Relegendable Keycaps 10 for $1 EUR + shipping

Google translate says:

10 transparent keycaps for IBM Model M Keyboard Keyboard Clicky click

http://www.ebay.com/itm/161142941234

Doesn't ship to US, but even with shipping at a couple of euros still seems like a decent price.

EDIT: Also note it says, translated: "You buy 10 removable transparent keycaps with base that can be inscribed for IBM PS / 2 keyboards with removable keycaps e.g. 1391401, 1391403, etc. Model M Click / Clicky (Buckling Spring)     There are in addition to the 10 key caps another key caps available"

So maybe he has more available apart from these 10.  Perhaps someone fluent in German can ask him some questions.

Would someone be able to proxy? And are these OEM IBM?

Chances are I won't end up bidding. If you don't find a German proxy I'll happily help you out.

They appear to be IBM Generation 1 or 2 transparent keycap tops. Generation 3 or 4 will fit better, but these are not yellowed, as many gen 1 keycaps are.

aren't you located in England?

I'm very interested, and I could use plenty of relegendables.

Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Yes, for $2.75 a key if they're even in stock. 

Fentek sells them too, $17.50 for 10 and I think that's only the cap and not the base/stem.
