Price Check: How much is my _____ worth?

[Prelim]

I've bought one used for 12€ about 2 weeks ago here on deskthority.

so how much worth a new-in-box? 35€?

[photekq]

The fact that it's new in box really doesn't mean much, since it isn't a collectible Cherry keyboard. If it were a G80-3000HAU or something, then sure, the box/new condition would mean something.

Maybe 25eur at the most.

[Prelim]

yeah but it costs 115€ at shop! I'll ask 27.5€ then

[pasph]

How much for an Olivetti KBD 2812 with italian layout dyesub and black MY switches?

[IvanIvanovich]

Depends which revision. If ALL the keycaps are MX compatible and none have those MY integrated stabs perhaps somewhere up to $80 if in top condition for the caps. Probably no one will care about the keyboard itself.

[bugsaint]

LZ-GH from last years GB over at GH. How would I even put a price on this board? LZ-GH is in red, with MX red switches. Item is located in the UK (with me obviously).

How much is a nib/near mint G80-3000had/hau?

And how much do they usually weigh? I'd like to have one or the other shipped to Malaysia, shipping would me my biggest concern. Oh, and would they be considered vintage boards, and from which year onwards do boards count as modern boards?

Sorry about the grammar.

[davkol]

Technically, anything with three-letter code is vintage. If you're after vintage switches, the first ~3 years of production should work.

I used to have a G80-1000HAD (a bit more solid than 3000); it was definitely under 2 kg shipped. These usually go for about €45 used.

[combataran]

I'm not after the switches per se, just looking for my first vintage cherry board with blacks. How would the 1000 compare against the 3000?

[davkol]

Look into wiki. 1000 is more solid and might have somewhat better rollover off the top of my head.

[IvanIvanovich]

Short answer, 1000 has larger case body and usually NKRO though some 2KRO versions also exist. Some 1000 models made towards the end of their availability have a PCB that will fit inside a 3000 case shell giving you NKRO and a slimmer case in winkeyless. HAD models seem to be much easier to come across so probably not more than $40 or so. HAU models are more desirable usually and more costly but I wouldn't suggest paying more than $80 for one and it must be near pristine. This is assuming standard black on beige colorway. If it's anything else those are less common and may be worth more.

[photekq]

Ivan, don't suppose you know how to identify newer 1000s with NKRO, 3000 compatible PCBs?

[IvanIvanovich]

Can only tell if you can see the bottom label prior to purchase. The FCC ID has a 3000 model there not 1000 model... but that only tells you it's a 3000 PCB, does not ensure NKRO just as much chance to get 2KRO.

Hi, I bought a Poker II w/browns, blue leds, ISO UK, costed 120€ shipping included. The thing is I miss a lot, i mean A LOT, the arrow keys. I know I can replicate them with fn but it's not the same. I was thinking in selling it but I don't know if it's going to become a rarity or if i'm going to lose too much for it.

I bought it through amazon.co.uk and the thing is it's not listed anymore in this configuration, is it a limited batch or something?

Around 100eur I'd say

edit: didn't realise it was a G81. Closer to what Ivan said

[seebart]

thank you photekq, I´d like some more of you cherry experts here to comment, please tell me if you want to see more pictures.

Around 100eur I'd say

that seems a like lot for a G81

[IvanIvanovich]

I would be surprised if you would get more than 60EUR for a doubleshot DE set. It's not as if they are hard to find or in very high demand. You might also be able to get a little for the case body if someone needs to replace one that is yellowed or damaged from a G80.

[seebart]

Yeah I agree with you, even 60 would be good. It is NIB though.

[davkol]

What about a winkeyless Cherry G81-3000 branded as AEG Olympia, made in ~1990, with mint ISO cyrillic doubleshots?

[HzFaq]

Lots.

Lots and lots.

Are you buying it or selling it?

edit - For a slightly more helpful answer, I'd say something like €80-€100. The Cyrillic DS will drive the price up, but I can see the ISO bringing it back down again...

[IvanIvanovich]

$150ish for the AEG, has the rarer RU 'typist' layout on it.

[photekq]

Oh lawd. A HAR. So much want!!!

I've never had an AEG Olympia. Are the colours a little bit different from regular beige doubleshots?

[HzFaq]

I wondered when you would show up, I nearly messaged you .

[Muirium]

I love watching this rare Cherry trading. It makes me feel sane for chasing after obscure old IBMs!

[HzFaq]

I feel the same way about all this IBM madness .

[davkol]

Yeah, I'll be selling it soon, as well as post some nicer pictures. Thanks for the info.

I don't have any normal Cherry doubleshots for comparison anymore. These look a tad bit more creamy or something to me, but I could be totally off here.

[kbdfr]

I've got the same keyboard somewhere.
As far as I can say without trying to find it just now, the caps are slightly more coffeeish than usual and the Cyrillic legends are (Cherry high-quality) printed on the DS caps.

[gogusrl]

Wasn't sure where to post this, I found an EVEREX 386 notebook (FCC ID E3EEX-NB1100) for sale with a keyboard that looks like this :


What are the chances that they have Cherry compatible mounts ?
