Acer KB-101A - Totally standard layout with Complicated Blue Alps

[RoflCopter4]

I've been eyeing this one for a week or so now and I think I've finally decided that I just cannot afford this. For the price of $150 plus $50 shipping (if you're Canadian) this honest to god standard layout with real complicated blue Alps switches can be yours. Cheaper if you're American, of course, as is just about everything else. I don't know if this is a fair price but given that blue Alps tend to get snatched up pretty quickly and considering that this has been up for over a week, it may be a bit high.

Dat Yellow

Dat Yellow

I gotta say, I don't mind the yellow. I do, however, very much mind the $50 shipping. I'd get it if he were shipping by FedEx or something, but no, this is just what you get when you use that horrid eBay international shipping thing.

Had my eye on this...but really only need the switches.  Pretty pricey for a donor.

Pretty pricey for a donor.

The buyer for this should be somebody who wants a true ANSI board but does not own a soldering iron.

[RoflCopter4]

Yeah, this doesn't really seem suited for being a donor board. It's already in the ideal layout and it's price reflects that.

It's still stupidly overpriced considering that I've seen better build boards go for much less than $175.

I've seen better build boards

Yes, most of those ancient boards are extremely well-built, but they all have screwy layouts.

my .99 packard bell ansi white alps board is total beef cake.  It feels like the model M of alps boards

Daaaaaang.  Nice layout in a blue ALPS board.

Damn, I would have been able to afford this a few hours ago. Too bad I just spent $80 on a DT225 trackball.

[RoflCopter4]

I also really want it, but factoring in shipping and the ****tiness of the Canadian dollar the total would come to around $215, which is just madness.
