I have managed to get hold of more cherry blue boards (tvs gold). I will be selling them at cost, but you will need to pay up front as I don't have any more cash to put into this. I have 6 more boards to sell. Post in this thread if you want one. I will then pm you with paypal address, you have 24hrs to pay otherwise it goes to the next person. The boards cost 13gbp plus shipping to you. I will need you to cover paypal charges otherwise I will be loosing money on helping you guys out.
After I get the boards I will invoice you postage charges, once paid they will be on the way to you.
-
i want a mx blue! :)
-
Pm's will go out after 6 people have requested. I don't want to take peoples money then not get enough intreast.
-
what kind of boards? i have no idea...
Pics please, thanks.
-
I'm posting here as well just to be sure. I want one:-). You will have payment as soon as i get your paypal.
Thank you for doing this!
-
They are called tvs gold and are the ps2 model here is the original ebay listing.

2 down, 4 to go.
-
Can also check them out here: http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:7268
I'm shocked that there is not more interest in these. Extremely cheap mx blues.
-
Yeah, it's a bit weird. I mean, they could act as not that expensive spring donor boards if one would be interested in making some ErgoClears at least. :tongue:
I'll check with a couple of friends who *might* like it. Could be a good first mechanical for some people...
-
I have an invoice for the other 72gbp I will need to pay for them. Does anyone here want more than one?
-
I'll take two if you still need to get rid of more than one.
-
I'll take two if you still need to get rid of more than one.
That gets me to 4. I need 2 more boards bought, then I will send out the pm's.
-
I'll take one! Haven't had a good try at blues yet, so not going to pass up on an offer like this!
-
1 more 2 go (may have 2 more to sell after I get them, depending on if I keep any.)
-
I'll take two mate :)
-
All gone. pm's will be sent tonight. Please pay soon after so I can get this going.
-
If somebody wants to let go one of them, I'll take it.
tks

-
Yes but he doesn't have them in the UK. I am getting them shipped from India. If it goes well with 10 I may do a second bigger group buy.

But, it says "Item location: London, United Kingdom" ?
-
He is getting another shipment here in 2 weeks. If I want more than 10 he will ship them strait to me from India.
-
Fossala, what kind of keycaps are they?
I might get myself one = p.
Edit:
http://www.tvs-e.in/product.aspx?pid=38
Laser Etched Characters on Keycaps - Characters on keyboard dont fade away
Buying myself one = )
-
Is it worth me getting one direct and giving the US members my slot?
-
Someone should do a review on these before you buy those next 10
-
I'll review it when I get mine (Im in UK = )) Hopefully royal mail will be quick about it.
-
There's a few photo's on this site about the board, they are cherry blues with really really bad bendy caps.
-
I got one.
-

He has non in the UK he has some coming in soon. Don't know why he has listed more without having them in hand.
-

Will be cheaper to get one yourself. I will need 2 more people to get them if you are out.
PM's sent out.
-
There's plenty of interest, let people take my slot.
unless it's a problem or you can't get shot then I'll be straight back in bud.
-
I'll take one :D
Sent from a phone...
-
Still awaiting PM, I hope these are worth it :D
-

I don't need money of you right now as the first 4 I bought where paid for by me (spare money I had laying around. I will pm you once I get them in and know the shipping costs.
-
Some people backed out so I should have some spare. I have only just placed the order as some people where very slow paying (you know who you are ;) ). Should be here in 1-2 weeks. will try to get them in the post 48hrs after they arive.

Ok, Im just waiting too pay, can't wait :D
-
Waiting on the boards, shouldn't be much longer.
If one more person asks me for a refund and I have to find more sellers this will be the last time I will help the comunity. I am getting pissed of with everyone backing out of buying the boards. At the moment out of the extra 4 people I have sold the boards to 3 people have backed out and I have had to give them refunds, this leaves me short. If you commit to buying something then f%^#$ing buy it. I was drunk and bought a case for $50 the other day, I regret it but at least I keep to my word and paid for it.
-
I'm new to this forum and I don't really know the protocol for this but I would like to buy one, what is the cost with shipping to the US? how do I go about buying one? my price range is limited but I would like to get one if I can possibly afford it.
-
I am not selling anymore till I actully get them. You will see yet another thread for that.
-
could you tell me what the cost would be? (roughly)
-
Shipping should be just over 10gbp to the US. The board would be 13gbp.
-
Can i take the place of one of the back-er-outters? I could paypal you today. Sorry its been such a hassle, its appreciated though!
-
I kno how u feel, I hate *******s that sign up for shiz then just stay silent or change their minds or whatever just makes you sick. Like you said - IF YOU SIGNED UP FOR IT THEN GODDAM STICK IT OUT
That said I'm interested if you do any more (in a new thread or whatever) and can get one to me (UK) for less than the £17 ebay is charging, including paypal fees and whatever. If a few days have passed just PM me to ensure i havent gone and bought one off ebay and ill pay you instantly.
-
Is there a way to get black version of that keyboard?
-
Just updating you guys. The parcel hasn't turned up so and he wont reply. I will give him till Friday to reply (sending daily emails). If he hasn't responded/package turn up all I can do is refund you guys and make a claim with paypal to get my 130gbp back.
-
Will let u know if mine turn up. Think it will just be delayed.
-
that guy seemed dodgy though... I ordered one that will apparently arrive in 2-3 weeks.
-

