Is this a valuable keyboard?

Hello! I cleaned up my family's warehouse and found a box containing a keyboard.
Does anyone know what this keyboard is?

There are a few more keyboards, but they didn't seem to be worth it.
I don't know the exact value because it runs from $ 9.99 to $ 125 on eBay.
Is this a valuable keyboard? I don't want to see my family angry.

Is there a label on the back side? Take a photo of it if possible.

It can't hurt to post photos of the other keyboards.

he posted a pic of the back it's a g81 3077 sau

keycaps are worth a good amount, look up "NCR dyesubs"

keyboard itself not so much I don't think? people do want them to convert to g80 though so maybe that would affect its value since the case itself is desireable

If this has OG dye sub then congrats, you found a valuable piece. Selling OG dye sub keycaps alone can get $300!!

The keyboard itself, given that it is g81 so MY switches, I say is worth about $3

Thanks for the answer! I would have been in big trouble if I had thrown this away.

The two-toned industrial sort of case is also desirable (100-150 USD or so per for the 3077 ver in great shape) but much more niche. It only really appeals to those looking to do custom builds with 3000-based PCBs or who'd otherwise want to do a case swap.

Nice find though!
