I want to buy it but I'm hesitant to throw out a value.. To be quite honest I've got no clue what it's worth. I don't know of anything even similar that's sold recently that I can compare it to. If I really had to throw out a figure I'd say somewhere around $100-150. I say this because it's :

• Rare as hell
• Unique colour scheme, especially that top row
• The layout is less than fortunate
• I would guess that it's unusable unless some serious modification went into it, so it's mostly just a collectors piece

But that really is just a figure. I would love to hear the opinions of others; perhaps kbdfr, as he has an eye for oddboards (yes, that's a pun) like this one

This isn't specifically keyboard related, but how much for a great condition Hakko FX-888D? Nothing wrong with it but I just bought a digital Aoyue desoldering station that comes with an iron too.

Fry's sells the iron (with a single tip) new for $99.

They're worth a bit more in Europe. But, alas, the American version doesn't work on our exotic 240 volts. It's meant for North America and Japan only.

Reminder pic: The way I would quote such unique things is: for how much would I accept to let it go if it were mine?
In this case I would certainly waive anything under 150€ - but of course that is a highly personal criterion.
Sorry, photekq

Would appreciate a price on this granite set (first batch) :

* Base set
* Text modifiers
* ISO enter (blank)
* International kit
* 6.25u + 7u spacebar
* Numpad set
* Colored WASD set

Same as I paid?

I'd pay something like 100-120 for that TA, probably just for harvesting things, switches, alpha caps, and maybe the whole part to make a custom nav+num board :/

I feel bad for those nice rare vintage boards to fall into my hands (if there're ever be one) though

You seem to be the kind of guy who would consider buying the Eiffel Tower in order to recycle all that metal

With that metal case the board is just asking to be converted to usb and used as is :3

Thanks kbdfr, photekq and bazh for opinions (though remind me not to sell it to you though bazh because I would be heartbroken to see it destroyed... ). I'll probably sell it quite soon as I need cash for my F62...

@lolpes exactly! The metal case is amazing. It's a nice, big chunky thing.

What would be the value of this Epson PX-8 in almost mint condition? I think the switches are Hirose Cherry M8, but i'm not 100% sure:

Do these keycaps fit the cherry MX switch? They sure seem to look like the MX stem...

yeah, they're hirose and they work on mx. I have a set from a label printer. nice find, will keep my eyes out for one of those.

Hypothetically, what would a GH60 with Nixies be worth? Assume whatever layout with no caps/case for now, so just PCB and switches.

$250 ish I reckon. Nixies aren't worth what they used to be..

That's given me something to think about then...thanks dude.

ANSI doubleshots from a cherry g80-3000? For the windows-key version. are there any sets with that don't have the off-center spacebar?

hw much is this g80-1000 worth?

Hey guys, anyone know what a regular SSK in good shape goes for at the moment?

Do you have a picture of the other side of the keycaps in that little bag?

I would say it's worth about $100-125. I want it but I have no money at the moment.

Hi, I am going to sell a working MO188 from Apple, don´t think it has orange keys. Do you think 19€ is to much?

If it doesn't have orange Alps, it'll have Salmon Alps, also highly rated. Provided it's not dirty €19 is quite reasonable .

Does anyone know about how much a Corsair K70 RGB with MX Blue switches would go for these days? I bought it a year ago before they went out of production, but have never really cared for MX Blues. It's spent the vast majority of its life in its box.

What would you pay for a Displaywriter Beam Spring, if I decided to sell mine?

I bid £10 .

Asking to see what people would pay for a G80-1800 HAU with the following specs:

K42 date code for PCB
original case, I'd give it an 8.5/10 condition, a few marks on the top portion but no yellowing, feet work great.
62g uniform vintage blacks and linear grey (these were swapped from an older, and broken 1800)
Krytox lubed
like new og doubleshots (only factory shine from what I can see)

(I am not selling, just wondering how much $ I may or may not have lost - I spent about $200 for everything; 2 boards 1 with keycaps and one without)


Also, any idea what a G81-1800 case would go for?

What would be a fair price for a Model f AT, DE layout, good conditions?
I've seen some outrageous prices on ebay. it looks like prices have skyrocketed.

Fair DT price? $70 for a tested board in passable condition.

Fair eBay price? $70 - $150. It depends on how many are listed at once -- there were 3 on there a couple months ago. Each went for about $80 if I remember right. If there's only one listed prices go higher. Gotta love supply and demand.

Can you help me identify this keyboard?

You're in the wrong thread but interesting keyboard. Wondering if it's buckling spring.
