Not a price check but do you know what type of key caps these are? Are they Cherry switch compatible. I really like it.

This would have been a good question for the simple questions, simple answers thread.
Those are Round 4 SPH caps, yes, they are Cherry compatible, but some mods have the the wrong size, more info here or in the keycap color scheme archive.

I can't really say how rare they are, they were from a recent group buy by 7bit on DT. Your best bet are the classifieds, emptythecache recently sold a TKL set for 80$.

Used?  No more than $60.  QFRs routinely go on sale for $50-70 shipped.  The only one that can command a premium is a QFR with Greens.

How much for a PLU ML-87 TKL with MX Reds? It works but is not of the best quality in terms of typing. I would plan on advertising it as a "parts" board with a case and switches that are prime for harvesting.

I've seen them for $50 and I've seen them for $150.  Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $50 shipped for any Clack, but there's been an influx of newbies who have driven the prices up and people who have decided to monopolize on that naivete to get unprecedented Clack prices.  Right now you probably wouldn't find someone willing to part with one for under $100 unless they're someone who doesn't sell stuff at a profit.

"plate mount vintage blacks" ?

By which I mean, the keyswitches in my WYSE-150 keyboard whose PCB clearly says 1985. Yes, this keyboard was being pounded on by unsupervised monkeys for most of it's life but it's a working pull so all the keyswitches (except the two I broke in my haste) should be good. I just don't really care about linear keyswitches.

Yeah if your soldering skills are up to scratch that sounds fair.

Does anyone know the going price for a Revenge red or a similar colour skull click clack would go for? Topre key cap also.

Historically, they were going for around $70.  More recently Clacks have been going for obscene prices.

how much is 60x mx brown that desolder out from a poker II? is $0.30 for 1 switch a reasonable price?

Very reasonable price.

Considering that I think you can still get them new for $0.65 a few places, ebay $2.50/ea notwithstanding, and that it's looking like browns will be the next very-scarce MX switch, I'd say that's probably well into the generous end of reasonable. In other words, yes a good price but you could probably hold out for thirty five or forty cents each and still sell them all. ($18 for your suggested price, $21/$24 for my interpretations. Someone more experienced in current demand feel free to correct me)

 I suppose I could use the same logic for my half-finished desoldering job retrieving vintage blacks, but they're vintage, man ... that throws a kink into my calculations of the switches I have. So Can I politely bump my question that got drowned in the multi-quote of the same quote ... what do vintage blacks go for nowadays ?

I don't think that browns will get scarce. Clears got scarce because everyone was getting into them. There is no such raise in demand for browns.

Whiskytango sold his for 0.25$ a piece and added some extra ones for possible defects. With a bit of luck it is quite easy to get an old board on ebay for cheap and harvest the switches from there, so keep that in mind. I think for 0.40$ they should sell.

Steelseries isn't a very sought after board so I agree with kenmai9. Maybe $60 to the right buyer and you would have better luck on Ebay.

On the IBM Model F XT you should be able to sell that for around $50 in really good condition. $40 if you want to sell it fast.

This doesn't include shipping cost though.
