Wow, I honestly thought this would go higher. To me this is like the corvette of keyboards with the curves it has.

Yeah tbh I thought it would go higher as well.

I wonder if all of the buyers will actually pay the invoice.

Why wouldn't they? Their bids would have been even higher than the final price. Unless they were all troll bids I guess.

wow, well good for zambumon. for all the quality projects he's worked on and is working on i'd say the extra compensation is deserved. can't help but wonder what the most expensive bid was though  :eek:

Because if you basically wanted to guarantee yourself a spot, you would bid something high like $2,000 and then you could wait and see what the final price was and make a decision.

This type of auction doesn't work if people that bid can back out.

I guess, although he did say he would reject bids so maybe he excluded exorbitant offers like that for exactly that reason. Still, crazy expensive (about $350 too high IMO) and I also wonder if anyone will back out.

All the winners will pay 750, right? Regardless of their bet?

I got lucky and saved myself $600 :) no way I'm paying $750 for a keyboard.

Ditto.

Thanks for sharing the results! It's obvious there's still plenty of demand above your original estimated price. Are you planning to have more made and hold more auctions based on this?

I have no plans to make anything else by myself until all the boards I already have are sold. Like I said on the OP, I like the idea of people knowing exactly what they'll get.

 Many of the boards that I have will require me to powder coat them due to top/bottom color mismatch or external anodization issues.

No dude.


Only top 8 bids get picked. The guy that bid $750 didn't get an option to purchase.
