Title: Trent's Mega Sell Thread [Part 2!]
Post by: Trent on Sat, 23 June 2012, 23:44:51
For the TL;DR crowd: selling keyboards, paypal only, PM me with items interested, separate shipping containers for multiple items

Edit 8/17/12: Part 2 everyone!  I am listing them slowly but surely, for now I have two great boards for sale ready to be grabbed up by anyone who is looking to buy!

Hello all!  I am selling a variety of items that I got from a massive purchase of vintage keyboards.  This is part 2 of the sale.  A side note: the majority of the money of these sales will be going BACK into geekhack users by conducting other purchases on the classifieds.  There are a lot of boards that I am looking to buy.  A link to my WTB thread will be posted when I have completed it.

Payment Method
PayPal only.

A PayPal invoice will be sent to your email address.  Once it has been processed the order will be shipped within a couple days.

Shipping
For the time being, if you order multiple items I will have to ship them separately. I bought a lot of boxes from uline specifically for this purpose. If you do order multiple items they will be shipped on the same day (assuming you order them on the same day). I do not have any boxes that will fit more than one keyboard, but if the order is large enough I would investigate this! Items will be shipped via USPS Parcel Post to reduce shipping costs. Shipping internationally is expensive but will be done as per special requests.

Updates:
6/23/12 - Thread posted

For the record, the Chicony is definitely Futabas. I also recognize the switches on the Laser one, but I can't ID them off the top of my head. I'll check tomorrow.

Just as a helpful suggestion in case you do need to ship more than one thing, you could put one keyboard in each box, and then tape all the boxes together in a stack and send it as one package. Should save you a fair amount assuming it doesn't go over any size limitations for USPS parcel post.

I've seen many individuals attempt to do this at the post office, and every time they tell them that they are not allowed to do this.  I will ask them the next time I go though.

i have amazon prime and have been known to order stupid stuff of a given size that i need but should probably just go outside and buy in order to obtain a box of a given size for free. example: toilet paper.

I don't see why this would be a problem. I had a few keyboards shipped to me from Singapore like this. Even if they didn't allow this, you could easily put some sort of wrapping around the multiple boxes and they would have no idea that they were in fact multiple boxes instead of just one larger one. Anyways GLWS.

The problem with shipping that way would be asking. They can't stop you if you don't tell them you did it. Especially if you use brown paper to wrap it, not just obvious tape in suspicious places.

You also need to change the font in your first post, as it is now unreadable in this new default color scheme.

mate the images are huuuuge and without the detail to match the size - quite blurry. Maybe try making them smaller for ease of viewing?

Another thing, not to sound nitpicky, but that light blue font is nearly impossible to read on the light background. (for me at least)
I had to highlight the text just to read it. : (

EDIT: oopsy! I didn't really realize how old this thread is. Dx

I made the proper edits and also have edited the items available.  It has been a long time since the thread was posted but I do indeed still have items available!  Will be adding a couple more as the days go on.
