Title: 5 SSKs available on ebay $175+$15 s/h, each

$175 BIN + $15 s/h, each. Not the best deal ever, but there are 5 of them and the price is OK. there is only one picture for all of them, so it is unclear exactly what you would get. So good luck if you do decide to BIN.

Post by: MMB on Wed, 24 October 2012, 15:41:49: I bought one before from this guy. Amazed someone finally found this. It's been up, on and off for a very long time.

The one I received was in mint condition.

The one that you sold me?

They look a bit dirty but it's nothing a bit of hard work won't clean

Post by: MMB on Wed, 24 October 2012, 16:29:51: Yeah, they will need some cleaning, but otherwise, they are perfect. No busted rivets.

Post by: jdcarpe on Wed, 24 October 2012, 16:39:55: Thanks for the tip, litster! Now there are 4 remaining. I've been looking to add an SSK to my collection for a while, but never pulled the trigger. Now I just need a good Alps board to round it out and I'll be done.

Post by: fohat.digs on Wed, 24 October 2012, 18:38:17: I had a NIB Focus 2001 and it took a while to sell it.

I finally sold it for about $65 on ebay.

Would have expected to have gotten more.

Very nice. You reminded me which Alps board I really, really want. The Focus FK-5001 with that badass calculator. But your NIB 2001 looks so beautiful.

As I said, I bought one from him, and aside from some normal 'board chow', it was in perfect condition. I opened the case, and there were zero broken rivets.
