, there is one Chinese and 3 Japanese keyboards. Do you know which product number the Chinese has?

Also:

The cleanliest package has got a huge damage to its side.
There are 2 less clean ones:
One opened which has no damages
One still closed with here an there some damages.

I think I should post some pictures later ...

fossala · 21 Jan 2013, 16:16

There should be 1 chinese, it's one of the open ones. As I said when they turned up to me, some boxes where damaged. Nothing I could do about it, sorry. Non of the keyboards should have any damage to them as they are well packed anyway.

The dirty ones (box) are just dust, wipe them down with a dry cloth it will come off. They have been stored in a warehouse for years.

Pick randomly when you give them out. It's what I did when posting them.

EDIT: Just so you know, my JP (from this buy) has a damaged box as I didn't feel right sending lots out and keeping perfect ones for myself.

7bit · 21 Jan 2013, 16:28

Sorry, I was just a bit joking as neither box is perfect, so I don't know how to decide!

The 2 with the same p/n have 2 different kinds of blue on the box printing ...

The best of all 3 Japanese boxes is slightly yellowed.

HELP!!!!

The beautiful IBM brown boxes are damaged?! Somehow that spoils all the joy of 'NIB'...

I wouldn't say they where trashed, but there is a bang on some of them. Not like the boxes are beaten up though.

You can have:

- a brown box with slightly beige label (read: got too much sun in its life) opened box, with no damage.
- a totally clean closed box with as big damage at one side.
- a dirty closed box with a few damages.
- a wait for Round 2.

Take pictures, IIRC they aren't as bad as it sounds. They are small dents.

Received

Half-Saint · 21 Jan 2013, 20:17

No, you don't understand! The boxes have been contaminated forever

Just kidding. I don't mind a few small dents. Just as long as the box isn't trashed the way that NIB G80-1306HAD was. Had to throw it away (the box, not the keyboard).

The box?

pasph · 23 Jan 2013, 11:57

Obviously the box, it takes too much space

Huh...? Keyboards with boxes take up _less_ space because they stack better.

I think it depends how many you have. All mine are kept in home made or original boxes.

7bit · 23 Jan 2013, 12:41

Keyboards in original boxes always take more space because the box must be put into a box ...

JBert · 23 Jan 2013, 12:58

So you store them NIBIB?

7bit · 23 Jan 2013, 13:10

Sure! And it is even worse!

I put the box into a plastic bag an put it then into a box which is put into the cellar.

So it is a keyboard in a box in a plastic bag in a box in a cellar in a house!
