And already 13 bids. With 6 hours shy of a week left...

Doesn't look like beamspring keyboards are getting any cheaper any time soon.

And there are stickers all over it. Time to get out the nylon scraper (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71958.0).

That's more than I paid for my Audi. EDIT: PLUS its first MOT.

Holy cow. I'm sorry, but as cool as those boards are, that seems a little overboard.

It's not even the best or rarest or most interesting model of beamspring. I mean it's an incredibly good keyboard, don't get me wrong, but jeez Oo .

I wouldn't consider paying over $500 for one of these. At these prices I should start dropping leaflets from an airplane so I can find some good deals locally.

Well, it does lack a few features such as power steering, petrol injection, a right wing mirror, and a boot that opens xD . It's a cool car though, I love oldies ^^ .
