http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeigen/s-anzeige/cherry-tastatur-g80-1800-qualitativ-hochwertige-ps-2-102-tasten/28695188
have bought 2 for 6 and found the same seller at ebay.kleinanzeigen.de and there he is selling them for 1€ (as i said in germany our prices for used keyboards arent that high, others want make to believe you)
i called the seller and he putted 6 into my box instead of 3 :-)
its german layout, but 1€ is real cheap for this good keyboards. so i neednt to buy a raptor gaming :D and have enough black switches to modify something :-)
i like geekhack and will stay in here. maybe other germans like this page to, so i posted this great find in here.

what do you talking about?

ANSI layout or ISO?

posted this earlier at deskthority.net
ANSI layout or ISO?
not sure photos indicate both, you should ask the seller
-
well i am no desk... user ^^ complain elsewere^^
i think you do this crapping thing ^^ the others have told me about it.
ive bought them 2 weeks ago there before this kleinanzeigen thing came up yesterday. my price was 3€ and after calling the seller he put more keyboards into my delivery, because the have some pricing policy finding something cheaper elsewhere. dont complain about something i dont know about. that rly sick. i was watching kleinanzeigen for some ibm hardware and last but not leasr watched over some cherry keyboards and found the same seller offering the same cherrys 2€ below what i paid. so i came up with this great finding in here to inform others.

dont blow this out of proportion
oh and.. ^^

ok ^^ :-)

Btw, you both lose.

FYI: They are ISO layout and vary in USB and PS2 versions.
-
Will he ship to the US?

ebaykleinanzeige != ebay

no i dont think so and if it will be expensive :-)
it was quiet hard to talk with him in german, cant imagine he is able to speak english.
-
They also have an online shop.. but after throwing 5 keyboards in my shopping cart I went to the checkout. Can only select "Germany" in the country field of the user account creation :(
Emailed the guy about it (in atrocious german) and maybe he can provide me with some more information. Will post if I know more.
-
I just mailed the guy.
edit: maybe i can find out how much the shipping to US is. if it is not too much work, ill try to ship it.
-
as i said it was complicated enough to talk with them in german ( i am german ) they re foreigners and english speaking people who want to trade in germany are most suspicious persons.
if you want them i could buy them there and ship it to you. but the 1€ thing is only for b2b in germany^^ so one would be 3-5 € each keyboard.
big box and a lot of keyboards shipping to USA will be no problem^^ think about 40€ for the shipping and 10 - 20 keyboards for 3€ = 110 € would be 5,50 € each keyboard shipping inclusive
but the question is, do you want 20 of these? :D
-
Just ordered 3.
Shipping it to US it would cost 25,- $.
Shipping to domin8r would be 10,-€.

sinis, if you receive an ANSI version, could I buy one from you and ship to the US? Would paypal work for you for payment? Thanks.

I am waiting for the shipping of the three, I can do some photos then.
The keyboard-photo on the link is ANSI, am I right?
Paypal is ok. I just want to wait for the first three.
@looserboy. Can you provide photos? I totally overlooked, it seems they did not arrive at yours allready. Maybe I should have waited ...
-
The photo is ANSI, but sixty said it is ISO. Could you email the seller to see if he has ANSI layout of this keyboard? Thanks.
-
Just asked the vendor for ANSI via email.
-
well then all went fine for you i have telephoned with the co there and told him that some us students maybe will order some, so that you ll have no problems to order some.
the biggest problem is, that englishspeaking people who want to buy something or sell are most criminals ;-) especially in germany, thats why all are very cautios.
the keyboards are all ISO maybe they have some in ANSI its a second hand shop so all is possible.
well the shipping to us is quiet cheap. i am wondering because local shipping in germany is 7€. but i am glad if it works for ya :)
-
did they arrive at yours?
-
yes they arrrived - posted in the mail :-) all were dusty some more others less. but all were working and after cleanup in a rly good shape.
-
If I can get an ANSI from sinis, I will not resell it. I really want one :)
-
I sent the guy a 2-question email.
The question about the ANSI was not answered. <_<

looks like its time for me to speak up. As far as I know he has no ANSI boards. And I know quite well, since I packed his pallets of g80-1800 boards, 3000 each. All ISO-DE, all blacks.
I know him personally...and no, I currently cant take care of any group orders, I'm way too busy.
-
If we can find a person in Germany willing to buy a lot and ship to US, like a group buy, I would be interested
-
i could do this^^
i have 5x g80 1800 wich i could sell you without problem^^ right now and if you want more i have to order them there.
but let recieve me first the last delivery.
-
It really is funny that in february, when i offered unlimited quantities of these at 5€ each to the US no one was interested.
-
plz dont do threadcrapping^^
-
iso-de = qwertz + diacritical characters ?
-
diacritical = ü,ö,ä,ß?
if so, yes. Just check wikipedia.
As for these...come august ill be in my semester break and working with him again, I can ship out up to 3000 of these boards then, if anyone is interested in a serious group buy.
-
If you're in the US and interested in buying bulk and splitting shipping cost, let me know

sinis wrote earlier that shipping one keyboard from Germany to the US is $25. How much could we save if we bulk ship a bunch of these from Germany to the US and then shipping them out separately again within CONUS?

