Price Check: How much is my _____ worth?

Icarium · 06 Nov 2022, 09:45

122-key Battleship Model F, not sure if it works because it has a stupid connector.

Muirium · 06 Nov 2022, 10:05

30-50.

fohat · 06 Nov 2022, 15:08

It is nice to see a clean simple complete set on the top.

AnnoyedWalrus · 06 Nov 2022, 15:26

I do love the german text. Are you planning to sell it on DT?

Icarium · 06 Nov 2022, 17:56

I'm happy to sell it here but I feel like 30-50 is maybe not a great offer.

One sold in Germany last week for 1200EUR. I think one or two others sold for a fair bit more a while ago, but the listings have disappeared.

do you maybe have a link to the auction? can't find it

It was on kleinanzeigen and I'm the buyer.

Nice… are you happy with it so far? How was the condition for that price?

For 30 each I'd gladly take ten

They usually go for somewhere between 400€ and 600€, and the condition here seems great!

Nice to see you around snoopy

I still haven't forgotten that G80-1501HAD I bought from you years ago, my first G80.

By the way, I think that 1200EUR sale was on the low end of things, as far as current Unsaver prices go.

Muirium · 10 Nov 2022, 19:22

Snoopy popped your Cherry? He has much to answer for!

Icarium · 11 Nov 2022, 17:06

So, I have these 79 orange alps switches as advertised in that thread over there...

What would be a reasonable price for those?

Muirium · 11 Nov 2022, 20:20

About 1/4 the blues next to them, I’d wager. Oranges are so so. Blues are the apex Alps. I’ve had both. Sold all my oranges, kept all my blues. Fwiw.

Also depends on condition, of course.

I'd say atleast 1€ per switch

But what are the blues worth then?

Just within the last month, have seen them for anything between $1.59 a piece to $5.50 a piece.

Blues are around 1,8€ per switch
But it also depends on the Switchplate.
For example grey Switchplate I'd say at least 2,2€ and then there are white Switchplate for 1,8€
Haven't seen any with black Switchplates but this I wouldn't sell for less then 3€
But those are judt my numbers, if anyone thinks differently let me know.

I've got an Acer KB-102AS with blue alps lying around, board is in overall pretty good condition. Anyone know what I could expect to sell it for if I decide to do so?

Icarium · 25 Nov 2022, 09:07

Similar, I would like to know what to ask for this:

And would it be better to desolder the switches and sell them separately?

Muirium · 25 Nov 2022, 09:48

If the switches are worth gutting the poor keyboard, why not show even one of them?

Icarium · 25 Nov 2022, 13:21

Well, I am not going to destroy it just yet. I would prefer not to.
But I can send you a picture of the closed switch still on the board.

But isn't it weird that switches are apparently more expensive than entire keyboards? Harvesting them isn't particularly hard.

the focus with blue alps sure is rare, i have one of these and if i wanted to sell it. id put a price tag of minimum 250€

Muirium · 25 Nov 2022, 15:03

I like the cursive typeface of the cute little µ. But 250 smackeroonies? I’ll leave it to the [Fry from Futurama.gif] brigade.

considering blue alps prices being 3€ a piece thats more then reasonable.

Muirium · 25 Nov 2022, 15:33

The gif kids’ money is as good as anyone else’s.

Most recent acquisition from eBay, its a JDL Topre 126-key but it does not match the models shown on the wiki:
wiki/Topre_JDL

I got it for around £200 as my first Topre and curious if it really was worth the price. Here's the picture from the listing:

Muirium · 01 Dec 2022, 10:58

£200 is probably market value for such a board. It looks a solid piece. How do you like the layout?

ArtyomTheMetroHopper · 01 Dec 2022, 12:17

With the exception of the CTRL I quite like it, especially the big enter button! May have to do some minor remapping to get it to be like ISO and depending on how I get on with the domes maybe a pad swap. Don't want to do too much modding though as I want the changes to be reversible.

BTW, does anyone re-sell keyclacks domes? For some reason the site can't ship to my address.

(love me some extreme domes)

I ordered the ultra light domes from Keyclacks about 3 weeks ago and they haven't even been shipped. After doing some reading on reddit about that website, it seems like I'm not the first one to have issues with it...

That sounds really sketchy, but perhaps they are having problems with order fulfillment in their supply chain? It would explain why I cant place an order as they are trying to sort out older ones first. Have they sent email correspondence or made a statement?
