Title: G80-5000

Very pricey. But looks in great condition, and the ANSI are hard to find.

Sure beats that $9000 auction (http://www.geek.com/chips/cherry-mx-5000-auction-1491235/). Great find!

Edit: on a related note, here's an MX 5000 $700 BIN/free shipping (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cherry-MX5000-Mechanical-MX-Browns-Ansi-Ergo-Vintage-Ergonomic-Keyboard/201357546723?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3Ddc6355072fbf4993b0da45087995872f%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D271935660884) in case the idea of an auction scares you :p . Not sure how it differs from your find azhdar.

$9000, jesus ... That's a waste of money if you ask me. The board is good and all but not for 9000 bucks.

Not 9K for sure but below 600$ for an ANSI is a "great" price

Seller says it's been used for about 1-2 years but is still in great condition.

The Chinese guys have found it too, so prepare your wallets..

The one that Azhdar linked, has beautiful cherry logo on the top left

Layout to start, the second comes with F13-17 buttons on the left.

Also first one has original box + manual which is very valuable.

The HPMUS is just a newer model with windows keys instead of F-keys on the left side. The newer windows models also have that sticker.

This looks to be the one that has been listed for $700 for the past few months. Still not a good deal, but someone might buy it.
