"A chicony alps white and a blue..."? I thought this was going to be a bar joke?
OK, a chicony alps and a blue alps keyboard walk into a bar and say...
"Can someone call us a cab...we've lost our keys"

A guy walks into a bar with a chicony keyboard under his arm,
and the bartender says "We don't like your typing here."

the joke here is the price on the first one.
The punchline is that I'm the seller. More specifically the store I work at. I found that in the back room and nobody else knew it's value, When I listed that I used it on my bench, so I listed it at a fairly silly price, if it didn't sell, I got to use it, if it sold, it would at least be a nice payday (I got half profit for everything listed through the store)
That said, if somebody is really interested in it, we could barter. I no longer use it, although as my first mech it does hold a special place in my heart.
Lack of winkey kills it though.
EDIT: Double checked the price, apparently the guy who took over is slashing prices, I listed it at 80-90 bucks IIRC. Feel free to message them with wacky questions, because as far as they are concerned, the keyboard is that expensive because it's filled with pixie dust.
"Can someone call us a cab...we've lost our keys"
I read that 3 times before i got the punchline. I need to sleep more.

Just glad somebody read it and got it, hah... Thanks for the additional info on the keyboard...
