I think this might be Hall Effect... The listing had a best offer so I offered, never got a response. Sent a PM and now the best offer is gone. Apparently, now that I expressed interest, he must think someone will be willing to pay full price... So if $250 is worth it, go ahead I guess.

If that was a wider shot, it would make for an excellent Halloween banner!

A stunning deal!
2 MY switches for 5€!
And the best of all: it's the newer, spectacularly mushy kind!
Yes, two of them, for only 5€!

Dear seller ("kaziqkaziqkaziq"), certainly you read here
as a pic in your eBay listing proudly presents a screenshot of a part of the relevant DT wiki entry
and you obviously have been specializing in keyboards, at least in the last 6 months.

Don't you think it would be fair to at least mention Deskthority if you copy our wiki? :lol:

Blimey! I'm surprised you posted this listing here! I would have kept that amazing deal all to myself :lol:

EDIT : Oh, it's the guy who keeps butchering Cherry keyboards with spray paint and Anonymous stickers.. Somehow I'm not surprised! :roll:

Looks like a report link to the MY switch sale that kbdfr posted earlier. Look at the item code in the URL.

Ah OK well that sale is ridiculous anyway.

Exactly, I'd report it on my own but only the owner, or whatever, of Deskthority should do it.

It depends on the image licence, just using it is wrong though. For ebay sales this is generally a bad idea and ebay tells you that.

The seller did not copy a pic, but included a partial screenshot of a page of our wiki in his listing.
While I think our general wiki policy is to allow free use of pics unless stated otherwise,
I think that publishing a screenshot of our forum for gainful purposes does not fall under such a liberal policy,
especially when the culprit does not even mention the source.

Yes that's the point, if we send this information to ebay the seller could get into trouble. I think questions from bidders are also shown at the bootom of the auction page, we could formulate it as a question. :evilgeek:

Only the questions the seller "approves" show up.
Also, 5€ for 2 MY switches...that's insane...
BTW that's a nice cutaway view..wherever he "borrowed" it from!

This is why I try not to check sold listings. It hurts too much! :(

A little while ago an SSK sold for $45 + shipping. Brutal.

Yup, I remember checking sold listings a few weeks back to see an SSK with a BIN of $45 or $50. Oh well. :x
