For the second auction in this series of new-hardware-fundraising, iMav is auctioning off a brand new in box Truly Ergonomic model 104 with MX Blue switches (yes, the discontinued model!) and printed keys.

The keyboard in question is pictured below:

(wait for it...)
1729-0

(BAM)
1727-1

(yes, it is truly ergonomic)
1723-2

(Famous Cherry Blues)
1725-3

This keyboard has many potential uses:

1) box can be used for entertaining cats
2) being very ergonomic
3) it clicks!
4) cat on keyboard too

Auction Details:

This is a charity auction. 100% of the proceeds of this auction will be donated to geekhack.

This is a public auction. Post your bid as a reply below. The highest bid at the end of the auction will win the keyboard. I will personally pay for shipping anywhere in the CONUS; international shipping must be covered by the international auction winner. (TENTATIVE, SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

This auction has a reserve of 200$ (TENTATIVE, SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

This auction will end at 12:01am, Tuesday August 14th, Samoa (Apia) time (GMT +13).

At the end of the auction, I will contact the highest bidder by PM, and they will have 24 hours to remit their donation. If an eligible donation is not remitted, I will go down the list of highest bids until a donator steps forward.

Happy bidding!!

Reserve is $200, might as well have fun with it until then!

$100 + $4.20 = $104.20

Sorry, I didn't mean to kill the bidding. What if we make it interesting. I'll raise it to $325.

I wouldn't mind having the TE w/blues but I really have been meaning to make a contribution and haven't been able to figure out how to.

I killed the last one in a similar style!

Is kurplop just trolling? He has outbid himself 3 times after being told he can't do that. Oh well, as long as he pays if he wins, everything is fine. I foresee him doing it a fourth time before the end.
