Northgate Omnikeys are usually White Alps and are well built boards.

"Reserve not met" is stupid and probably implies a fairly high bottom price.

True, but you never know.

Yeah, I've noticed people seem to not even try to get to the reserve price. Even if someone else's listing is starting at the same price as the reserve price those sell just fine while the reserve one does not.

Sold for $50 + shipping.  I'm not too up to date on current pricing for these, but it seems reasonable.

Did anyone notice at what price the reserve seemed to have been set?

I love Northgates but this is less desirable because of the layout. The 101 with true-ANSI is the one to have, in my opinion.

The bigass enter is less objectionable with a full-size backspace, but the lack of function keys at the top is a problem for a lot of people.

Personally, I like the left function keys, but it is nice having both.

See I'd say the exact opposite, I like the ANSI enter least of all enters and the bigass one the most. Guess it's a matter of opinion :) .
