Good ol' scarry-garcia.  Too bad he's charging about 10-15 times what these are worth.  You could get these for $10 NIB.  These keyboards don't age well.  Used models are generally pretty bad to type on.

personally, I wouldn't pay more then 10$ for one, and I'm one of the rare folks that actually like black alps^^.
Typical case of a seller thinking mechanical=big bucks. Sadly, I'm sure someone uneducated on the matter, wanting to join the mechanical keyboard club, will end up buying one of these.

True that.  I think I ended up selling mine for $20 each.  That said, I wouldn't pay more than about $1 for a used one.  In fact, I would probably go for a rubber dome over a used AT-101W.

You'd even use a Logitrash G15 (Garbage-15) keyboard?
 
 
I've used the big old Dell keyboards and they aren't that bad. But I'd say some of my good rubber domes are better. The original Dell Quietkey keyboards are some of the best rubber domes out there.
