Price Check: How much is my _____ worth?

HiI was hoping you guys could give me your opinion on how much my Model M is worth. Works fine. Keycaps on some of the keys are missing, see pictures:

I guess they hated Mondays as well back then

Any thoughts about the value, ripster?

tfuq happened... german caps on the few spots that have any on the numpad, none on the whole right half....?
But it IS an ANSI layout one!

back to topic pls XD
can anyone give me an estimate of the price of my Model M please?

Icarium · 28 Jun 2012, 16:08

I'd say in that condition maybe 25-30.

Azrael · 28 Jun 2012, 16:40

thanks for the estimation

on ebay.de they release ~50€ working, non cracked. However I understand where you're coming from.

I wouldn't pay that much for it. To get keycaps it will cost you quite a bit. You can get a 'M in very good condition for around 50.

That Ortek is worth at least Five Grand.

Awesome. In that case anyone want to trade for a measly HHKB?

How much do the RGBY modifier keys cost? the doubleshot ones by hash

didja · 29 Jun 2012, 05:23

The Ortek MCK-84's I sold a year or two ago went for between $90 and $225. Some buyers bought multiple and the price was adjusted accordingly. They were a mix of ISO and some like yours above that were ANSI w/vertical enter key, an uncommon combo that I enjoyed using. If it were quieter I'd use it a lot more.
Mine were used by NBC during the Olympics, I believe at ticketing kiosks or entry points, hence the port on the back for connecting a barcode scanner to scan tickets or security badges.

I picked up a set (without an Esc key) for about $40 a couple of months ago.

didja's, Is there a version that has the window keys like yours and oyecomova, but with ISO key in it? I've only seen pics of the ISO version with no window keys...

Hey guys, I am a defector from GH. I wasn't a member there very long and wasn't aware of all the problems the site was having... oh well. Anyway, what do you guys think a new and complete set of oem Steelseries 6Gv2 keys is worth? Not expecting much... maybe worth a PBT 37 key set in a trade?

Thanks.

ripster · 29 Jun 2012, 22:18

Welcome to DT!

I dunno, those keys don't have a good rep.

Nonono... far simpler... it's for a numpad!

edit: possibly this one might be compatible (I reckon that connector isn't a DB9, despite what they say). The styling doesn't match though...
