Can I check the price range for bro caps?

They were sold for $30-$35 on techkeys and some were 1 offs
thanks any idea on the range of prices in the aftermarket?

$30-$35 ideally :/
Ideally yes, but realistically more like 60-100+ depending on the seller and the bro-bot.

Not sure about the keyboard, but around $120 for dolch+moogle is what I just paid for a set of caps.

Fair market price for complete Dolch PAC (or true G80-1813 model in 1800 style case body add a little more perhaps) keyboard $80-120, caps only $70-100, naked keyboard only $20-30 all depend on condition.

How much is worth a Cherry G80-3700HAU? It has Cherry MX Black switches, double shot keycaps (and an upper row of relegendable ones), DIN connector and a nice Cherry sticker. Not sure but I think it's a programmable one. The overall condition is pretty good for its age.

Thanks for your reply lysol. I'll check the exact revision. It's a piece of hardware we have in our university department, not interested in selling it, just knowing its real value (it has been forgotten in a drawer for ages!).

Thinking of selling my RealForce 87UB 45g (non EK edition) to pick up a new 55g that are back in stock.

I paid $310 for it back at the beginning of March. It's been used in an office environment pretty heavily for development work, and the space bar and case has a tiny bit of shine on it, but otherwise it's in flawless condition. I have all the original materials that it came with.

Is $250 a good asking price? or is that too high?

http://deskthority.net/wiki/G80-0777

If anyone happens to recall, this turned up on eBay a few weeks ago and I purchased it for whatever reason.  Since I'm not really in a position to be acquiring massive amounts of keyboards to stow away in acrylic display cases, I was wondering if anyone may be interested in purchasing it.  I did pay quite a bit for it, relatively speaking, but I'm uncertain as to its "true" value.  I'd rather not be seen as someone who purchases things to resell them, so I was just wondering what may be a fair price.

No yellowing, great condition.  I don't think there were any other examples of this board to be found, serial number 56 per the photos I added to the wiki.  Also, if anyone has any specific suggestions for information I may add to the wiki page, I'd be happy to do that.  You can probably tell from looking at the page that I didn't have much to say off the top of my head. :)

I wish I could afford that right now... I think it's worth $150-175 to a Cherry collector... could be worth a LOT more to an Amiga collector though. It's a quite rare variation of the G80-077X.

Yeah, the shipping was what really got me on it.  I figured it would probably be worth more to an Amiga collector.  Any idea where they're at?  :)

Edit: feel you on the "right now," though; just spent $1260 on my vehicle the other day ;(

a lottery is more fair than allowing people who can figure things out to figure out how to actually get in on the sales apparently

i really don't care as much about people reselling them as i do their pathetic excuses for doing so.  you would at least hope a human being would maintain awareness of what they are doing, but no such luck.  life has become trivialized:  it is too easy to live.  thus, there is no incentive to develop a consciousness which relates to an external reality -- only one which is self-serving, in the selfish defense of a useless organism whose existence cannot be justified through any rational means.

Guys, leave the dude alone, it is his keycap to do whatever he wants for it, if he wants to sell it for $300, and someone is willing to pay that, so what. It's his, I hate seeing this mentality of "I didn't get a clack but someone is trying to re-sell theirs meaning they're a bad person". You need to accept the fact that when there is something sold in limited quantities there are going to be people who buy it purely to resell it for a profit, that's just life. Does that make these people some horrible person who sould be hung by their toes and tickled to death? NO! It is their PIECE OF PLASTIC to do whatever they want to do with it. Go follow Mondo and their movie posters, those sell out in under 5 minutes each time and go up on eBay for 2x to 3x the price, sometimes before they're completely sold out, and those are pieces of paper!!!! Every sale they have, their facebook wall is full of people "Baww... I didn't get anything but people are selling them on eBay, you need to fix your system". I don't know where you people are getting this entitled mentality of "I deserve the plastic more than someone else because I wouldn't resell it right away"

Now all of you, please grow up.

You see, the fact is, we wouldn't mind if they didn't make up some lame excuse.
If they just stated plainly that they were selling it, or in this case, asking how much it would sell for, we wouldn't care so much. But instead, these resellers, more often than not, both on GH and DT, create some type of explanation why they might have to sell it. If it is a legitimate reason, it's understandable, but again, those are few and far between. I am not trying to give the man a hard time, just humbly asking him to say it like it is, that he wants the money. I mean you can tell from the pictures provided what the KeyCap looks like... so saying that you don't like the look of it is a superficial excuse.

Sorry for the rant... :\

Edit:
Here the man showed that he wanted the money↓
what can i say, im poor.
But, still in his Original Post, it states his other reasons for reselling the 'Cap. And the post hasn't been edited at all to show a change.

