Factory seconds are probably the most economical

Triple shot multicolored ones tend to be close to a $100, but the candy corn ones are a little cheaper sometimes

The special run weird colors tend to go for a pretty good amount of money depending on color I have seen them go for between $60-$100

Vaders also change in price rapidly and the last one on the market went for $150

These are guestimates

ripsters prices are that high because I don't think any actual interest in selling them, and has some 'one of a kind' type ones.

I will trade you a giant bag of white double shots for that candy corn ;) although I will warn you there are no full sets in there and a lot of weird single space keys

Post by: fantus on Tue, 31 January 2012, 22:43:39: I remember back in october, a few weeks after I got my first filco I went to the Elitekeyboards website everyday, as usual. On the website was all of the click clack keys for sale, mere minutes after it was posted on the website. At the time I was shocked at how expensive these keycaps were, 'SERIOUSLY $22 (or whatever the jackolantern was), these people are insane'. Now that I am seriously considering buying a Topre keyboard I feel such a fool. X.X

Welcome to geekhack!

Yeah, a similar thing happened to me, I thought: $100 for a keyboard? I'll just keep this model M I got for free. Now I have more keyboards than limbs (just on one desk) and a whole stack in the closet.
