Just for everyone's information, this was purchased for $150+shipping from Cindy, elecplus on DT in the past few weeks.

Nothing against you personally Elocutive, I just think people should know what they're bidding for - A keyboard that was sold for an incredibly reasonable price by someone who's helped the community immeasurably by finding (literal) tonnes of very rare IBM boards and sold them for very good prices.

[RetailMeNot]

Why do you insist on trying to make a profit on everything people are nice enough to sell you?

[rowdy]

I'd love an SSK, and $150 or thereabouts is about the price I can afford.

This one has a sensible starting price, but I could understand if it goes much higher, given the desirability of the SSK.

In short, OP's self portrait:




Same BS happens with Clacks and other things.  This is why we can't have nice things.


And hidden original gif hidden because it has a swear word.  ****ing swear filter and puritanical rules.

Heh, no one bid.  I shoulda snagged it for 50.  I would give it plenty of love.

I think OP pulled the listing since I seem to remember it having 6 days left yesterday.

Well said. Wondering how many of Cindys loot will end on Ebay.

I am waiting for mine

Hahaha, he was going to use it alright. To make money.

[nubbinator]

He's not the only one talking about resale in that thread.  It makes me sad to see people rush to buy at a good price knowing that they will try to immediately flip for profit when there are others who want to use it.

Man, that is a shame. I'd love to snag one at a decent price. I am SSK-less

Same here.

[iamtootallforthis]

I just want a BS board and the SSK would be awesome.

[kalrand]

I hope Unicomp drops their SSK model tomorrow and just crushes everyone who got those from Cindy to resell...

[Touch_It]

I hope Unicomp drops their SSK model tomorrow and just crushes everyone who got those from Cindy to resell...

i hope it comes out tomorrow as well but I don't think It would crush anyone as they would still be collectable, unicomp layout would be different if pics I saw are true,  and the price was still great on them regardless.

Still think it sucks some  people bought them just to resell though.

The board has been sold to bro caps for 218 shipped.

It is theoretically possible their delay in releasing it is tied to them going back to the classic SSK layout and not the one they had in the announcement.

Hope so,  I thought the layout was terrible.

I believe that was part of the problem.  However, I believe they will go back to the classic layout.  *WEG*

Yes plz!

Is that the final version? Interested to see more pics of the case (sides, front, bottom, etc).

There was a huge thread on DT where the person who created those renders was talking about it.  He wasn't officially working with Unicomp as far as he revealed, but was great at making renders.  The new layout "SSK" is a render of his.

Let's see if I can find the thread...

Nice. I didn't think Unicomp was actually going to go through with them.

[madhias]

This one?

Can anyone be a saint and sell me one for $150 + Shipping too.

Cindy on DT sent me a message today saying there was one left and asked me if I wanted it. I had to decline, unfortunately, because I couldn't afford it. It's probably been sold to someone else by now though.

Edit: She hasn't sold it yet, but she's still going down her list of people who want it.

[Evrycard]

How do I get on her list? Could you plz link it here?
Thx...

What a great idea that is!

[fohat.digs]

I got on of those, a 1991 beige label, and although it was new-in-box, almost half of the rivets were broken.

Keep that in mind if you are planning to keep it sealed up for re-sale, or for the apocalypse.

Also, they come without cables.
