Bought before you posted this, people, grab them while you can, these are great boards with great keycaps.

Worth it for the caps alone
wow nice find
sweet pickups guys
I also find it intriguing that they are fitted with Clears. A welcome change from boring Blacks these old boards come with.

This is peasant fodder for PhotekqThey're a good source for clears. The ones in the board I had were pretty smooth. You'll find that some of the boards he sells are pristine and others are dog****. Shame these were never made with ANSI caps!

Also the last Skidata on ebay was sold for 60€ + some shipping. I think they are not THAT rare.
I think they are not THAT rare.Yeah, because of this seller. He has a monopoly on the supply. Seriously, I've seen about 2-5 found aside from the ones this guy sells. I reckon he must have had 100s originally.

Yeah definitely email them to get a lower price. I did.

yeah the vintage clears were a pretty big factor for meI wouldn't call them vintage. Old/worn in. I have some unfortunate news for you though.. Diodes! Have fun desoldering it!
I remember hearing you say that you thought that they were pretty decent (maybe it was the livestream?)

time to get the desoldering gun out

Are these boards even plate mounted? One could harvest caps, sliders, switch tops without desoldering anything.
The clears they came with are really smooth. Seems like some of them were prelubed.
There is a good discussion to be found on Deskthority about this seller. They were about $50 until he realized keyboard enthusiasts were willing to pay much more.

Eh little more time desoldering :)

Yup :/ I paid 50 EUR for the first one and 60 EUR for this. Shipping to me was rather expensive. I would have paid 100€ each easily. Very good condition, very high quality caps and way better than ISO UK for me. This over any new ISO UK GMK set anytime.

Should be arround 30€ shipping, if the board is <5kg, if I read correctly.

i got the last :p
he is, and he's raising the price every time they sell or enough people ask about it. I hope some of the crap he's hawking burns his shop down.He's a commercial vendor and he's making profit by applying the trivial rule of "higher the demand, higher the price". It might be annoying to pay more for something that was cheaper but calling him names and wishing him disasters won't get you any discount.

I know it won't, but neither has emailing him. And either way he was making a profit. I can hate on him just like anyone else can hate on ticketmaster for having a monopoly on a product, and price gauging it.
So just don't buy them at these high prices. He will soon enough lower them again.
If someone's not going to be using the switches from one of these boards, I'd love a set of Clears from them. Neatly desoldered or attached to PCB, either way.

I guess purchases from this guy need to cool down :(
