Hey there,
There is a Korean seller on ebay that has 7 lots of 500 genuine and new Alps SKCM White switches for sale. The pictures look actually as it could be true. However, I am as much sceptic as I am curious and greedy to get hands on some of these. I also asked the seller where these switches come from and where they spent the last 30 to 40 years.
The seller claimed in the respond that the switches are not harvested but brand new and genuine Alps. He said they were bought in the 90s from Alps in Japan and stored in their warehouse since then.
What do you think. Scam or not scam?
The seller has 4 ebay reviews. All of them bought the 500 SKCM Whites. Maybe one of these buyers in also around here?

I also asked this in the deskthority forum:

A few folks I know did mini group buys on Discord with these lots. They're definitely legit and definitely feel great!

If I was more flush I would snag a box - just because.