Because it hurts us as a community every time someone does this, that's why. We're not whining or complaining because we couldn't get one at cost, and now someone is selling for the highest bid. We are trying to keep this community free from rampant profiteering. We should be helping each other, rather than trying to make a profit off of another member, even if that member is willing to pay. Join discussions, design new ideas, create something, help noobs learn about this hobby. All of that is what this community is about. Not making a quick buck because of limited supply and high demand.

His original post, with one small part bolded.

Hey guys
have here a Clack Factory Candy Corn Skull Keycap for Cherry MX, bought it and i dont really like how it looks on my keyboard.
what sort of price would it see on GH at auction?

From what I've seen it doesen't matter if people come up with a lame excuse or not, it's more of, "Oh, you are a senior member, sell your clacks for $100 each" or "Oh, you're just some new guy who bought a clack to re-sell it, if you sell it for more than $10 I'm going to continually harrass you until you do." Which is why people make up 'lame excuses' to hopefully alleviate people continually attacking them for selling something that THEY own. This guy didn't even come up with some stupid excuse like "Oh my fish has cancer, I need to sell stuff for fish chemotherapy" he straight up said he wanted to sell it because he didn't like it, then when someone complained about him wanting to auction it, he just made an offhand comment about how he's poor, probably trying to just lighten the mood, but instead you guys are using it against him claiming hes only selling for the money, which why else do people sell things.........

Because it hurts us as a community every time someone does this, that's why. We're not whining or complaining because we couldn't get one at cost, and now someone is selling for the highest bid. We are trying to keep this community free from rampant profiteering. We should be helping each other, rather than trying to make a profit off of another member, even if that member is willing to pay. Join discussions, design new ideas, create something, help noobs learn about this hobby. All of that is what this community is about. Not making a quick buck because of limited supply and high demand.

Please jdcarpe, claiming clack sales hurts us as a community is so much more hurtful than an overpriced clack will ever be, that just enforces the whole GeekCap mentality. Stopping one person from trying to sell something they don't want will not even begin to touch the prominent "rampant profiteering" that is throughout these forums. I may be a relatively new member to GH, but after seeing a set of caps traded for one CC auction for hundreds of dollars by one of the highest members on the forum, I have no hope for even beginning to curb people's greed for money on these forums.

I agree with you about helping new people into the hobby, I've given away 10 or so of my caps to new members just so they have something to make their new keyboard unique, go take a look at /r/mechanicalkeyboards, any time someone posts "Check out my new keyboard" ripster gives them 1/3 of a free keycap, and the only way to get the other 2/3 is by participating in the community. Am I saying that GH should start doing that for every new member? heck no. What I am saying, is that as someone with tonnes of extra caps you'll never use, why haven't you given out some? I've thought about getting rid of some of my duplicate caps, but the thought of selling them even at cost disgusts me, I can't even begin to imagine how people who sell stuff for 2x, 5x, 10x the price they paid feel when they do that. Those are literally the scum of the earth. The only reason they keep getting away with it is because they do deals behind closed doors, through PMs, which is why people like Peter who buys stuff on the public site eBay cannot even attempt to sell for even the price they paid.

I dunno guys, this whole forum is full of people that are just here to make the next quick buck, from noobs to veteran members...

Clack mania is the most flagrant example of the profiteering and price inflation problems that we've seen on GH.  And they aren't cheap to begin with.   That's why it chafes more than people selling novelty keycaps for 3x cost.

I disagree. His explanation of not "liking how it looked" was a very lame excuse. You can clearly see in the images provided how the Clack looks before you buy it. I don't think the CC changed colors while in the shipping process. So that is definitely a lame excuse. And as previously stated, I personally would not care so much  (and I'm sure others wouldn't care so much either), if the man clearly stated that he is looking to sell the Clack, and not give a half-ass reason as to why. Also, I don't expect the guy to sell the Clack at cost, and wouldn't mind him selling it at what it would normally go for here, all I ask is that he isn't so sneaky about it.

I dunno guys, this whole forum is full of people that are just here to make the next quick buck, from noobs to veteran members...
And I haven't really seen any veterans purchasing a Clack, and then immediately selling it after. If I'm wrong though, please correct me.


Also, I don't want any hate, just trying to have a clean argument here.


~Another thing, no one has even answered this man's question yet.

Fair enough, it's a lame excuse. But I can see how something would look different than online. However I HIGHLY disagree with the "others wouldn't care .. if he clearly stated he is trying to sell it" I think that would have brought even more grief from people since he's a new person trying to flip a clack. Also I don't see how he's being sneaky, he just asked what it would go for, which you finally answered :))

What I was talking about with vets, isn't Clack's but other artificially "rare" keyboard related things. :rolleyes:

Forgive me here, as I tend to keep my tongue out of Clack price discussions in general, but I disagree with it being a lame excuse. I've bought Clacks before, only to find out after having them that I don't want them, so I can see where he might be coming from if that's his true reasoning.

