You first decide on the maximum price you are ready to pay (including shipping and other costs if any, of course), and then you fire your maximum bid just in time for it to register but too late for others to react.

Snipers are always on the winning side:
either they get the item within their price range, or it sells for more than they wanted to pay.

This. Decide early what the max is you're willing to pay and close to the end of the auction submit it.

Yeah I use Gixen for sniping, been using them for years and even bought their premium plan for like $7/year (has saved me way more than that over the years).

This is apparently the actual prop they used on "The Office". Any Dwight Schrute fans on DT?

Jim's Keyboard is on here as well: https://auction.screenbid.com/view-auct ... osed%3Dyes

In fact, probably every cast member's keyboard is on here!

big office fan, sadly not a big tvshow prop fan. everything on this site is pretty cool though

I'm actually rewatching the Office again right now, but $600 for a rubber dome keyboard? No thanks. I know it's a movie prop and all, but I don't find it that interesting.

I know right? I'd much rather buy the keyboard the doctor in Fight Club uses. At least that was an Unsaver :p .

Those were up for sale before. Something must have happened with the transaction.

I have one of those I was eventually going to list, but if anyone wants for $150 with free USA shipping, PM me. Mine does need a retrobrite though. Kind of hard to tell from the white balance whether the one up for auction there also is a bit yellowed.

zrrion · 29 Sep 2018, 17:26

Does the one you have use SKCC Green?

A little more info here, but not much. Not a bad layout really. https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyb ... _keyboard/

If I hadn't just put in for an F77 from Ellipse ...

IBM 3101 beamspring- https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-IBM-Be ... Swty5br7fT

Love the IBM badge

It will be interesting to see what it goes for. This model seems to be a bit more rare vs 3278 and 5251.

Email notification said it sold for €3.5k but listing says €5k. Regardless, it sold much higher than I expected to. Must be a record.

I am collecting Beam Spring boards and based in Germany, but even 3.5k is way beyond a reasonable price, imho.

Just saw this come up a few minutes ago. Nice looking board, though I am not sure what type of switches it would have. Looks to have a metal case.

Its a Honeywell hall effect keyboard. It has the tell tale bent spacebar and flat top 3.
