$47 shipping

Thank god at least he shows pictures with the box empty. That could have gone in the line of "Mystery IBM box for sale, who knows what's inside..."

Weezer · 07 Jul 2020, 16:09

So do you guys think the $47 shipping just means he'll ship you the box, or will you be getting a box in a box?

Everything?

I read the price as $27,500 not $2,750 as it currently shows...so maybe not everything

It was an limited offer from a local Makita distributor, I think this cases accumulated and they just wanted to get rid of them

Like many of my projects, on hold for now. I have collected some parts and tools though for my future workshop endeavors. I do have a decently equipped laptop which I would like to integrate into this case. I do need to get a PCB and then figure out how to build everything into this case.

Boxes reminds me of this, which has been up for some time now:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/163503556563

It looks to me like someone took the APL keycaps, put them on their keyboard and put the non-APL ones back into the box.

There's no gold badge as such. It's the yellowing on the protective plastic that makes it look like gold. Also that price is a scam. One sold last week for 200ish.

Very nice keycaps. Shape of them looks like they could be SKCC switches?
