I remember when Brian first started selling those I had to email him to tell him what those symbols were. (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?p=95002&highlight=apl#post95002)Show Image(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=9840&stc=1&d=1273419710)
I pulled my keys off of a 1319401 (I won't mention how much less I paid because that would be rude). And stuck em on my mini for some mix&match fun.Show Image(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=9839&stc=1&d=1273419428)
I suspect that the "provenance" of some of Brian's "refurbished" keyboards can be a bit suspect because he regularly swaps keys and assemblies around. If he says "refurbished" it could be a mix and match special. My "Bernie Madoff" special on the other hand has impeccable credentials. Shearson Brothers was a Wall Street firm that was bought out.
SK, just giving you a hard time - you're gonna like those APL keyboards. I'd say after all the mods and keyboards you've collected in such a short time you've reached Senior Geekhacker status which allows us to point out minor defects in any keyboard you post.
Webwit insults the broken foam and watermarks on my NIB keyboards and I point out his Kolorful KBDMania Koordinated Koolaid Kolor schemes. CH123 will be along any minute to tell you the Model Number is wrong and ItlnStln will figure out SOMETHING.
P.S. I just looked up how much I paid for mine mint condition (different seller). Wow, did I get a GOOD DEAL! (that's for Kishy) :biggrin1:

Wow. Those Model M's are such a steal at 80 bucks... (sarcasm)

This is not a cheap hobby for the most part. Just accept it, and if you get a bargain, bonus.

One day you will shock us all, and not butt into a thread with negative derogatory comments about something that doesn't quite fit into your narrow little view of the world.
I wouldn't pay the prices going being asked for a Mini (And I like my numpad), but at no point would it even occur to me to go barging into a thread a start ripping (or trolling, take your pick) those who are happy to pay it.

Meh. I paid $120 for Brian's first Industrial Space Saver, but it was a "loyal customer" price, and he's smart because I told him he should charge at least $200 or better auction them, and I posted about it on geekhack. The next 4 he sold for $200 in a very short amount of time. I knew he had one left, hidden away, which he later sold to me for a, ehm, special price of $320. I think auctioned they make much more than that. The first one was shipped to me "uncleaned" for speed, and they are pretty much NIB without the box. Current value: whatever the biggest lunatic pays for it on ebay.
We should all feel comfortable with fellow Geekhackers expressing an opinion one way or the other. That would the true spirit of forum brotherhood :)
Hmmm......just like that I'm a Senior member LOL.
Did you catch my pics of the newest additions to the family?? Or the subsequent digs Webwit shot at you??

MW has lost his edge ever since he was usurped by Lavender guy.
Definitely got to get me an APL board one of these days...
Why not just buy a set of the APL caps from Unicomp?

Poor Chuck. Instead of working on that Unicomp Mini he's gonna be spending all his time over a dye sublimation machine.
BTW - the APL keys I have are the BOLDEST of all the IBM/Unicomp keys I own.

You know, it's funny when people get all riled up when they're notified that something's a rip-off. And what's even funnier is how they defend the outrageously high price and then bash the the guy who told him the product wasn't worth that much.
You see, I'm just notifying people that when Mr. Crappy-Customer-Support goes selling a used keyboard that's still made for the same price as a new one, it might not be the best deal on the planet.
This is not a cheap hobby for the most part. Just accept it, and if you get a bargain, bonus.I can't quarrel with such a keyboard being rare, and hence sought after.
Did ch_123 create this monster?? Cuz he sure did here:

I take credit for dead breasts, thank you very much.
That's right. Credit due where credit is deserved. I'm boxing a little sumthin sumthin for you right now.
I'm trying to be excited, but there's rain in my basement :(
At least it's not sugar in your gas tank.
Jeez, this thread went downhill fast.
BTW, Lavender Guy (Nonmouse) is cool.
What good is lavender if you don't have a lavender IBM?Show Image(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=9937&stc=1&d=1273620064)
That sent a shiver down my spine.
That colour doesn't belong on computers.
