Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Interesting.  Same guy as the last Aussie SSK sale.  Perhaps he has a stockpile...

(It's not the same keyboard from last sale, different serial #)

If I were in his shoes, after I had determined the current "going rate" I would sell the rest at that fixed price.

Auctions are not a sure thing, and my experience is that the price might or might not rise after the first sale, but usually drops sharply after the second.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

I'm waiting for the day some warehouse gets liquidated and a few thousand get unloaded on ebay at $50 a pop :D
