I believe that too after looking closely at the pictures from the listing and the wiki.

Its not what its worth its what its worth to the person buying it. It may only be worth £100 but if someone is willing to pay £500 ( out of the air numbers).

That being said if he does not want to sell it why list it, its not as if it is large to store you could easy fit it in your luggage, its no beamspring.

Ha! He's selling the exact keyboard I used in this beamjaws picture:

Now is your chance to own this famous keyboard for only $200!

I'm the seller.
I do want to sell the kishsaver I just don't NEED to sell it to finance my opportunity.

Also I'm not going to jail

Don't be so sure. They like to plan SWAT team raids on Mondays at 5:00am.

well compared to that 1200 kishy that´s a somewhat reasonable price.

I'm the seller.I do want to sell the kishsaver I just don't NEED to sell it to finance my opportunity.

Finance my opportunity?I´m sure you mean you rather have the $$$ than the kishy.

Also I'm not going to jail

no unless it´s a fake,but even then your not going to jail.

That being said if he does not want to sell it why list it, its not as if it is large to store you could easy fit it in your luggage, its no beamspring.

he´s saying he´s willing to part with it for that price.The stack of $$$ will make him overcome his sadness.

I know. I wasn't being sarcastic. I was actually considering it. If it was $100 Buy it Now, I would have already bought it.

I probably wouldn't consider buying that $1200 "Kishsaver" even if I won the lottery.

seebart · 12 Oct 2014, 18:48

I know you were not, if it were in the EU I might considder it! Those caps...make me drooooooool.

nope me neither, because with $1200 I could buy many many keyboards instead.

Don't let it become a planter

Thanks for posting about this -- I ended up grabbing it.

And don't worry, it won't become a planter!

Here's a beam spring for $100, IN EUROPE....
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Clavier-IBM-197 ... 3a98ac3bbb

I wonder why it's not AZERTY? Seems to have French accent keys.

Anyway, looks like a nice BS...

Muirium · 12 Oct 2014, 22:55

Azerty seems to not be as mandatory in France as Qwertz is in Germany. I recall seeing a bit of a mixture in French keyboards.

Hypersphere · 12 Oct 2014, 23:30

XT for $13.24.

Holy shit. Here's a bunch of Displaywriter systems with seven keyboards:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-6580-DISPLA ... 1624772870

The seller says they will sell individual pieces, but it would be a shame to just take keyboards, making the remaining bits useless. It would be damn heavy to ship though.

quantalume · 13 Oct 2014, 18:29

So, $300 for the whole pile? Too bad it's not buy-it-now.

Laser · 13 Oct 2014, 18:39

It accepts offers for parts, so ...

Iacoizumi · 13 Oct 2014, 18:46

Anyone live in Virginia comfortable with running a group buy for the 6580s? I'm sure there are people around here interested in grabbing one of the keyboards and perhaps a monitor or the main computer body.

Personally, I'd jump at the chance to grab one of the up-arrow keys. That's the only keycap I'm missing on mine!

scottc · 13 Oct 2014, 22:00

Mmh, I have a NIB unconvertible G80-2500 that I need new insides for, and that's perfect... I don't know if I can justify it, though.

Thank you very much for the tip, bought it.

scottc · 13 Oct 2014, 22:04

I guess that's my mind made up for me. Shouldn't have hesitated. Enjoy, Nuum!

gogusrl · 13 Oct 2014, 22:05

The itch is great but i'm gonna abstain. Thanks to pasph I got my hands on that G81-3000HAU so I'll wait for some dyesubs now.

nvm, grats Nuum

scottc · 13 Oct 2014, 22:07

G81-3000! I need to watch this thread more closely.

gogusrl · 13 Oct 2014, 22:12

yup, unfortunately the case looks pretty bad, not sure if it's fixable (without a paintjob). link is on the last page.

scottc · 13 Oct 2014, 22:14

The case doesn't really matter, the real prize is that beautiful keycap set! I'm quite jealous. Great find indeed!

Ah, that's wonderful news! I look forward to pics of it alongside a keyboard or two

Didn't some here buy a few of these Swedish "Hyundai" branded NIB boards recently? Were they any good?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Swedish-A ... 1564315847?

Forum search is eluding me for now, but I'm sure that was how it wound up on my watchlist. I'm tempted to grab one (what with free UK shipping) but I want to know about the condition of the foam (they're foam and foil linear capsense, right?) and whether the caps are any good.
