Good chance for blue Alps here, but might also be white Alps (would help to see a better picture of the label on the back). From the keycaps I don’t think it’s the MX or MX clone version.

Pretty yellowed, so the switches might be in rough shape (or might be totally fine; sometimes yellow plastic doesn’t indicate anything about the switches underneath).

Hmmm either vintage MX blues or ALPS white or ALPS blue; I like the sound of those odds.  ;D

Doesn't matter, will be clicky.

BIN+shipping on the fact that it's a roulette is a bit steep considering the condition but if somebody is able to win w/ a single bid would be decent.

Seller raised the opening price $19 -> $29 and the buyout from $32 -> $52, lol.

I asked him to pull a keycap, so we’ll see.

If you bet money you would be a happy man. Seller just responded, they're whites.
