[SIZE=14]PRICE DROPPED ON THE G80-8200LUBUS[/SIZE]

Currently taking best offer, sale or trade, for one (or more) boards. Trades I would be interested in are compact, tactile, clicky boards, preferably with NKRO. Local pickup in southern California is preferred, and local pickup customers may get increased priority.

Unless otherwise noted, all of these boards have been thoroughly cleaned (inside, outside, and keycaps) and are fully functional.

Northgate Omni Key ULTRA (DIP switches under logo) - $100 OBO
White complicated ALPS, PS/2, NKRO, Doubleshot keys
Foam was inserted to reduce back-plate flexing. I will include the original angled PS/2 to AT cable, but you will need your own AT to PS/2 adapter.

Cherry G80-8200LUBUS - $60 OBO
Cherry brown, USB, 2KRO, Lasered keys
New in open box.

Kinesis Model 110 (1994) - $75 OBO
Cherry brown, PS/2, NKRO, Doubleshot keys
This board has experienced a lot of wear. Everything is clean, but many of the keycaps are smooth and shiny from extended use. There are also some hairline cracks around various parts of the case, but nothing that would be a structural issue. Keep in mind that for this early revision firmware, you can’t disable the audible click sound in software – a hardware mod to de-solder the speaker would probably be required. No PS/2 cable included.

NOTE: I won't sell you this guy unless you review detailed pics of the key wear and case damage for me. Send me your offer and I will send you high resolution images of any problem areas I find.

BSR (Datatrain) GJJ4AKEAT-1010DS - $25 OBO
Futaba, PS/2, 2KRO, Doubleshot keys
This is basically an AT-only Datatrain. The only issue is some cracking of the cord insulation near the keyboard casing.

Cherry G84-4101SPAUS - SOLD
Cherry ML, PS/2, 2KRO, Dyesub keys
This is the earlier, dyesub version without Windows keys. It is in like new condition, the keycaps are basically unworn as there was a keyboard cover installed. Both of the angle adjustment feet are there, some foam was inserted to reduce PCB flexing.

BONUS:
NCR G81-3000 keyboard housing. If you’d like, I’ll include it for free with a full-sized keyboard trade / purchase (given that I have enough room in the box to ship it).

not to be a ****, but how's this different from an auction? I'm not saying auction is not allowed here (I don't see why it should be though as it is forbidden in practically all the forums I go to) but wouldn't it be better just to state an asking price instead? Someone might not know the value of something and possibly lowball.

Oh ok. Well let me fix that then.

Sure. I'd pay $10 + $60 shipping for it too.

I've got dibs on the Kinesis!

Interested in the Datatrain and the NCR case. What type of stuff are you looking for? I would prefer to trade rather than buy. Also I am in Germany, do you even ship here?

I'm willing to ship anywhere depending on your transaction reputation. Also, smokin still has dibs on the Kinesis and laden has dibs on the BSR until I can get them some quotes.

Sixty, send me your offer anyways, I'm looking for compact boards with clicky-tactile switches for trade.

i'm very interested in the kinesis after smokinwaffle

REVENGE · « **Reply #11 on:** Fri, 18 March 2011, 17:54:11 »

I'm very sorry about the lack of activity in the past two days. Paper due tonight means keyboard activity will have to get pushed to this weekend, don't think I've forgotten about you guys!

Also, there will be another Kinesis available for sale shortly. Smokin will still have first choice between the two, they differ only by the condition they are in.

jfaulken · « **Reply #12 on:** Wed, 23 March 2011, 00:02:59 »

I guess 'thirdsies' on one of the Kinesiseses? If smokinwaffle and pikapika fall through

REVENGE · « **Reply #13 on:** Fri, 25 March 2011, 02:50:04 »

Here's the deal: if Smokin doesn't get back to me by Monday, both the older Kinesis that's listed above AND another one with almost no wear will go up for sale. They'll be re-listed with better pics in the original post. If interested, send me a PM at that time, no need to reply to this thread.

REVENGE · « **Reply #14 on:** Mon, 28 March 2011, 14:59:58 »

Update: Kinesis still tentatively held for Smokin while he works out some computer problems. The G80-8200LUBUS has been given a price drop.
