I hope so, but I suspect those crazy high prices will continue...

21000 lbs is about 7000 keyboards if they weigh 3 lbs each, and if you are a company that needs that many, it's a pretty good deal at a little over $1/board.

No company needs 7000 dirty, untested keyboards... Considering a new one doesn't cost much more than one dollar if you order more than one

These Link/Wyse 'boards do have MX Blacks, apparently:

Disgusting! Look at all those never-been-cleaned dome boards in there. A real waste of resources.

I'd say: cheap rubberdome galore!!!

Prelim · 22 Apr 2016, 00:47

I would like to catch a stack of those in the 90's! @@

Reusable or not, I would say caps-only sale is a great find. If i was in Germany, I would be tempted by this.

In related listings, there was this

I couldn't help but laugh when seeing it

Redmaus · 22 Apr 2016, 07:00

Neat way to get attention for thumbnail. Imma do this with all my future sales

alh84001 · 22 Apr 2016, 07:20

Do you have spare mannequins lying around?

I'm having a hard time buying "near-mint." The cable is very conspicuously not at all mint. Maybe the rest of the keyboard is nicer than it looks. It could just be the amateur sex tape lighting that makes it look grimy.

zuglufttier · 22 Apr 2016, 13:01

It's near-mint vintage: Not enough dirt and yellowing to be truly vintage.

Look at the dust and hair under the caps and the dirt on the keycaps. The caps look shiny too, though it's hard to say for sure. Just because it's not yellow doesn't mean it's not dirty. If this is near-mint I'm Alexander the Great.

ohaimark · 22 Apr 2016, 15:42

I'm with you on that one, Chyros. No way in Hell is that near mint.

Edit: Seeing eBay sellers attempting to emulate my listings is like watching a child imitating a parent. They're sloppy, uneducated, and painfully awkward.

Congrats to ramnes for winning a nice board.

Let's hope it turns out to be nice.

Postaroo. Sorry.

alh84001 · 22 Apr 2016, 18:35

Maybe you should edit your posts until it is shipped. Luckily it's in that other layout I am less fond of so I'm not heartbroken. Much

Is it blue?

And if you paid what I'm seeing for postage, you got ripped off!

It had a BIN of $175...I refreshed the page and someone bid.

People really don't know how to eBay...

Wow... I think I saw a brick earlier that was smarter than the guy that placed the bid
