Looking to buy an MKC Blank Zinc Keycap Set, like one of those pictured below. I'm located in the U.S. and have a registered PayPal account. Drop a message here, or PM me so we can discuss a price.
Thanks for looking!

a partial set is fairly common but a full set is quite rare.
I would counsel patience as anyone with a full set is probably collecting it. When he decides to liquidate his collection, which happens to us geekhackers from time to time when someone needs to buy a house or has some medical emergency, you'll get your chance.
I believe SpamRay was like buying a new (or old) keyboard every other day until he needed to buy a new house. I'm still sniggering about it, heh. He actually told me no, his new house is not to store his keyboards in, but I know better. When he gets more floor space he'll be back in the buying business. :))
In the meantime you can wait for SpamRay's moving house sale. Even if he doesn't have an MKC set for sale, you can bet he has a ton of things to sell that he can't remember buying.

I really would advise against buying a full set for $200, you could get a decent aluminum set for that much.
Zinc keys rust and oxidize VERY quickly (within 3 months) and you will be out all that money since they will start flaking off. That said, IIRC the full set was around $80 or something,

Full set is worth quite a bit more than $80.
I'd recommend buying in parts. You can get alphas and mods separately.

My 37-key blank zincs went through 5+ hours of daily use for over 6 months, and they look the same as when I got them.
I bought the full set for $175 (minus shipping) in the classifieds.

Yep guess I was wrong, I remember someone had a lot of trouble with them a year ago, they had pretty much discolored. :) guess they fixed it

The Zinc v1 keycaps had issues with wear after use over time. The Zinc v2 keycaps are much more resistant to wear.
Also bump! Still looking for these caps.

Still looking for these delicious metal caps. Sell'em if you've got'em!
