Great/Interesting Finds

[pcaro]

It's boxed, not NIB. For mine, I paid 37€ (including shipping) on February. This is 63€

[Scottex]

Spanish, boxed (and expensive) g80-1000. The best keycaps.

Someone Spanish should get this quickly before I do..

63€ shipped
too much for mx black (keep in mind my most expensive kb is a model f 70€ shipped )

if a third spanish dude posts here that he doesn't want it, i'll take it (before photekq does)

Looks like some cool cherry caps. Incompatible enter keys and whatnot, but still fun.

I'll be bidding on that Blue ALPS board. I want to try a trackball. It's going to get ugly, so wish me luck.

I think for once we should all just bid now and drive up the price so we don't have to suffer 6 days of false hope .

[ohaimark]

Well, it's past 100 with shipping. I'm out. I expect it'll go for $200+.

If any of you are bidding, good luck.

[Tuntematon]

It will go high for sure. Brand new blue Alps and some really nice doubleshots. Yikes.

Oh yeah, I hate when a board stays at like $10 for a week and then goes up to $150 + in the last five minutes.

Someone put in a $1,000,000 bid and commit financial sudoku to see how high people are willing to bid for this.

No, don't do that, seriously. I saw someone put a $50,000 bid on some trinket on eBay once, obviously done as a troll or joke move, but yeeeeah...

If all I had to do with my finances was Sudoku... I'd have that keyboard.

Even though I'm young, I'm out of touch with memes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Tuntematon]

Worst case scenario: you get a non-paying bidder strike on your account. Who's feeling anarchistic today?

Looks like the Bulgarians did black before black was cool. If I had as much disposable income as some of the crazy collectors, I'd take risks on things like this, because it looks amazing, haha. But alas, I have relegated myself to Alps for now.

[Crazy Canadian XXIV]

That is gorgeous. Interface doesn't look very conversion-friendly, but hot damn. That is a looker of an old keyboard if I've ever seen one.

[Blaise170]

Most likely reed switches, almost every Soviet era keyboard I've seen has been.

Ask me before you buy one of these Tipros

I lost it at the guy using the keyboard as a riot shield

Gotta love how over-the-top Chinese advertising is. I was questioning what makes it a "great/interesting find" until I got to the product description. If that doesn't make it a great find, especially the aforementioned keyboard-as-riot-shield bit, I dunno what would.

The keyboard seems too thin to have switches (see the images from the back). It looks more like rubber dome. But it may have alps/cherry compatible keycaps

[Blaise170]

Screws on the back is a classic sign of rubber dome.

Some interesting stuff:
model f xt:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/IBM-515X-PC-Tast ... 1945163987

It went for 37,11€. I did not bid. Not sure how to feel, did I miss a really good price?

Because it sure seems like a decent price, considering what even the simple Model M's go for these days.

[rddm]

I put my high bid on 35€ and forget about the auction . Shipping should be more than 20€, but still a good price.

[Excelso]

I've found this looking for a BIG keyboard...

I also did not bid, I wait for model f at. I think that was a good price, I have seen the last months some model f XTs gone for less, but always about 30€. The last XT I had bid on was a special one with a bigger case that was sold on ebay 1-2 months ago (I think for 32€).

[shreebles]

Oh, sorry! And I would've paid only 8€ in shipping to make it an even better deal.

But then again, we really don't know how much the highest bidder was ready to pay. I had a hunch to bid at least 50, considering that a Model F is a really nice keyboard. Maybe then he would've bid 51 in the last millisecond.

That layout is of course not much fun for me, so maybe it's good that I didn't try. Best to just keep waiting for the FSSK

[Scottex]

if a third spanish dude posts here that he doesn't want it, i'll take it (before photekq does)

did you get it?

[rddm]

@Scottex the seller doesn't responde. I contacted him to, to get a quote to Portugal.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Retro-IB ... OR:GB:1123 , the seller is willing to accept 30£!
