Maybe this Cherry can be HAD cheap: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anz ... 3-225-5809

But the keys are already a bit yellowed...

Honestly, that's not even that bad of a deal when you consider shipping from Japan to Turkey, the original price of the keyboard, and the mods done to it. Still too much money imo, but comparing it to the prices other boards have been going at...

Are they actually blue alps though? I can't see the picture very well, and the slider colour seems off ... Although of course cameras don't capture the shade very well.

Smart cookie right there. What a great selling practice, make the item inaccessible so you can't answer any questions.

This practice bothers me to no end. Never pack your item until things have been paid and the deal is sealed, sheesh.

I can only imagine it leading to the wrong item being shipped from time to time.

Tuntematon · 24 Mar 2016, 03:37

The reasoning was that it guaranteed exact shipping costs. I guess you can't achieve that with an open box

.

In other news, I received a keyboard with 1st edition Alps SKCM white (slits, no logo). I've been curious about this flavour of white Alps for a while. Feel is pretty good. The keyboard isn't in the greatest shape, unfortunately, so consistency varies. I will have to take a closer look.

It's a Keytech/Monterey K102 (FKF456K-102)

Custom dyed M0115, M0116 and 2x M0312 from the same seller.

AEKIIs don't do it for me, but the other two are not too shabby.

I agree. But isn't Plasti-Dip prone to peeling?

Make sure to buy lots of translucent blue tape so you can tape up all of your keyboards' badges, stickers, or labels and increase their value by 500%!

Dude, the same 0 feedback bidders are driving this one up too! SOMETHING HAS TO BE UP HERE. This cannot be legit. I'm really getting vibes that these are trolls or something. They can't all be related to the sellers, though they ironically help them significantly.

Unless that one with 0 feedback who won the TI KB-101A actually paid and is a crazy second b**a in the making. I really don't know what's going on here, but it's definitely irksome.

I will rage quit this hobby for a few weeks if that Leading Edge 2014 goes for more than my 3014.

Blaise170 · 24 Mar 2016, 19:12

Didn't some other person have exactly the same pictures in their listing?

Redmaus · 24 Mar 2016, 19:20

Oh my god why is a banana edition sooo expensive?

Wondering how high this will go with 2 mins hours left

Invisius · 24 Mar 2016, 19:39

Look at the bidding history, it's the same exact 0-feedback bidders doing the same thing. Happening on this listing as well http://www.ebay.com/itm/111943444691

I've forwarded this info to support, hopefully we can get these fools blacklisted.

Redmaus · 24 Mar 2016, 19:44

You mean the dude is shilling?

Invisius · 24 Mar 2016, 19:49

Don't know if it's the sellers working together, friends, or just random trolls..hopefully eBay will.

Redmaus · 24 Mar 2016, 19:52

Yeah could be anything. I also just found another AcerKB101A rebrand. 100$ BIN. I don't have the money right now though

Better snab it quick! http://www.ebay.com/itm/ITT-XTRA-101-AT ... xy66pRv095

Good lord, what are those switches?

Upside-down rubber domes and plungers would be my guess.

jacobolus · 24 Mar 2016, 21:27

Or... there are people who never bought a keyboard on ebay before but decided they really want a blue Alps board.

Look at that switch Redmaus, not really what you want is it? That commercial seller has tons of super high roller offers all the time like this:
