A used keyboard. He's just taking advantage of the popularity of mechanicals.

The seller is being sarcastic. It's in "Mint Conditions", not mint condition(s). Kind of like how well known fast food chains might say 'the "beef" in our burgers is yummy scrummy'

I realise it's a bit below the belt, and I wouldn't normally take the mickey out of people for poor grammar, but this seller is taking the mickey with the asking price.

You really think so? My thought was, and is still, that perhaps English isn't the sellers first language.  I hate to think what my posts in other languages would read like as I can barely speak English sometimes,:wink:.
