It is a vintage cherry numpad. with that price we can get a new cherry doubleshot keyboard. The ebay sellers have become bolder and bolder. Get any crap and put a high enough price, if sells good laugh to the bank else drop price by 10%. Rinse and repeat.

Price very high, then drop 10% per week, is the best way to ensure that you get the maximum price for your item, unless it happens to spark a bidding war.

ebay wants you to start low in order for buyers to have a shot at bargains, but if you are a seller, you need a totally different mindset.

"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.”"

It reminds me of the keypad they have at the postal sorting facilities to key in zip codes, Not 100% sure on that thought.

It's a very old probably M7 switch unit. The really old stuff like this is a lot harder to come across especially in fine condition, though it is not really that interesting... and the pcb slot connector make is really difficult to make use of.
Now one that is very interesting an hex programming interface, but has an insane pricing LOL...

These things are often custom-jobs for CNC-machines costing tens or hundreds of thousands,
so the pricing doesn't necessarily reflect the 'real' value of the components on the PCB ..
