You're generally looking for something between €40 and €80 for NIB one, depending on your location and keyboards layout (I'm Czech and mine had Czech layout, thus more people were interested).
BTW have you had any issues with its trackpoint? Mine did all sorts of funky stuff like cursor moving to screen's bottom edge just by itself until I touched touchpad—on one GNU/Linux distro. The other distro had different problems, such as non-functional buttons (incorrect scan codes were sent). I lent it to a guy with MS Windows, and he had to install supplied drivers to get it to work at all. I wonder, if it was a flawed design, or just one bad keyboard.

I just bought a broken Cooler Master Storm QuickFire Pro with Cherry Reds from ebay. I will be harvesting all the switches from it. I only need 15 switches for my purposes, I plan on selling the rest.
I'm looking for suggestions for how to sell them. Person to person via PM? Ebay? Sell them individually or in sets of 5 or 10? The going rate for Cherry Reds?
I see a few Ebay stores selling them individually for $2.50. WASDKeyboards sells them for $2.00. Obviously if I undercut both of them I should sell theses switches rather quickly?

Those are brand new switches. That's the price to beat. I bought 100 used MX blacks recently for about 25 bucks, shipped.

^nice German layout.
I found these 2, not sure if they're worth anything (pretty sure the IBM looking one doesn't have buckling springs).
Can I use the caps or anything from the Commodore? Is it worth anything?

If that C64 works, it's a shame to pull it apart. You should be able to sell it for about 30€, maybe more.

I have, in the post, a lovely Cherry LK201 clone board with vintage blacks:
It's NIB or almost NIB (looks like it was just taken out of the box to have the photo taken).
I also noticed a thread about one of these recently... and someone mentioning that they turned down a $300 eBay bid for it!
I had some other pictures of it (including a close-up of a sticker with model numbers etc on it), but can't see them since the bids have ended.
What's the verdict?
Edit: got some more pictures!

I have a "white" Leopold TKL with browns I want to sell. Also, full (not TKL) Round 3 set, R4/R3 Function set, other misc keys from those and other GBs.
What are those going for these days?

[wiki]Monterey K101[/wiki] (well, K102 specifically, as yours is "ISO"), most likely blue Alps. One of the best-sounding keyboards ever made, with a wonderful rich resonance. Rock solid. Universal keycaps are likely to be double-shot; the function keys and language-specific ones will be dye sub.IonutZ wrote:

How much for a Cherry G80-1000HAD/14 (date code A29 aka July '88)? Keycaps are mint (numrow, numpad, right shift) to shiny, but IMHO not too sticky yet (arrows, most alphas, enter); case looks a bit yellowed; some dust on PCB.
I want to use vintage blacks on a different 'board, but if it's equal to ruining the keyboard, I'll rather sell it and get the switches somewhere else. What would be the keyboard worth without switches?

Got my hands on a G81-3000LGNDE.
I think I saw one on a korean blog a while ago but never seen one since.
Lasered PBT keys and mushy MY switches but the top case is pretty cool and feels great.
Now if I just had a G80 with vintage blacks and nice doubleshots to put the case on...
