325lbs of keyboards up for auction. $75 starting bid. Don't see anything great from the picture but might be worth going over and looking at for someone in that area.

How bad would it be if they were all rubber dome? It seems like they might be. 300+ pounds of garbage you have to find a place to get rid of lol...

yeah, it's be worth it if there were like 5+ Dell AT101s or a few Model Ms, but judging by the fact that they are mostly black keyboards, I feel like that would be unlikely...

I'd definitely want to go do an inspection first, but if someone is in that area it might be worth a look.

Are gambles such as this not allowed btw? I don't think I'm breaking rules for the board but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Certainly, if they can see them before bidding that is good.

Absolutely nothing wrong with posting this, I was just sharing my opinion :)

if it was a holy grail of keyboard piles id rent a truck van for a day and drive the 3.5 hours to get it, but it looks like its all rubber domes.

I thought about making the drive down to look at these. That was before I learned it was a 4 hr drive. Probably all rubber domes anyway, most likely all taken from one place at the same time
