Might be worth $200 tops if it was brand new - and even then that's generous.

A lot of people seem to think they can hit the lottery on ebay. I expect to see this one coming up in searches for a very long time, at least until it comes down to under $100

True, but ncbound10 usually knows his market.

Keep in mid it does have the "old" dell logo and doubleshots, hence dante's " generous $200" appraisal.

If the Tai-Hao Alps GB goes through:

A new set of Tai-Hao doubleshots = $25-$30 shipped
A BNIB AT101 w/ Window Key = $35-$55 on Ebay from time to time
Salmon Alps = $0/Free - $50
Someone to solder it all together = $0 - $50

I know it's personal preference - but I don't find the AT101 to be lust worthy.  At $1,295 you're in KingSaver territory.

At $1295, you're into 'holiday in Korea to pick up said kingsaver' territory.

You'll have to acquire them in the classifieds or ebay; most likely in a board.

Anyone who wants an old-logo Dell keyboard should get the Alps OEM’d kind with PBT dye-subs, instead of the Silitek version.

Personally, I'm surprised we don't see a lot more action on the similar SGI boards-- even the ones which can't talk a PC-compatible protocol.  They'd be worth getting for the caps and potentially to mod the much-cooler-looking case to take cheap and functional AT101W guts.

Isn't that just because they don't seem to turn up?

They tend to sell fairly fast. Here’s the only one currently on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261508723336

How is that price even remotely justifiable? Granted, it's an old logo Dell complete with double shot caps and Salmon Alps, but I don't see anywhere near $1,295.00 here. ncbound's prices are typically on the high side, but he's gone way over the top.

The same keyboard (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-AT101-Old-Logo-Clicky-Keyboard-w-Alps-SKCM-Salmon-Switches-GYI3PVAT101-/390827908790?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item5aff289eb6) sold for $149.99 not two months ago. Granted, it has more yellowing but come on.
