Looks like the Aula keyboards shipping information was incorrect as it went from 1-5 USD to 13-17 USD to ship them. Hope some of you were lucky enough to order them before they went up!

They are still the two cheapest listings for either of those keyboards.

Post updated with new pricing for the Aula keyboards. Original seller has been cranking up the shipping price on their keyboards for some reason and it is no longer reasonable to buy from them.

Ended up selling for 120 

Don't mind posts of budget sales, but would probably be better to just keep this thread about regularly available boards that are priced at or below 60 new.

Edit: Added the Rosewill RK-6000 and Tellervision white alps keyboard!
