Both of my F107s from Orihalcon, with Xwhatsits installed, were less than $250 each shipped. He prices them by the condition they are in and the nicer-looking one was in comparable condition to the one in that listing.
It's a fun keyboard. HIGHLY recommend!
This is my listing. I appreciate the feedback, and I actually was unaware that the ones orihalcon sold came with xwhatsits already. I couldn't find them under 'sold listings' when I was determining a price for this. As it is I'm losing money on this keyboard since shipping something so heavy down here is painfully expensive, but if it doesn't sell at this price I will lower it to 250.
I didn't mean to step on your toes like that. I've gotten a lot of great stuff from Orihalcon and he's done a lot for the vintage mech keyboard community over the years. He's had these F107s for a long time now (there was a listing on the Geekhack market that he would bump back to the top) and I wanted to help him find good homes for them.
But he's in the US and you're in Australia. Considering the shipping costs and scarcity of these things, a US seller's price probably shouldn't affect your price. If I was in Australia and knew about these keyboards like I do now (I had originally contacted Orihalcon to inquire about any F122s and he literally had to talk me into an F107), I would purchase from you.
These are great keyboards (typing on one of my F107s right now!) and they are rarer than most of the other Model Fs. They will be much harder to find in the coming years, and you'll be able to sell yours for almost whatever price you want to sell it for.
