Notorious manufacturer, fugly design, non stock keycaps, used, seller has zero feedback.

$111.50 and counting.

I wish I could sell all the inferior keyboards I have this way.

BTW, not trying to sell my stuff, but I really think a split matrix layout on two smaller keyboards is far superior to this TEK layout.

Considering these sell for $250 new and many people like them, seems like a fair price for a lightly used one with the original box &c.

If you have keyboards that you bought new within the last 2–3 years for >$200, still in good working order, I’m sure you could resell them for a substantial portion of their sale price.

Here are some excellent reasons why this is a ‘good’ deal:

Still hoping I can talk more people into trying out GH36 as a split matrix keyboard instead of craptastic stuff like TECK where the customer service doesn't exist until you file paypal complaint. It’ll have most of the standard layout or keycap commonality sorely lacking on the TECK, with the advantages of greater reliability, better customer service (known as Geekhack Help Thread or PM Samwisekoi) and programmability.

Inferior keyboards and new >$200 not quite compatible... actually my only inferior keyboards remaining are those I bought cheap and modded for fun. The rest I won't consider inferior, just too odd to be marketable. EG if I could cover most of my costs on Tipro I would be happy to sell my new, unused one (since I modded my other one and didn't kill it in the process) but I just don't see how I can get 3/5 of my costs covered. (Costs from USA were about $100, but who's gonna pay $60 for a Tipro when shipping will add another $40?)