And by the way, I have given away plenty of things for free, personally. I just don't usually make it public, so you probably wouldn't know, unless you were the recipient. As secret Santa, I gave my giftee a Clack skull.

If he doesnt like how it looks perhaps he can consider selling at cost ;D EDIT: to me!

But I agree, its his clack, he can do whatever he wants to do with it, but thats just , my strong sense of whatever **** you call it :p

EDIT: why arent you my Santa, jd :( I need my first clack after so long LOL

I disagree. His explanation of not "liking how it looked" was a very lame excuse. You can clearly see in the images provided how the Clack looks before you buy it. I don't think the CC changed colors while in the shipping process. So that is definitely a lame excuse. And as previously stated, I personally would not care so much  (and I'm sure others wouldn't care so much either), if the man clearly stated that he is looking to sell the Clack, and not give a half-ass reason as to why. Also, I don't expect the guy to sell the Clack at cost, and wouldn't mind him selling it at what it would normally go for here, all I ask is that he isn't so sneaky about it.

And I haven't really seen any veterans purchasing a Clack, and then immediately selling it after. If I'm wrong though, please correct me.

Fair enough, it's a lame excuse. But I can see how something would look different than online. However I HIGHLY disagree with the "others wouldn't care .. if he clearly stated he is trying to sell it" I think that would have brought even more grief from people since he's a new person trying to flip a clack. Also I don't see how he's being sneaky, he just asked what it would go for, which you finally answered :))

Okay maybe others would care, but I personally would not. Also, I said he is being sneaky because he tries to hide the true purpose\reason for selling his 'Cap with an excuse. Bleh it isn't such a big deal, and I feel bad for the guy. This whole discussion kind of exploded, more so than I hoped.

What I was talking about with vets, isn't Clack's but other artificially "rare" keyboard related things. :rolleyes:
And yeah, I agree some veterans have sold these things. But usually not so soon after receiving them.

Forgive me here, as I tend to keep my tongue out of Clack price discussions in general, but I disagree with it being a lame excuse. I've bought Clacks before, only to find out after having them that I don't want them, so I can see where he might be coming from if that's his true reasoning.
Yeah, maybe I was a little too harsh with the "lame excuse" rant. I mean we all know what it feels like to love something one minute, and to hate it the next.
I just guess I got lost in this guys comment because I felt his motives were skewed, not because I know anything about him, but from personal experience with past resellers.
So, I entered this argument biased, and offer an apology to [zeropluszero] if I offended him in anyway.


And hopefully this all ends with a simple quote from Henry Ford :p
"A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business."
In my personal opinion, business on this forum should be to help the community out, and not for pure person gain. I can understand if someone is going through a tough time and needs the money, but even in those cases that I've seen, everyone is very honest, fair, and deals clean.

I picked up an Apple Extended Keyboard II (has the Mitsumi Alps Clone and is in amazing shape aside from a yellowed spacebar) and an Apple Keyboard II (not sure of the switch type, I think it's membrane but not sure what kind of membrane) from a computer repair shop for 5 dollars each.

I'm just curious as to what they are worth, I plan on keeping the AEKII for a bit to see how I like the Mitsumi switches but curious to see if either one was a good find or not.

Terminal Model M's with RJ-45 connector, some 122 key, some 104 key.  A few of them are refurbished and clean, one is in the original box, the rest could use a cleaning, but all of them were successfully tested with a teensy converter.   Also some 5 pin din 122 key model M's  and a couple of Model F's, that were tested. 

I'm keeping three for myself, but the rest should be appreciated.  Also I have some rubber dome model M's.

Hi guys. Can I get a price check on a Filco Majestouch 2 87 key Ergo Clear (modded by Bro MMB)

Key caps are PBT black engraved. I'm trying to sell this locally to a couple of friends here in the Philippines before I fly back to the US in the next 2 weeks.

I'd say 90-110 for a used stock Filco MJ2 tenkeyless, but with those mods and such, it would probably sell for a little more.  I probably wouldn't feel too bad about paying $150 for such a thing if I were looking for one.  Maybe a little more depending on how much you put into it, or how good your friends are. :)

Found a new in box IBM Model M 1391401 without cable.
Factory sealed and never opened, until i opened it,  Dated April 1992

I've ordered a cable off of ebay for $15 and free shipping to try it out.

It has a SDL cable port, a rectangular enter key, springs in the keys and a white/gray IBM logo in the top left hand corner.

I doubt it's actually NIB if it doesn't have a cable. That being said, you could probably get $60 shipped out of it easily if it's actually NIB.

I just found an FK-3001 (version with the calculator built in) I've cleaned it up and everything on it works. There is some yellowing on the case but the caps are in good (not to shiny) condition.

How much is it worth?

I'd say about $35-$40. ALPS are a tough sell.
