How much is my keyboard worth?
« on: Wed, 14 July 2021, 22:22:42 »
So, I'm looking to upgrade boards, but in order to do that I need to sell my old keyboard. It is a white gk61 with tealios v2, lubed with krytox 205g0 and filmed with deskeys films. I also used foam to get rid of the ping. I have the PBT Caribbean Keycaps (on KBD for $60 new), how much should I sell it for?

If it’s not limited and is always in stock and gettable. Sell at cost

Fixed that below you.


"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

I'm with Fohat.
Why is anyone going to pay full price for something they can easily buy new, with better, faster shipping, without risk, and pick and choose the exact parts they want? You lubed it? You foamed it? So? Just like on a used car, you don't pay for someone else's choices/mods, those are either a bonus or a liability.

If it was me, I'd start at 70-80% (or best offer) of what you spent, not counting mods, and expect to actually get 50-80% depending on what it is exactly.

I think that with most off the shelf consumer products, adding 'mods' rarely adds any resale value.
