Title: [eBay] DataHand (RSI)
Post by: 1391406 on Thu, 21 August 2014, 08:47:35
Here's (http://www.ebay.com/itm/DataHand-Ergonomic-Keyboard-RSI-/231311081336?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item35db36ff78) an oldie but a goodie, though it's way out of my price range at $1,900 starting bid PLUS SHIPPING.

I'd love to get one of these too, but that's way out of my price range. It'll be interesting to see if it sells.

What was the original MSRP on these anyway?
Would be nice if I could get insurance to cover this "adaptive" equipment.

I think these were around $1200-$1500, I'm not sure why this one is priced this high.

This one might be one of the newer ones, sold for $900:

It sold for $1900 with 1 bid. Even if I was seriously into collecting keyboards, I'm not sure I'd spend that much. I imagine the value of these will keep creeping up as they get rarer.

Would it have killed him to offer free shipping?

I expect the same, and then value to decrease somewhat once olddatahands gets his new ones working / produced.
