That price seems awful high to me.

 Weren't there going for about half this much not that long ago?

This should be much cheaper.

Will 7000 caps work on regular boards?

Honestly the only 1800 boards worth remotely this are the g80's w/good beige doubleshots.

Edit: this board's code indicates doubleshot caps as well (probably pad printed windows keys) and is $20: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHERRY-MY7000-G81-7000HPUS-2-Keyboard-w-Credit-Card-Reader-8-Pin-/161980356974

This one has the same caps and is significantly cheaper: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHERRY-MY7000-G81-7000HPUS-2-Keyboard-w-Credit-Card-Reader-8-Pin-/161980356974 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHERRY-MY7000-G81-7000HPUS-2-Keyboard-w-Credit-Card-Reader-8-Pin-/161980356974)

Yup, that's where I got my WoB caps from. The mod row will be messed up but there's been countless GMK buys and vendors with a kit that will let you complete the set. For $130, I could get 3 sets of 7000 caps which are the same Cherry Doubleshot caps and buy a GMK ANSI mods. And maybe have some leftover cash.

Edit: I didn't click on the OP LOL. That's hilarious that the same G81-7XXX boards have drastically different prices. And yes, G81-XXXX keyboards with MY switches have the same MX mount as G80-XXXX boards so you can use the caps on your MX switches.

$118 + shipping? Holy crap. There were a bunch of similar boards with WoB doubleshots and MX switches for like $20 two years ago.