I got told 2 weeks, 2 1/2 weeks ago. He won't reply to my emails either.
-
The non-responsive type are the worst :s
-
I have filled a paypal dispute. Sorry guys, I feel guilty even though I have no control. I will have you money back to you the second I get it back. At least paypal is useful for some things.

Don't stress it man, we can wait ;)
-
I'm the one who put 2 negative feedbacks for that guy. He's a crook. He's begging now to change my feedback. No way !
-

This, it's not your fault, so no need to feel guilty for anything ^^
-
I bought one off this guy independently and it's sitting in my house right now. It came like ASAP after I ordered it. The keyboard is waaaaaaaaaaay second hand though, it has a connection before the ps2 converter that I'll need to look up on the wiki. The key switches kind of grind and get stuck. This is my first blue, but it sounds like it has a piece of sand stuck in it. I just wanted the springs really. I ordered some whites in a group buy, and a poker with blacks, so I'm hoping to do ghetto reds. Sucks that he screwed you guys. If it's any consolation though, the board I received was a real disappointment.
-
I have recived some pictures from someone who recived some and to be fair I think we are lucky they haven't turned up.
-
Gave him negative feedback for mine. He tried to bribe me for positive feedback. Trying to get me to cover postal costs when he's a business seller! Ignorant of distance selling laws. Guy is a riiight c0ck end. Avoid!

Are you going to public post pictures of the boards he sent you?
-

This. I have ordered one independently, asked for a black model and he told me I had to pay £1 extra because it was black.
But yeah I'm hoping it doesn't turn up so I can get a refund and be done now.
actually, I messaged him about a black board, and like I said he replied saying it was £1 extra. This was a week back. He actuay replied again just a few days ago now saying that a black model is £2 extra...
make what you will of that.
-
I wish I had never dealed with him. He doesn't reply to my complaints about non-delivery. And when he does respond to questions it seems like he doesn't have any comprehension of the english language.
-
I put two negative feedbacks for him. This guys is stupid or a crook. He shows no comprehension not only of English, but of the whole eBay business. He's begging now to change my feedback. All those boards are coming from India, so I didn't trust the quality and the description. Thank God I didn't get them.
-
India eh... i pretty much need a new jacket every time I walk in/out of an Indian restaurant, the food keeps me going back though.
-

If you're okay with it, that control key is just awesome and I've never seen legends of this quality!

Don't see your feedback yet bud, you'll see mine on there its the two complaining about distance selling laws.

Yeah, people should know.

Look again: 27 March, the "Totally unprofessional. ... " comments.
-
Ah right that was you! I'll get some pics posted tonight for a laugh. :) Fingers crossed eBay do what's right.
-
lol btw how much do a set of cherry blue switches sell for?

The keys do not rebound when pressed, there is a chemical coating on them and I need to wash my hands after touching them.
-
Can we please set up a GB for doubleshot versions of those modifiers?
-
If I don't get my money back those caps will be auctioned.
Hazeluff is wasting his time, he just needs a sharpie marker.
-
What they did to this poor keyboard is illegal. We should call 911.

