Here is a great find,
Vintage Acer kb-101a keyboard (skcm blue alps) $360.00 + $15 ship.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Acer-kb-101a-keyboard-skcm-blue-alps-/182599398982?hash=item2a83c5b646:g:v~YAAOSwY3BZLh5A
From the seller:
"This board was originally meant to be a custom SKCM amber alps build - but after trying it out for a few weeks, I decided amber alps are a little too harsh for me. I spent a lot of time on this board making it look nice - here are the things I did to improve the board:
- hand cleaned each blue alps switch
- sand-blasted and painted the switch mounting plate
- replaced the thin ABS acer caps with double shot Tai Hao switches for the RGB writing on some modifier keys
- replaced the spacebar switch with an SKCM amber switch
- replaced the broken cable that came with the board (the current cable is from an acer 6011)"

Nice! I think this is about what they're expected to cost these days though, isn't it?

yea, not much of a deal. At $200 it'd be more "great find" territory imo

This keyboard belongs to Gainsborough @ DT. I believe he was asking $300 on the forum for members but had set the eBay listing to a higher amount.

$300 shipped (CONUS)! :thumb:
Might decide to come down soon, though.
