What is the current market value of a used, not very clean Apple Extended Keyboard II?  Saw one today, but I didn't buy it.  It was missing the cable.

Thanks ripster.  It was kind of dirty so I didn't pick it up.

I paid $7 for one in that condition. An S-Vid cable works just as well as an actual ADB cable, for reference.

There was a basketful of Mac keyboards.  The only mech keyboard was that.  I did pick up a like new cherry g80 from a rack-mount KVM.  The black cherry double shots look like new.

I sold an AEK2 on bay for about $15 but I had worked on cleaning it so that it looked pretty good, and it took a couple of weeks. Had the cable, too.

A few months ago somebody sold a dozen ADB-to-USB adapters on ebay for $10 each instead of the usual $40-50. With that, you can actually use the AEK or AEK2 on a modern computer, so the deal becomes much sweeter. Without the adapter, they are hard to sell.

I like the AEK with pink ("salmon", according to my daughter, and she would know) Alps better than the AEK2 with whites.
