Is this old DATATECH SPK-100 Keyboard worth anything?
« on: Wed, 17 September 2014, 00:44:45 »
Hi, I'm new here. I found this old keyboard that I threw up on eBay. There is literally nothing on the internet about this keyboard so I'm hoping that it's worth a lot  ;D.

Well, you're actually on a good path.

Looks like Blue ALPS switches, which are coveted. 

Also has some interesting keycaps-- clearly double shot, but that 1.75x Ctrl could be worth a little extra to someone.

Blue Alps? It’s totally worthless. You should just mail the keyboard to me.

sweet metal back panel as well.

Blue alps + good construction = winner for sure. Maybe not as good as legendary northgate quality, but I would say it's worth something.

8 hours for what?

On his ebay auction for the board he used this thread to ask about or advertise however you want to look at it. Of course there's no link given but in the future there is a member ebay link sub-forum here http://geekhack.org/index.php?board=161.0

I would get someone to proxy this to me but they would just steal it instead and refund me
