I am truly curious as to how much a new CM QFR w greens will fetch in the open market. These don't seem easy to move on geekhack, but maybe the general public begs to differ.

So you think Geekhackers hate these keyboards for some reason? 

They're at least using the GREEN-GOD cherry switches which is near perfection in the world of Cherry hardware, so that should be worth something to someone out there.

More likely they're just seen as "entry-level" or just not what people here are looking for with regard to their regular use board. Plus MX Greens have the same problem as MX Blues and buckling springs -- they're loud, and that means that even if you were willing to buy it to replace the ****ty Dell rubber dome you were using at work, your co-workers would remove your hands by the end of the first week you used it.

ok, at $66, still less than geekhack price.
