Great/Interesting Finds

[XMIT]

XT pile ended with 300 bucks. XMIT, did you get it?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-IBM-Persona ... 1665253698

No, I did not. Please thank Xonar on GH for out-sniping me at the last second.

PM him to see if maybe he is willing to share them. Maybe I should have set a $500 snipe like someone suggested.

[dzhoou]

Nah, I'm not that interested in XT's myself. To me $300 is already overpriced as a bulk price.

You're the one who placed a $300 bid? Maybe you can try an auto sniping tool like Auction Sniper next time.

Seriously? What a dick move.

Guys, there is a keyboard on ebay that I really need..

..Can I call dibs?

[scottc]

Now I'm curious...

[quietobserver]

Seriously? What a dick move.

That's not it, he just had no idea that XMIT was also organizing something over here.

Yeah, quietobserver is correct. We chatted afterwards. Everyone who wanted a keyboard from the haul is getting one. Maybe send him a PM. Not a dick move, just an uninformed one.

Maybe I'll start cross-posting more now for special things like this.

Is G81-8016 considered mechanical? I'm more interested if the key caps are dye subs but I don't know enough to be sure. He has 10 of these so it's unlikely that it's mechanical at that price.

Yes, they are mechanical, but have MY switches instead of MX ones. And as indicated by the G81-8016LQNUS, the key caps are lasered not dyesub printed.

Really cheap 8113s. NKRO, MX browns, (shiny) doubleshots.

And center stemmed Caps Lock!

Aah, fair enough. Apologies for my rash judgement. From what XMIT said, it seemed that it was intentional.

No XT for me, thanks. I've got more than enough IBM boards until the next 4704 haul appears.

not so nice switches in my opinion, but a keyboard with a interesting history

Strange switches:

[seebart]

Hmm not sure if I've ever seen that switch before.

[urbancamo]

Are these SGI keyboard mechanical or rubber dome?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Silicon-G ... 6016.l4276

[guk]

The latter.

[Muirium]

Yeah, they look too modern to be Granites. And so overpriced!

[scottc]

Particularly bad domes in a nice case. Useless.

[Chyros]

Yeah, they look too modern to be Granites. And so overpriced!

IIRC that model does have a "granite" pattern case, but it's the AT101's successor, and yeah, it's rubber dome. The seller must've googled the wrong eBay listings to estimate a price xD .
