I personally don't mind the double posts and think it is okay for a thread like this. It's not a discussion thread where you lose track of a discussion when people keep doubleposting (yes I know I am contradicting myself here by discussing).
Rather in my eyes it is a collection of links for people to check out, posted by members whenever they find them. If you can't post whatever you find when you find it, but are forced to organize everything first, no one would post here anymore, ever. It involves too much work. It doesn't have to be tidy like in "real" discussion threads where doubleposts would be frowned upon.
The links aren't hard to find but it is much more fun to come here and see what Cherry or IBM goodness DT members have dug up, instead of going to eBay and sorting through piles and piles of crap. (e.g. "Real vintage Cherry keyboard!!11" turns out to be G83).
I'd much prefer to have an enormous list of all interesting mechanical keyboards on eBay ATM, that I can scroll through and check out one by one, than a thread where we have to keep telling members to respect forum etiquette.
If they can do the work of finding something shareworthy and sharing it with us (instead of hogging it for themselves) we can do the work of sorting through it! Instead of demanding that it be handed to us on a silver platter.

Just to get it straight. It does not require any exhausting amount of effort to refrain from clicking post, instead of waiting just 10 minutes to include a few more links in the same post, thus avoiding double posting. Hell, just leave the post window open and add the links while you are browsing eBay, when you are done press post. I'd even say it requires less effort.
I have nothing against the auction links which seebart posts. I admit some are very easy to find and some I would hardly categories as great/interesting finds, but I also believe that it's a matter of perspective and I do appreciate the links that is shared in this thread, since some might find it helpful and it can give some inspiration.

Thanks for the clarification.Halvar wrote: ↑A double post has nothing to do though with GH and DT -- it just means two (or more) posts by the same author in the same thread directly following each other without posts by others in between. This is frowned upon in some forums. I don't care much about that. It's actually not comparable to taking 8 seats in a bus, it's all just bits'n'bytes.
If an author of a post has a follow-up thought or new information, should he then edit his original post rather than posting again if there are no intervening posts by other authors?

The one thing I do object to posting so many links is that it puts those who search themselves at a disadvantage.
In fact, you can expect that quite anything interesting will be posted here for the convenience of those who are not interested enough to run a search themselves, this way undermining the efforts of the real junkies
And I am quite sure many readers of this thread are not even DT members, but just external readers.
This being said, if such links are posted, I find a battery of posts each linking a single auction better than one single post containing several links.
It is ideal for a short answer (I don't consider it off-topic to say, for example, "this is obviously a G83") which quotes the original link and thus allows immediate understanding of what is meant even when there have been several other posts in-between.

Why not make the whole marketplace members-only then?kbdfr wrote: ↑ And I am quite sure many readers of this thread are not even DT members, but just external readers.
It's customary in most forums.
PS: on topic: that french model M looks quite disgusting

AFAIK, CNY = Chinese Yuan, but that auction should be in Japanese Yen since it's Japanese. Or am I wrong?Josh wrote: ↑FYI002 wrote: ↑Another G80-5K and 5700 combo on Yahoo.

If it is Yen, Google tells me it's about 70 GBP...

Hah, yep! I've used one of these beasts in person, and wow. It really lives up to its hype. It's also arguably the best-looking of them all.

Indeed…
Where did you try one? My taste of beam spring has been at a (nearly) local museum, which happens to have a great white DisplayWriter keyboard.
