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.
“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”
- Franklin Roosevelt 1933
