Great/Interesting Finds

[hammelgammler]

Wow that's a great deal on the beamspring! And the text said it's even new. Have fun with it.

[tentator]

Muuuch yeah! I think the slot on the back of the caps seems to be engineerd for a put once and don't remove it anymore concept.. but I do not own any beamspring (yet.. )) to test nut I think that the shape of them is not the same.. they're more oval on the top I think.. d I'd someone already play with this?

[tentator]

btw have someone noticed this:

Well someone got an insanely low price on that! Hope it's someone who can appreciate it! More and more Beamsprings, 2016 is the year of the Beamspring. Also that one was apparently "new".

I got it and I'm surprised at the price I got myself (my max bid was 80€). It does seem to be in pretty good nick: no shine on the keycaps, from what I saw with the few caps I pulled, the contamination shield seems to be still intact.

Now I'll have to get my hands on a xwhatsit Beamspring controller…

Great jou! You see: now I have even more motivation to organize a Swiss keyboard meet up soon !
Some thing you just need to try out to decide before you invest on it right?

[ramnes]

Jou, you got an awesome deal here. Congratz!

[seebart]

That was THE find of the century, no one will ever match that, ever. If we had a top ten of great finds / buys that is the number one by far.

I may have come close. I paid $5.00 Canadian for my DIsplaywriter keyboard right around when I took the pictures and was why I left the price tag on it But... I'd still pay 10 Euros for jou's keyboard and call it a better deal. I am still on the lookout for one of those.

[seebart]

Yeah that's no.2 on the top ten list then. I forgot about that one snuci.

You guys have no idea what prices for vintage keyboards looked like before you all jumped in

[Muirium]

Sure we do!

[kbdfr]

Yes, that was the estimated value of vintage keyboards
When listed on eBay, they usually sold for the starting price, which most of the time was 1€

I don't know what you're talking about :p .

I know exactly what you are talking about. Just about what Chyros "pays" for his now or less which is nothing.

Current GREEDebay prices = 1000000.0000000 % inflation.

Yep. Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian..., in one word Ex-YU or South Slavic - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTZ#South_Slavic_Latin

I'm gonna have to fight for my first taste of OG cherry doubleshots

[photekq]

Eh, you probably won't have to fight much. I'm not bidding over their market value (including shipping).