0.o

The pictures don't show how bad the quality actually is, imagine a harsh chemical smell, keys that stick down and have to be pulled back into place. How this could be sold AT ALL, is what bothers me.
Also how many people does he get to give him positive feedback with partial refunds?
-
I guess I got lucky. cos my keys were really nice.
-
I got mine a few moments ago.. things I can spot (being new to these kind of stuff):
1. Space bar is a bit sticky which means sometimes when when I type it doesn't register, and the n key too.
2. The keys are different heights, and if I'm not mistaken that is because it's extremely used?
3. The ctrl key is slightly worn out but other than that all the other keys are just fine.
Then again I've got an model m coming (lexmark) so this is just to try out, if it compares really badly with the model m I may just take it apart and see what's inside since I've never gotten a mechanical keyboard and sure as hell won't disassemble the model m. lol...
-
This TVS board really isn't a board you should be considering typing on. Salvaging parts is at best what you can do with it. But with all the bad keys others are getting, it may not even be worth your money at all.
I got lucky and came away with:
-Doubleshot Keycaps
-Springs
-
I got unlucky and came away with, hassle.
-
Oh great, just great.
Those of us which have ordered are feeling just terrific right now.

I would question the quality of those springs, if they are made in India.

Can we see some pictures, please, just to keep spirits up ?

I hope you don't mind but if those keyboards look like dirges im out, if I can get a refund I would b ehappy

If you read the whole thread, you will of found out mine have got "lost" and I am going through paypal for a refund. You will get your money back the day I get a refund.
Sorry for all the hassle caused.
-
I think the control key ended up in that condition as the Indian in the call centre finally took his rage out on the keyboard as it was THAT bad!
So if you get cold called from an Indian call centre, take it easy on them.

You ought to refund people FIRST. Worry about your refund later. After all, this was your initiative, and you're responsible for the losses.
Right. I'll take 83 of these. When will I receive them?
-

Dude, please. I think everybody on this board can handle ~15 lost, but ten times that for one person is pretty ****ing unreasonable.
People knew this was going through ebay. They had the chance to check out the seller and decide if they wanted to take that risk.
-
let's not let this get ugly in the public forum. if you feel the need to flame, please PM me instead. i'm sure we can work this out without bickering.
-
This forum is populated by children. I can't take it seriously, sorry.

Seriously? I don't have 130gbp spare...
I did this as a favour, as I have done before. I don't get money from any of this, I do it to be nice. If anyone really really needs the money give me a pm and I will see what I can do.

fossala, don't worry, that guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
-
He has been spamming my threads since I said that he shouldn't relist classified items because he doesn't like what people say (not me).

Other people have been banned for thread****ting classifieds in a harassing manner. Just saying. ;)
-
Lesson to learn: Don't pollute other's sales threads.
-
I am not going to give you an infraction for threadcrapping for "revenge" because this isn't my area of the forum. But I am reporting you for it and hope the mod of the classified will do something.
-
there's a bit of a history about that guy actually
-
UPDATE: The guy has not responded to my claim. No paypal will make a dessication (48hrs). As I said the moment it hits my account I will be issuing refunds.
-
If there is no money in their paypal account to take you are SOL unfortunately. At that point you can do a chargeback with your CC company and thats about it.
-
If this is the case I will still refund everyone, will be just when I get paid.

IS THIS HOW CRAP PAYPAL IS - WHAT THE AIDS DO WE PAY THOSE DAMNED FEES FOR
-
PayPal fees are charged I order to fund PayPal owners' kids' college funds. Nothing else.http://paypalsucks.com
read it and weep.
-
I read it.
weeping commences.
-
If you chargeback against Paypal, you can say goodbye to your paypal account. Even if you're in the right to do so.
-
eBay and PayPal... so useful yet so hated
-
The case is closed but I don't have the refund in my account. I have sent them an email asking what is going on. As I said you guys shouldn't worry I will cover it when I get paid...
-
I've got both of mine stuck in eBay resolution centre, according to their site I should have the option to escallate. But it's not there for me :(
sigh... I don't want this idiot to get away with this!
-
My transaction wasn't through ebay. Just paypal, so I have to go through them.
-
damn it! I'd love to get one too :/
-
damn it! I'd love to get one too :/
Trust me you wouldn't ... check my pictures
-
guy seems quite cheerful about my black one I ordered 2 weeks ago
not dispatched it yet though
-
The guy won't answer my emails. He did till I started to ask where my parcel was.
-
That's just ridiculous.
Its probably because he's not scared of negative feedback as you did it outside of eBay.
And if PayPal doesn't get you the money back then... I don't know, I just really don't know.
-
I will have to front it from my pocket. Not happy about it but it's my responsibility.
-
Did you ever get your refund from paypal fossala?
-
fossala does not post here anymore. you will have to ask him at DT. closing this thread
