Title: Desko Keyboard $94.97 OBO +Shipping
Post by: nubbinator on Fri, 08 August 2014, 21:21:02
Not a phenomenal deal, especially considering most the ones I've seen use MY switches and  the GHB caps (it feels wrong to type GHB) have a trackpoint between them, making them less than ideal for all but the Yoda.  Still, a better price than you usually see for ones in worse condition.

rawko's small collection of deskos have been on ebay at that price for several months now.

I had been watching them until I realized that he never lowers the price when he re-lists.

He's had others on that were missing caps and looked like crap and he was asking a similar price.  I don't remember seeing this one before.  He could have listed it before, but I don't remember seeing this one since it definitely is in better condition than the last ones I saw.

I could be wrong though.

Funny this comes up today. I picked up two deskos from Rawko today as a matter of fact :)

I think they took down the listing. The listing was for 2 desko boards and each was missing a couple of keycaps. Maybe I got lucky but the condition of the caps is pretty good for how dirty the boards appeared. The caps are drying from their denture tab bath as we speak.

I don't want to reveal how much I paid, but I will say it was pretty easy to negotiate a lower price by making offers and counteroffers. I am really pleased with the two sets I got, and they are in pretty good condition. I was surprised to find the dye subs mixed in with the double shots on this set, and the RGB mods are extremely nice.

I am impressed. I understand that these Rawko guys tend to drive a hard bargain.

They will work with you. That's more than I can say for some people I have dealt with before. They wouldn't let me in the warehouse though :(
