Here is what they had :


6 keyboards in boxes like new .

I think the order should be by posts in this thread. At least this is the order usually used in these cases.

Hahaha, of course you'd say that because you're the first to post on this thread!

Still want to be counted in

By the way, did you notice the three Berlin guys had been the first to raise their hands?

..must not mention towels on sun loungers!!

Ascaii didn't ask to be put down until the middle of page 2!

Dirge takes over now !
HE will collect the payment from you guys and all boards will be sent directly to him,
this should keep shipping-cost as low as possible .

Photos will be up later today !!

I'll have a word with the seller and see if they can ship the UK ones direct to save on repeat shipping costs. I'm off work for two weeks so should have plenty time to do this, although may not have access to all the packing materials I need, but will do my best

He didn't explicitely say yes, but I know him ...



ps:
The like new boxes: Are the keyboards like new, or the boxes?
Same for the damaged boxed: Are the keyboards damaged, or just the boxes?

The boards are 'like new', some of the boxes are not .

Thanks to everyone involved in organizing this!

mmhh... I'm late.... can you put me on the waiting-list for a NIB or NIDB?

"like new" means they had been used, but not much is visible => !NIB.

In that case I'm fine with a board in a damaged box as long as the keyboard is not yellowed etc.

I think we'll need to see Peters pictures until we go ahead with this one. Don't want to spend a fortune on the credit card and be left with shit in nice boxes.

PLEASE NOTE :
Boards have US-layout and ISO-enter key .
One weird layout
Also, the board I received did not come in a original Cherry-box !

If that's a problem for anyone I'll be more than happy to buy the compose-ke..
I mean keyboard

It's more like : Nice keyboards in shitty boxes I think

Layout seems perfectly fine to me. It's ISO layout with ANSI labels

Looks amazing, also Do key is best key .

Guys, I have to go to work for a few hours now, talk to you later

Yeah, just to bad they misspelled D'oh!

We expected a weired layout. That's why we want them!

Is the keyboard unused?

Post pictures!!!

edit: saw them in the first post!

This looks like new!!!

If anybody wants to jump off, I'd be in for 2.

I also take keyboards without key caps if there are any leftover.

ps: There are only 1, 1.5 and 2 units keys (except for space and return).

Does that make those doubleshot arrow keys rare as rocking horse shit then?

Layout is closer to ansi isn't it? But with a DE <>

I love the double ,, .. keys

Very interesting board and plate mounted cherry, it needs a teensy conversion!

Spoke to the girl on the phone, she's said she knows a local firm that could transport on pallet (bit overkill). I'll have a breakdown of costs by tomorrow morning and can look for UK / DE / Europe shipping costs for everyone.

She said they are all in the same condition, I think they've opened to boxes to check they are not missing keys. But I'll put a bit of tape on 7bits so it feels like he's opening it for the first time.

It is US-layout, like on the terminal keyboards.

Stop talking, start shipping!

This is nice!

Thanks!

She's going to phone me tomorrow, I've got bubbel wrap and packing paper ready to get things sorted.

I've asked them to check the warehouse for any other keyboards, and just been honest with them about what we want them for. To convert old keyboards that don't work on PC's, we're looking for boards in good condition and cheap. Otherwise there's not much point in doing it.

You want to convert them?

Reminds me of my G80-2551. Bought it because of a few keys I wanted to put on my daily driver,
but then in the end I kept the box closed and the keyboard intact.

Anything else would be like cutting a piece out of a Picasso drawing to write down a grocery list.

Not sure why I was ignored by Peter from previous thread. So if I am still in... I am interested in keycaps only due to shipping to USA cost. Be happy with the one with missing f8, one less blank keycap won't break my heart.
