I already have a blue alps board...so I'm not in the market for one.  I've never seen a DC2014 that wasn't blue alps.

I've tried almost every other kind of Alps, so why not?

Made an offer.   :p

I've got three other Alps keyboards/keycap sets pending, with my luck I'll end up winning them all.  Blue Alps may be interesting, but if they're basically the same as white Alps?

I made an offer that I think is fair.

I see someone went ahead and bought it after all.   :)

I'll just have to console myself with the Toshiba T1200 and the Sharp PC-7000 that I just closed on.  99¢ each, plus shipping.  Yes, I had to look up the cents symbol...   ;D

Thick vintage double-shot Alps caps to add to the three Focus/Majitronic boards I've accumulated.

Damn good deal. If the person that bought is from here, let us know how it is...