I would think that the more you buy, the more you would save as you would be able to fit more in a larger box. But then again this may be too much to pay for some Cherry blacks
-
lol serious group buy 3000^^
i thought about to send some keyboards to guys who want to have some of these , to help them out. no buiseness interest at my side. i wont earn a cent on this.
i you want help in this case pm me - i will order the amout you want and send it to you. and dont forget its all iso de layout.
-
:(

If looserboy or Ascaii don't mind shipping keyboards to us in the US when they have time, that maybe the most economic way to do. If they do this for us we would for sure need to cover shipping material and their time spent on doing this for us as well as the cost of the keyboards and shipping cost.
Or we trade with them by getting something for them here in the States that are harder to get in Europe. I don't know what that might be. :-)
-
i wrote it 3 times that i would help if someone need it^^.. have plenty of time and its no big deal to get money - pay the seller and deliver it to US.
http://www.dhl.de/de/paket/privatkunden/international/paket.html
one keyboards is about 1kg, i think dhl is the most serious and secure method to deliver it.
who wants, how many, and then well see what the best shipping is for you. as i said before 20 keyboards about 40€ shipping would be 110 € = 5,50€ each keyboard for ya and shipping is included^^ only for example^^ then about 2-5$ and its at your home. one native person should recieve this in america and send it to you - ripster maybe? i think the most trustworthy in here, in my opinion.
the best thing is you have one year warranty on these :D.

This is what I was thinking, sort of a flat rate or economy style method
-
Is US zone 3? How many keyboards can you put into a 120mmx60mmx60mm box?
-
yes zone 3 is usa. well i think between 20 and 50... its big.. 120cm x 60cm 60cm^^
one keyboard is ca 40cm x 20cm x 5cm = LxBxH = Lenght x Width x High
-
Maybe it is worth it to bulk ship. Gwb, I am in for 2 :D
-
I am probably being a moron here, but it looks like roughly ~108 keyboards would fit in the 120x60x60 box
-
i think dhl is the fastest and most secure for all dont want to mess around with a sloppy delivery.
40 40 40 = 120cm
H H H H H H H H H 20
5cm^^
H H H H H H H H H 20 = 60cm
5cm^^
H H H H H H H H H 20
5cm^^
but think about 108 = 110 - 120 kg^^
i think 25 - 50 kg box dependent on how much there should be in.

I agree, DHL is probably the best route to go with international shipping
-
How about packing peanuts? Don't pack it like Amazon does ;)
-
We can probably figure shipping will be less than $40 to the states for more than 50 keyboards. We just need to price that looserboy pays to buy the keyboards+plus his shipping cost
-
well i think an amount of 30 is ok,
dont forget the shipping to me costs something and i have to pack it up or improve the packing (because their packing is poor^^ ) and deliver it straight to you^^
some packing peanuts, newspapers and airpillows or something isnt that hard to find in here and wont cost anything.

yes thats it ^^
-
Sounds great, if you could give us an estimate of for your cost for 30 keyboards+the cost of shipping to you from him, we could get this thing going
-
well i read about the pricing so it is a bit different as thought
max 31,5 kg --> 84 € shipping to usa
25kg --> 64€
so i would propose for about 20 keyboards = 60 € + 64Shipping to USA + (shipping from seller to me, about 7-10 €)
sow about 130€ / 20 Keyboards = 6,50€ each keyboard including shipping (6,50€ = 9,50$)
so this keyboard would cost you about 9,50$ international shipping included
+ domestic shipping i think about 5$ for a box in usa or?
-
i believe this is the best thing we could worked out :hippie:
ok now we re in need of some people who want these keyboards^^
and one who will recieve the whole international delivery who will send via domestic shipping to the people.
1 G80 1800 for (username)

4 G80 1800 for (username)
5 G80 1800 for (username)
6 G80 1800 for (username)
7 G80 1800 for (username)
8 G80 1800 for (username)
9 G80 1800 for (username)
10 G80 1800 for (username)
11 G80 1800 for (username)
12 G80 1800 for (username)
13 G80 1800 for (username)
14 G80 1800 for (username)
16 G80 1800 for (username)
17 G80 1800 for (username)
18 G80 1800 for (username)
19 G80 1800 for (username)
20 G80 1800 for (username)
or one who buy them all and sell them to the others ;-) would make some things easier for me ;-)
-
I would not mind receiving the int'l delivery, but someone else can take that roll as well
-
maybe ripster?
i ll only deliver if all money for the international delivery is on my account. if there are less than 20 people or less bids, i ll cancel all and you ll all recieve your money back.
its not a big amount of money and i calculated the domestic delivery in usa with 5€ box^included^^ this is realistic i think so the reciever of the int box has no risk at all^^
the only thing is he has to deliver 20 boxes :-) and you pay him the domestic fee in stage two of this groupbuy
