edit: 300 Grab Bags sold in 80 seconds. We are OUT OF STOCK! omg!!

Was just going to post your edit. Can't believe they're so popular.

can't really say I'm surprised, many leftovers from SA keysets like Carbon and Danger Zone, and DSA sets like Granite and Borealis which are all the hype right now

I prefer the older grab bags, they sometimes included keys from OTD GB's - managed to get some odd keys keys from Wyse DSA and Dolch. I doubt that will be happening again any time soon

So who is this? speak up!

Probably another redditor

If someone really were to reply saying they had an Unsaver...it would be finding the hay in the needlestack for sure.

There's a guy on a section of Pennsylvania's Craiglist doing the same thing. I had the same thought yesterday about it being someone in the community.

Also, did anyone here get that Epson PX-4 replacement keyboard yesterday from England for 19 GBP? Anyone know if they are the same Hirose M8 variant as the PX-8?

If I knew there was an unsaver as a reward, I would gladly jump in and find the hay in the needlestack.

Nevermind. No great find

Apple Avid Keyboard for 20€. Looks like an AEK but _different_.
I really have no idea. Is this rubberdome?

looks like an appledesign board with custom caps. Could be alps compatible caps, but no guaruntees. It will be dome with slider.

[nastrovje]

Yes just researched a bit more, isn't what I was hoping for. I just got hyped because of colourful alps caps.

I might have placed a bid on this if other opportunities hadn't presented themselves.

Would be a shame to toss the vintage laptop, but nice dolch scheme ALPS keycaps.

I'm interested in using FJ in the future, but I'm curious, how much extra did you have to pay after all the additional fees?

I haven't paid any shipping for anything yet (waiting for it all to arrive so I can consolidate) and on my paypal I can't find any extra fees aside from what I've deposited, so I guess it all gets piled on at the shipping phase. I'll update when I can

[ohaimark]

Glad to help. I knew that an enthusiast here who was ISO friendly would scoop it up... I just can't stand the layout.

Should be a Model F AT next to an Amiga 500.

I'd like to try a Model F AT some time... But reading the description alone makes me believe it will not be easy to get it if you cannot fetch it on your own from the seller

[shreebles]

I'd go pick it up* but I'm completely swamped this weekend, will take another look if it's still there next week.

*not necessarily for myself

They have become very scarce on the market in the last 3 years or so, although they do not sell for painfully high prices when they do appear.

One problem is that few were made - the XT variant was produced heavily for several years, but the AT model was quickly superseded by the Model M after it came out.

The Japanese Trackpoint II board there is regular IBM buckling spring manufactured in the USA. Seems to be the predecessor of the ultra classic as far as the case design goes. It has a weird flip out piece on the back and a PS/2 port on the side that I think can only be used for a mouse. I've got one that has a pretty yellowed case and the case is cracked around the trackpoint buttons, but have thought about using the keycaps for something at some point. If someone HAS to have one, PM me and we might be able to work something out. Was considering selling it, but I am kind of on the fence.

[scottc]

Oh man, that Amiga board looks great. Been wanting one of those with white Invaders for ages.

[Nuum]

This is a G83, right? http://www.ebay.de/itm/Peacock-DIN-Stec ... 2518.l4276
No deep dished F and J if I'm not mistaken.

You can also see it when looking at the case. G83 always have a little step in the case around the keycaps.

[Nuum]

Yeah, I wasn't sure if this really is a step or if it's just the photo making it appear as one.

[shreebles]

Let me know what it should be worth, maybe I can message the seller and pick up both next week!

The seller is what we call a "Schlitzohr" in german! I think our own Phenix is getting the AT.

Not like I've been desperate for an AT for a while now

But I'll stay put...

I've had my Ebay-Kleinanzeigen Krimi this month:

[ramnes]

Niiiiiiiice!

[shreebles]

Holy shit, congrats, Wodan!
Also, I refuse to deal with this Gummersbach person, good luck to phenix and seebart.

[seebart]

I knew you were crazy Wodan. And that other story...

Holy shit, congrats, Wodan!
