Jeez. That's why I got a HAMPO..

These listings aren't particularly overpriced or anything.. They're just damn valuable keyboards.

For reference :

Yeah, two different revisions. One with windows keys, one with F keys.

I find the pricing similar to the M15, yes they've sold for prices similar to those but for much nicer specimens. These sellers should just put them up for auction and let the market decide instead of this BIN BS.

Wouldn't be surprised if that first one went for higher than $1200 in auction, considering it has the box & manual. That is, if that mark on the spacebar can be removed.. If not it'll be worth a heck of a lot less.

Make offer... everyone send offer for no more than $500. Perhaps someone will get for non obscene price.

I will send mine for $600 to ensure I win.  Nobody else do that, though.

Go less for the first seller. There is one offer listed for that. I offered $200, his counter for that 30 minutes later was $700. I have a feeling he can even do somewhere around $400.

Exactly, and the best thing that this does is show price trending on ebay for future sellers. It's a keyboard, not a block of gold.
