Title: Is $60 a reasonable price for an 87 piece set of POMs?
Post by: dmbr on Tue, 25 February 2014, 09:22:28
Pondering a purchase...they're the right color and I'm not sure how rare these are.

Thanks!

I paid about $25 for an MY1800 with POM caps.

Heh...so, not really?

I imagine the key caps you received were lettered.

I'm just worried it will be a long time till I find another set that's blank and the color I want, since these are all I can find right now :/

Are these very hard to find?

That's up to you. I prefer lettered caps so to me, blank caps for $60 wouldn't be something I'd buy.

I have no idea what set you're referring to so it's hard to say.

At one point, there was going to be a GB for a 104 at $29 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49081.0) with this colorway. I wonder if you can find the set for a similar price somewhere. I would say if ~$30 exists in a GB, it might exist outside of the GB. If it were me, I'd say $60 might be too much and I'd hunt around more.

You might be able to find someone selling DAS II caps for a low price as well.
