This is a beauty that won't last long:

Man. Does it really cost $25 to ship items now days?

I wish!

Sending a keyboard in a priority mail box for things shaped like keyboards is around $19. I'd expect 2 day FedEx for $25. A perfectly packaged keyboard is a bit awkward in size...much like a poster or art in a tube.

I'm going to hold off on this one just b/c I have several white alps boards now. Also, I see a few on r/mm for around $80 shipped. But it's pretty :)

Really? 101s? Those are the only true US ANSI layouts and are much harder to find without yellowed keys.

What is that fascination with the ANSI layout anyway?

Here’s one. This guy says he has a lot of them and plans to slowly sell them off

Nope, it didn't. Definitely underpriced.
I love eBay's "We found something similar" feature:

Right—like those keebs are anything alike, huh?

Yes, this one would cost that much. Omnikeys are particularly prized for their weight and stability—they're the "tanks" of Alpses.
Of course if this seller knew about USPS's flat-rate Priority Mail "Game Board" boxes, he could send it anywhere in the US for around $18. It's mostly a keeb-geek thing, though.
