How much have you spent total on keyboards?
« on: Sun, 21 September 2014, 15:52:44 »
Title. This includes keycap, switches, leds, cases, switches, etc.
As a noob I have only spent 280 on 2 clear pokers.

LOL.  Most of the big spenders don't even know.  I for one have absolutely no clue how much I've spent, and I don't particularly care to know that.  :))  Hahaha.

I certainly hope that I am well below that.

Monies recouped in resales count toward bringing down the "spent" total, don't they?
"It turns out that for a decade, whenever Trump wanted to get a loan, or make a deal, he would inflate the value of his real estate. For instance, suggesting that his 11,000-square foot penthouse was a 30,000-square foot penthouse.

It was all part of a very sophisticated real estate practice known as “lying.”

there are some exceptions, but $1-$2 per post is the average

Yeah, some of them aren't really the exception for their spending, but for their big mouth. Like tp4: can't stop running his mouth, so he can never spend enough to keep up.

Hrm, well, not subtracting the amount recouped from sales, I've spent.. a little over $800 for FC660C (sold), HHKB Type-S, a cool clack that might come in sometime this coming week, and a couple of OEM keyboards. D=
But luckily I've sold almost everything other than my HHKB and one Cherry board.

Realistically, I am trying to wind down.

My "Naked 122" has been my primary board for a year or more, and I do not see that changing. Sure, I have rotated a couple of dozen others onto my desk for a few minutes or hours or days, and I am typing on one of my backup Model F-122s even now, but that is the exception rather than the rule.

During the past year, I have completed my 2 of my 3 primary "end-game" projects: blue Alps transplanted into a Northgate Omnikey 101 and a Filco Zero. Remaining is converting my Model F AT to near-ANSI adding Alt keys and internal Teensy.

I have a couple of immaculate fully-modded F-122s and a couple of primo Model Ms. If I ever manage to stumble across a reasonably-priced SSK at a time that I have the money in my pocket, I will buy it, and that will probably complete my IBM buckling spring collection. Likewise if I was ever able to acquire a Kingsaver, but I have pretty well written that off.

And I have at least a dozen keyboards, with various odd switches that I really like, in "deep storage" in boxes in the basement.

Beyond that, I have a big pile of stuff that I need to sell off and get out of the house. But I keep accumulating more junk because I can't resist interesting 2nd-hand gear that is cheap.

Whatever. It is what it is.

Hmm, so I've bought a lot of stuff, but I've also sold a lot of stuff... In total last time I checked (~3 months ago) I had spent $7.5k, but obviously I didn't have keyboard stuff for that much money as I had sold a lot of things. Now I'm probably over $10k, but I'm not sure how much my current stuff is worth... maybe $4-5k.

Couple of grand. Hard to tell really because I tend to sell most stuff that I no longer use. I've probably got well over $500 worth of Cherry caps alone though and then if I start adding all the keyboards and parts for future builds it adds up pretty quick.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Yeah, a few sets of GMK along with all the extra packs for odd layouts is already a couple hundred bucks.  :-X  Hunting down some Korean boards was also quite expensive.

And me - I don't want to know how much I've spent!

Thank goodness someone knows how to search! I'm sure I've posted in one of those threads.

unfortunately collecting vintage has me racked up at $3k in my sub alone
just about $5.5k total, including gbs, alu cases, modern keyboards, one basic custom, and uno 360corsa apple silver (kek), and ibm boards, and all the ****ty stuff when you are first starting out

I'm glad I got over that phase early. Used to pick up all kinds of weird boards off eBay but now I don't even bother looking as I'm only interested in boards I can actually use daily.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I think the going rate is at least a $1 per post.

You spent at least $23,000?

Is this true? Do you buy one of every keyboard model?
