And they're letting ALL of it go for a measly 100K (S&H notwithstanding). Kids, THIS is why you keep a detailed inventory of your stuff!

Even less if you deduce ebay fees.

Then again I question some of the warehouse seller's valuations, exhibit A: a $90 rubber-dome Dell QuietKey :shock: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-QuietKey-K ... 1120884674

Still, GLWS, I'd rather see the stock go to someone who'll keep on offering it than the landfill.

That may the first time I've seen a Tai-Hao APC-8. (I don't know if APC-8 is F-21YQ, or whether F-21YQ is a newer model, but it looks identical to the photos of APC-8 in the Tai-Hao brochure on the wiki. The current F21-7D keyboards are based ultimately on APC-8, something Felly confirmed today.)

White APC switches.

More photos to archive for the day that they're all gone from eBay.

Thanks for sharing. I offered just a little more and got one. There looks to be a other offers currently so I expect these to sell out soon.

What is the identifying mark to tell which of these have blue switches and which have white switches? I had one of the minitouch branded ones and it was white/cream alps-mount. If I could be sure these were blues, I'd probably grab one. :-)

SMK confirmed or just going by the made in Taiwan? There's another seller with a big stash of these. There were some that were made in Taiwan, with lasered caps, confirmed to be SMK. That same seller still has a bunch that have lasered caps, Hua-Jie AK switches, but the country of manufacture is not pictured. I'm wondering if there are some made in Taiwan boards with Hua-Jie AK switches.

Geez, now I feel ripped off after spending $25 on a branded SIIG Minitouch with Monterey blues. It is a delightful keyboard. Good job.

NICE!! If this one had been in Europe I'd have been all over it. That's a phenomenal price for a compact board with good mechanical switches, and Montereys are nice.

Offered $15 and was accepted. The seller probably has more than listed because mine was accepted when "1 available" was showing, so if you only see "X available" then they probably have more than that number.

Funky looking Bloomberg keyboard: http://www.ebay.de/itm/bloomberg-tastat ... 2319469604

The keycaps look a bit like SP's DCS profile, does anybody know what kind of switches this thing has?

I offered 18 bucks and was accepted — I may have gotten the last available unit, too. We shall see how Monte(r)rey switches are like. We shall also see whether my kid refrains from stealing it from me... :mrgreen:
