Title: New G80-3484HKCUS (brown switch, double-shot keycap), and some blue switches
Post by: trchen on Fri, 02 September 2011, 04:57:37

Recently I bought 3 of these from China auction site out of impulse (you know Cherry double-shot keycaps are hard to find nowadays).
It took me $241.77 for each, and later I regretted to spend so much money on keyboards...

The keyboard comes in the original package. The package shows some wear and tear though the keyboard itself is brand new, never used.

I do think that $241.77 is way overpriced. Please believe me I'm not trying to profit from this. I just want to recover my cost as much as possible.
I'm going to sell 2 of them, in the form of 2nd-price auction with reserve price of $192 and an upper bound of $240.
That is, if you are willing to pay $240, it is yours. Otherwise please PM me your bid. The highest 2 bidders win the auction but only have to pay the bid price second to him, with a minimum of $192.
For example, if only 2 bidders are there, one bid for $220 and the other bid for $200, then one pay $200 and the other pay $192.
Shipping is complimentary within the US.

I also bought a bunch of blue switches. I still have ~220 of them. Each took me $0.502. I'm going to sell them at cost price, plus shipping.

I'm located in Bay Area, California. Local pickup is welcome.

I don't have a camera at hand right now. Will post the pictures later if anyone is interested.

Answer to some of your questions:

1. Where is the item location for pickup?
I live near Palo Alto & Mountain View, and I go to San Francisco every one or two weeks.

2. Are the blue switchs brand-new?
Yes, they are never soldered or used.

3. What's the type of the blue switches?
I don't know the exact part number, but you can see from the picture.
It should be noted that the switch comes with only 2 pins, without the extra 2 pins for jumper wire. That means you'll have to make your jumper wire if it is used to replace the switches on the G80-3484. Or alternatively I recommend you use the solderless method to mod your switch by removing the cap of the switch and swap the plastic inserts.

4. Do you ship internationally?
Yes, I can ship with most carriers including USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc... You can quote for estimated shipping fee on their website.

Please excuse me for my ignorance, but what are advantages that cherry keyboards have over other manufacturers?
