Is this actually a defective model F barrel for $80 or am I missing something?

It's a collectors piece. :P

Wow—wishful thinking, huh?
-
They weren't selling at $16.95 (or whatever the previous price was), so why not quadruple the price? :p
Don't get me wrong, Ellipse is doing a good thing with his new Model F project, but this I just don't understand. At least sell a non-reject barrel if you're going to sell anything.
Each to their own, I guess. *shrug*

Or free advertising for the actual keyboards?

Or maybe it's the kind of thing where you get so personally invested in a project, it seems as though everything about it is remarkable and valuable?

$80 for a defective barrel? I can only assume he believes these will become a collectors item.

Sorry for the exorbitant price - I can't sell the keyboards yet on eBay because the stock is not in hand. The listing will sell the keyboards once they are in stock and I have fulfilled all orders to date.
If anyone wants one with their keyboard order let me know and I can include one for a few bucks. Or maybe I'll do some giveaways at keycon in a couple weeks?
