Title: Cherry G80-5000HAAUS, ANSI layout. Kinda pricey though at $1500 OBO
Post by: jacobolus on Thu, 14 January 2016, 23:50:42: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201498198065

I’m still hoping someone in the SF Bay Area will bring one of these to a meetup someday so I can try it.

$1500 is a bit out of my price range though. :-)

Looks like it was $600 OBO and he accepted an offer.

$1500 lol

If I could I'd try to offer around 350 or heck maybe even 500. I think this is the real "squid" collectors are after tho, and is hoping to bank on that.

Post by: orihalcon on Fri, 15 January 2016, 13:43:19: The original list price was $600, then he modified the listing my guess when he saw all the hits he was getting.

"Friend" bought it for $350, didn't pay because reasons, and now it's back for $1500.

Post by: ander on Sat, 16 January 2016, 22:17:13: If people can post here about something like this, why can't I post about a non-existent Space Cadet for $300 OBO? It's practically the same in terms of real-world usefulness, isn't it?

They are the first ever board that mx browns were put into. They have the best mx browns you could ever type on, that price is outrageous though since they normally go for ~$350 possibly higher.

Post by: Karura on Sun, 17 January 2016, 14:42:30: These keyboards command a premium at $300, but not at $1500, which is just this seller up-pricing it.

It's similar to seeing those industrial IBM SSKs being listed at $1500, but no one buying it for months. (or ever).

Without a doubt. Makes me wonder why they waste the money on eBay fees even listing these boards.
