Price Check- What's it Worth?

[KnivesM]

It's on the high end of what I've seen them go for but not so much out of reason if it's in great condition. I think the cheats annodizing made them easy to scratch or something like that if I remember correctly so there are a lot of them with nicks and scratches(pretty sure that was the Cheat but could be wrong? anyone?).

Signed up here looking to find a Cherry MY keyboard to replace my G81-3077... but reading through the forums, I'm curious to see if my backup board is worth anything.


It's a IBM Model M 52G9658 (missing the right Alt cap).

I suspect that you could easily get $40-$50 + shipping for it. Or even easier trade it straight up for a Cherry MY.

Cool, thanks.

Looked around online and saw similar boards ranging from $40 up to $125.  Wasn't sure where this one fell in.

I have to do some more research on Cherry MY boards (G81-3xxx vs G81-8xxx); but trading it to get back behind a Cherry MY works too.

If everything is working great and it's pretty clean, I'd just get that missing Alt cap from either unicomp or get an original from clickykeyboards and then it should be worth a bit more than the normal $40-50.  I'll typically pay up to $75 shipped for a board in good condition like yours.  Because it's pretty easy to find these boards, I wouldn't expect $100 for it unless you get some sort of crazy bidding war on ebay.

I'm not really trying to sell this board, or make money off it. Bought it cheap at a thrift store a while ago as a backup.  Just kinda curious.

Since I came to Geekhack looking for Cherry MY G81's; that's really all I care about. This Model M is my backup, but if I had multiple G81's, I'd have no need for this; so I'd just as easily sell/trade it in order to get me back behind a board I like.

I always find deals on Cherry MY switch based boards.  You willing to send the M my way for some really good links?

j/k!  I actually post the links in the great finds forum.  I've gotten a numpad with my switches for $26.99 recently and there's two boards that I've linked to that are both under $50 (one is only $16 something).

Ha, I'm not married to this Model M... it's just my backup until I can get my hands on a replacement G81 & G81 backup.

Just saw your post about the G81-7000LPDUS-2 in the 'Great Finds' section. If these G81-7xxx and G81-8xxx models have Cherry MY switches and feel like my old G81-3077; I'd take any of them!  Two questions though:

• Aside from different key caps and/or slightly different layout... Are there any other differences between the G81-7xxx/8xxx series and the G81-3xxx series? 
  
• (Silly question) But since these are POS keyboards with credit card readers; will they function the same as any regular keyboards? Or will I need the software or anything extra?

I remember looking up the specs to find out what switches are in them--let me see what I can dig up.

So here's the spec sheets for the g81-7000 and 3000 series straight from Cherry.  It seems like these are indeed the same switch and keycap.

http://www.cherry.de/PDF/EN_G81-3000.pdf

The POS board will work perfectly normal in my experience.  We've used boards with cc readers for that last 10 years or so by different companies (but not these).  In fact, the keycard reader will be handy for when you need to enter in your cc for online orders, lol.  I've actually thought about having a separate keycard reader on my desk just for that purpose, lol.

WOW, thanks for the info!

I looked up one of those G81-8xxx & 7xxx boards on Cherry's site, but didn't see where it specified Cherry MY switches (everything I know I learned recently from awesome people here and from Deskthority). 

Haha, not sure I'm ready to start swiping cards and taking orders from my desktop.... but I'm definitely going pull the trigger on one of these POS G81's.  Might even get fancy and put my G81-3077 keys onto the black frame (not sure if that's in poor taste, but judging by everyone hating Cherry MY switches, I guess I can't do much more harm).  Hopefully down the line I'll find a PCB to put into my old G81-3077, but until then these seem like the perfect backup boards.

Thanks again for all the help!

The spec sheets didn't specify the MY switches, but the specs for the switches match exactly and they're from the same series and people don't like them here, lol, so I think they're MY.  Personally, I think the keycap swap may be quite nice, or even just doing the modifiers for a 'two-tone' look. 

Differences are in caps and layouts yes.  Some boards need some software to program relegendable keys and to get the card reader working.  Otherwise you'd be fine without software

Huge layout difference for sure, but I'm pretty sure the keycaps are standard size.  They usually are in these applications as people in retail are used to 'normal' keys for 'normal' functions.  I don't think this board has any relegendables, but it does allow some custom programming via Cherry's software.  My guess is the card reader just converts the tracks to normal scan codes (no driver) as every single card I've run into does just that.  POS systems are usually industry standards-based since too many drivers and whatnot makes them flaky and not as robust for 24x7 usage.

Are these the ones listed for $200 on r/mk? I think ghostjuggernaut just sold a similar set in new condition for $150. At least for me, only time I'd pay over $200 for cherry caps are for original dyesubs.

I disagree with the dyesub prices above. I think $500 for a NIB board and $250 for a good condition set is far more realistic.

In my experience yes. That said, perhaps the price I stated is out of date.. Perhaps Gateron caps have made the market fall a bit. I'm not sure. I just know that $500 was the standard price for a NIB board like a G81-3116SDU or G81-3100SAU not long ago.

Actual and old?

Knowing the last 3 letters on the model number helps.

That will tell us caps,switch,layout.

Those are the 3 that determine the price for the most part.

Hello, i'am basicaly looking for a fair price to give to some seller who are selling them locally

Like G80-3000 G80-3000LPCDE-0 / G80-3000LPCFR-2 are 80 € new what is an good price for something used / last week, i see one who was ful yellow.
Eventuel would now the price for an old g80-3000 H / L caps ( seems that they are only 2kro ) ?
For the 81/83-3000, same lasered cap, used.

So i can make them proposition.

Are the price so different with some set of caps ?

Since i was posting, 2 more post pops, i dont have specific number to give as for the moment, have only one G81-3000 LANDE .

Thanks
