[FS] Alps Blue & Monterey Blue
« on: Fri, 15 July 2016, 00:16:51 »
Hello everyone,

Up for sale is one ARC keyboard w/ Monterey Blue switches, as pictures following detail.  The picture unit is the one for sale.

Condition is decent, with moderate yellowing, minor discolouration, and negligible dust accumulation.  There are a few dark spots on the case that do not coming off with a mild soap and gentle scrubbing.  All buttons have been tested to be functional.  The AT -> PS/2 adapter is included.





Please do not hesitate to ask any questions here or through PM; I will do my best to answer every one of them.  If additional photographs are desired, I will happily oblige, but they are all taken by potato.  :geek:

Asking for £85 excl. shipping, which will be by Canada Post or courier as negotiated with buyer.  Buyer responsible for 13% HST if buying within Ontario or other VAT/GST/PST or other taxes duties levies and fees as applicable within each province.





£100 exclus. shipping...

Looks like Canada based on mention of Ontario and also the profile location. Real shame, I've fallen in love with that Monterey board but shipping to UK will likely bump the price up quite a way.

I'm interested in the Alps board myself. Maybe we could combine shipping  :thumb:

Sure, that sounds like something we can look into. Let's see if OP will respond first :)

The seller, just wondering why he mentions taxes.

I'm still keen on the Alps board if you can get another Monterey one the same shipment. Otherwise could you find out how much it would cost to ship the alps board to the UK?

Thanks!

Hi there. Is the Leading Edge board still available? What condition are the switches in? Could you check to see how much shipping would be to the north-eastern US?
Roses are red, violets are blue. They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

Ah, I'm sorry.  That item has been sold, but I think I may have another Blue Alps keyboard coming up, if you want them just for the switches.
