How this works

There are a total of 9 units available in heavily varying conditions. They are split into tiers below. You can enter each tier, but you can only win in one tier. That means if you enter in the first and second tier, and win in the first tier drawing, you will receive the better condition board and will be disqualified from the worse quality tier, to give others a chance. Basically that means one unit per member. No picking of individual boards. Randomizer will decide distribution.

To enter simply leave a message below with the tiers you wish to enter. Entering will be accepted until Wednesday, 2014/04/30, or until all tiers have enough entries (after that date only!).

"Winners" can swap boards between each other or split them up into parts after being announced and I can ship it that way. This will have to be done between "winners" individually and before I ship.

Tier #1: "Pretty Good" tier - 20,00 EUR/ea


#1-1 ISO DE, Modern variant, purple legends (not blue!) quite cool. Rare. hard-wired cable cut. Terminal protocol. Shows yellowing.


#1-2 ISO DE, Good condition, PC protocol (!), hard-wired cable cut, case replaced due to massive cracks.

Tier #2: "I can probably salvage this" tier - 15,00 EUR/ea


#2-1 ISO DE, Uneven discoloration. Terminal protocol. Terminal socket.


#2-2 ISO US(?), Uneven discoloration, marker writing. Terminal protocol. Terminal socket.


#2-3 ISO DE, Uneven discoloration, marker writing. Terminal protocol. Terminal socket.


#2-4 ISO DE, Uneven discoloration. Terminal protocol. Terminal socket.


#2-5 ISO DE, Uneven discoloration, very shiny. Terminal protocol. Terminal socket.

Tier #3: "JESUS CHRIST HOW HORRIFYING" tier - 10,00 EUR/ea


#3-1 ISO UK, HELP


#3-2 ISO DE, No case, black-on-beige keycaps, proprietary protocol.

No picking of individual boards. Randomizer will decide distribution.

But I could still enter for Tier #1 if I want #1-2 and opt-out completely if I only win #1-1?

Edit for trading: Interested in #1-2 keycaps only

I think I'll just go in for the switches since it's likely that I'll get a DE board which would be useless to me. Is there anybody who wants just the caps and case and the rest?

Alternatively, how much is shipping for a whole board?

Edit for trading: Interested in switches only, lower tier the better.

Interested only in #1-2 pcb

(since i don't see much chances to get #2-2)
Interested in Tier #3: PCB board with switches + keycaps

If someone wins #2-2 (the ISO US board) and doesn't want the switches, pls contact me before the actual send, for a possible negociation. Thanks.

Interested in switches and stabs, so #2 and #3

Interested in all categories.
I only need the board without keycaps (if someone wants to split).

In for Tier #1 and #2.

Down for Tier #1 and #2.

In for Tiers #2 and #3.

Interested in Tier #1-2.

Interested in #2-2

So when will be the prize drawing?

BTW, if it's possible not to win and i draw nothing, do you happen to have 5€ old keyboards in your cellar, and sell one of those instead (if it has cherry mx black switches), as i heard in another thread?

Tonight I guess, assuming we have enough slots now? I didn't get to count again yet

So, did I win something?

If i can still enter this i am in for all the tiest #1 to #3.

I hope i am not late to the party

TIER 1

1-1:
christkind

1-2:
iAmAhab

TIER 2

2-1:
rindorbrot

2-2:
Candyflip

2-3:
gotbadger (original draw: christkind skipped due to winning 1-1)

2-4:
madhias

2-5:
Nuum (original draw: iAmAhab skipped due to winning 1-2)

TIER 3

3-1:
Laser (original draw: Nuum, rindorbrot, Candyflip skipped due to winning other tier items)

3-2:
No one left to claim it.

Laser, if you would prefer 3-2 instead of 3-1, let me know. If anyone wants the spare board, let me know as well.

@candyflip:
Would you want to swap boards?

Since you said you want stabs and switches primarily, I guess you don't care too much about the case?
I'd like 2-2 better since the case is not so yellowed.
I think it would be easier for me to get rid of the markings on it than to do a full retrobrighting on 2-1.

Is it correct to assume you mean 3-1 and 3-2?

In that case, I would be interested in (the caps of) 3-2 if still available.

Correct, just a typo

I will take the leftovers from 3-2 after laser takes the caps - maybe we can split it €5 each. I just want the switches and mounting plate. Would that be okay with you two, sixty and Laser?

Congratulations to everyone! Didn't draw my chosen tier, but maybe i have luck in love and not in gaming

Laser seems not to have answered sixty’s question yet (if he would prefer 3-2 instead of 3-1).
I was the one interested in (the caps of) 3-2 if Laser sticks to 3-1,
and if he does, your offer is perfectly okay with me

Oh! Yes, you're right. Sorry. Sounds good to me.

Hi, sorry for delay - i'll stick to 3-1 !

Well 2-3 certainly isn't the prettiest keyboard at the ball but its got what I need

Yay, got that sweet 1-2. Might only be interested in the caps depending on how much it would cost to send the whole board to me. So if somebody is interested in the rest then let me know.

I'd be interested in the rest of the board. It's probably the case in the best shape, that's what I am after...

In this case 2-1 would be up for grabs I guess

Second in line (for pcb+plate, not case) for 1-2
