Phenix · 25 Feb 2017, 17:22

maybe 5€ for mx black springs?
Considering g80-1800 go for 3-5€+shipping..

So not that much

About the topre pine green keycaps, I have the two shifts ISO, enter, esc, alt and ctrl keys. Bought them for 30 bux on GH. I was told they come from a Finland shop who had them made by topre some years ago.

Great, thanks for the info.

It's the only colored ISO shift made by topre that I know of! Pretty I say. Now there is yellow too. I was thinking that I missed some of the keys in my set like the caps lock backspace etc... But I really never saw those keycaps anywhere...

Puree · 26 Feb 2017, 15:39

Got this set for years now, don't know really where it comes from...

I'll be selling those soon.

Does anyone here perhaps have an idea of what an unmodified IBM Model F XT keyboard should cost these days?

ohaimark · 04 Mar 2017, 19:26

In Europe? I'd say between 50 and 75 Euros depending on condition, but I could be wrong. Prices tend to be lower in the US.

mik · 04 Mar 2017, 19:38

Thank you and yes, I'm in Europe. I was bidding on a complete 5160 machine and I'm as much interested in the machine itself as I'm in the keyboard. However, the price has gone up quite high already, a little over 150 euros.

Chyros · 04 Mar 2017, 20:12

I'd say $80 is about the maximum you would pay for one.

mik · 04 Mar 2017, 20:31

The pc or the keyboard?

Scarpia · 05 Mar 2017, 11:01

He means for the keyboard only. You'll find IBM F XT keyboards in Europe for around $75 fairly regularly. Occasionally as low as $40-50, but you shouldn't have to pay any more than $80 for one.

As for what the complete machine is worth -- no idea. You'd have to ask on the vintage computer forum or an IBM luggables enthusiast. I would not touch it at 150 euros, since the shipping adds another ton of money and reselling the machine sans keyboard would never cover it.

What should I expect to pay for a G80-11800 with thin PBT in about average condition?

Haha you might also want to ask what IBM 122's are worth! Of course with the old-logo Dell AT101s it depends on the condition.

Probably 75$ to 100$ for the salmon alps ones, and like 30$ for the black alps ones

Do try to sell the M122s here first, some people (myself included) might be interested.

Hello guys, I have a question about a keyboard i'd like to sell...

Here's an album of the picture i took of it : http://imgur.com/a/CU9oI

I know that brand new they cost A LOT (295£).

Pffff, that's pretty rich I think. I'd put it closer to $100.

The Focus FK9000 is rareish, I'd say well over $100 if it is indeed new in box. In fact it might be difficult to estimate since they don't show that often especially not NIB. Let's say $175. Got any pics taylorswiftttttt?

No, because my phone camera won't focus (rip). The keyboard itself is a little dirty but it could be cleaned easily. The packaging was complete and in very good condition

OK thanks for the info. I still say it's worth well more than $100.

This price is crazy, right? $4.80 +shipping for an amber alps switch. I mean it's crazy!

..right?

To a "collector," I doubt that it's worth very much. I truly don't know for sure.

But to someone who has lost the use of their right hand, this keyboard could be very valuable. If it were my keyboard, I would contact veteran organizations to see if they could help find a home for it. Or check with other organizations that help folks with special needs. Local schools might be a good place to start.

Also, here in the US, charitable donations such as this are tax deductible and maybe that's true of your country?

This keyboard could help someone out there, and either they or a charitable organization that helps them would probably like to talk to you.

I'll try to sell it for 220€ or even less...

Well, in France, we don't have that side of "veterans", it's not it doesn't exist it's just that it's not as popular. I can maybe contact an Hospital or something like that...
I'll try to contact an association with handicaped persons or something like that.

I don't think there's this in France :/

Yes, i'll try to help someone !
