$50 - not a bad price if you run a full-size or tenkeyless and want a set of double shots, though incompatible bottom row and space bar, and it comes with a stepped Caps Lock key with an off-center stem. You could make it whole using GMK add-on kits from Originative Co, or buying GMK Black Modi, though at that point you're coming in pretty close to the cost of a full GMK WoB set.

G81 switches are pretty lousy, but if they're actually doubeshot keycap models (the model number suggests they are) then this find is pretty good.

Sure the keycaps are CR with CP legends instead of CR with WS1, but they'd work great with the TKC black blanks.

Looks like they're all gone. I hope the keycaps go to good use (and aren't the thin lasered ones)
