Interesting, certainly.

Ten keyboards in a box. $60 for each keyboard ... whatever it is
- No guarantee what you'll get: foam-and-foil (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Wang_725-3488), Alps (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Wang_725-3770) or maybe one of the rubber domes, perhaps.
- No guarantee that more than two keyboards will have a complete keycap set.
- No guarantee that any keyboard will work.

Not worth it ...

... But do make a note of the seller, and check back in a month or two to see if he has lowered the asking price.

On the plus side, just the mention of Wangs presents opportunities for "wang" jokes, so that's good.
