Post by: eyesnine on Tue, 22 May 2012, 06:08:14: I'll never understand why Cherry doesn't bring these back with selling prices like that.

The same goes for Unicomp with the SSKs.

Could you even imagine if Unicomp made a keyboard with softer springs and a HHKB layout?

Post by: alaricljs on Tue, 22 May 2012, 23:35:17: I start all my auctions at $.99, including the RAM I sold a few months back that ended up at $1500. Ebay lets you end an auction without selling the item early and they tell you how many people are watching the item and how many page views it gets. As long as you don't abuse it you can easily end an auction that is not getting sufficient interest.

Post by: 486 on Wed, 23 May 2012, 16:17:16: Wow, that's incredible. I'd like to find out who bought them. (lol webwit) Anyways, split keyboards are nice but I personally find that they break much more easier than your stock standard Cherry MX3000 or IBM Model M 1391401 and that greatly devalues the price. Most of the items I list start at .99 cents becuase the item will always find it's price if listed correctly.

Post by: IvanIvanovich on Thu, 24 May 2012, 18:41:41: Is it a relist, or a new listing with bin price based on last auction? Pics are watermarked 2010, so I suspect they may have a lot of these. Lucky them.
