Price Check: How much is my _____ worth?

Old Logo Dell branded Model M

Let's assume with replacement keycaps. I'm just not quite sure how sought after that logo is on a model M.

Just curious as to how much this could be worth? I found this last year thinking it was a normal G80-3000 HFMGB but realised it was actually a HEMGB when I got it home (MX Clears

).

Unfortunately, the alphas are shiny & it seems to have been exposed to UV throughout it's life as the tops of the caps are yellowing and have a slight yellow gradient down the sides (red circle, last image). The previous owner also seems to have made the case shiny in particular areas (green circle) & also dinked most of the corners on the bottom row caps

.

Alpha shine:

Yellowing faces/sides:

The last two Wang 725-3370's that were sold on Ebay went for US$125 and US$150. I managed to snag one minus the keycaps for $40 shipped a while back but now I have to source some keycaps.

What about an NIB ANSI 725-3370 with I think black alps (can't remember now, but I'm sure they're not salmon).

How much is a IBM 3101 in this condition worth?

I think showing the inside is more important here since that's where the key feel lays.You can repaint the case anyway.

Yeah, you're right. Here are some pics of the inside: https://imgur.com/a/jZz4YBv

This is the tightest and best feeling beamspring I have, but I just don't have the time to restore it.

The rust on that poor plate! I bet those springs and stems have enough rust that they've likely leaked the rust onto the housing plastic. This was something I had to deal with in restoring my 3101s so far. My advice, this thing needs the restoration even if it feels nice and tight. And if you don't have the time, well, I guess other people would, which is why you might be looking to sell. Anyways, I've seen unrestored 3101s going from around $750-$1000 or so depending on condition. Yours doesn't look so hot visually, but this of course does not mean all is lost. Uh, I may have a spare 3101 case in better condition than yours, if your interested. PM if this might be of interest. Edit: just saw you live in Scotland and I USA, shipping may make this prohibitive.

Probably a $1000 at auction on ebay, I've been looking for one of these. Best of luck selling/trading it!

I just recently bought a 3101 on ebay in much better condition for ~$850, So in that rough condition, I would say it's worth less. The plate inside is looking pretty grim, unfortunately. If you did the restore yourself, you could get much more. That obviously costs extra time and money of your own. I enjoy the restore part. It's half the fun. Best of luck.

Unicomp just sold a handful of them in NIB condition for Black Friday. I don't remember the exact price, but it was under $100, I believe. Granted that was a promotion to give Unicomp some good buzz. I imagine they are still quite rare. You could probably get more than that. Not sure if that's helpful, haha.

I think 250 to 300€. For the Dytcom, I had one with Taiwan Jet Axis and I ended up desoldering the switches and selling the keyboard to a friend because nobody wanted it, even at 35€...
With vintage MX Black it should be worth a bit more than the value of the switches, I'd try with 60€.

Put it on Flebay and see how you go

.

Although posting it now near Christmas would be futile, at least wait till the New Year when the fanatics restock their wallets.

Beautiful! Shame about that keycap. What's the condition of the switches?

kelvinhall05 · 07 Jan 2020, 17:56

How much is a Zenith Z150 AT with a 9/10 plate, 9/10 top case (slightly yellowed), 7-8/10 bottom case (metal part), 8/10 doubleshot keycaps (yellowed), and 6-7/10 green Alps worth? Works great.

EDIT: I have restored this board and will probably retrobright it when it gets warm enough outside. Let's assume the board is overall a 9/10 and the switches are a 6-7/10.

How much are 128 brand-new (albeit desodered from a board) MX blacks worth? The board is from the Windows 2000/XP era.

kelvinhall05 · 05 Feb 2020, 16:42

How much is an Omnikey Ultra with the original cable worth?

Board is 9/10, but it's yellowed. Very, very clean otherwise. Switches have been opened and given a Chyros "soft clean" (dust housings, sliders, wash click leaves/springs) and are now a 9-9.5/10. Keycaps are also in good shape, but also yellowed, also 9/10. Plate is an 8.5/10, pretty clean but has a few tiny rust dots as do most boards from this era. Has genuine white Alps, not clones. All switches work.
