Newbie here.  I actually won this auction and it is on its way to me :-).  Probably a little over the going price for a used one.  $110 + $10 S/H.  But it is cheaper than buying a new one from Amazon because I would have to pay $14 tax.

From the pics it looks quite good for used.

Received the keyboard last week.  The Seller shipped it the same day and well packaged.  It came with all the parts that came with the keyboard (key puller, WASD key, red ESC key).  The keyboard is over 1 year old.  Many keys are shiny and worn.  the shell of the keyboard and all the switches are in great shape.  I pulled all the keys out and washed them with dish soap.  I also used compressed air to blow out all the crap in the keyboard and wiped down the the whole shell.  I didn't break the seal to open it up for a deeper clean, though.  It types great.  I still like the Cherry blues more, though.

For the price I wish the condition was better.  But it seems these tenkeyless Filco keyboards are very hard to find in the States.  So I suppose it was an OK deal, not a great deal.

I think I am being tempted with Topre Realforce... ;)

I was emailing that guy, trying to get him to lower the price and take better pictures of it, but you bought it.  My fears of the condition were sound, sorry it's not like he made it out to be.

It was kind of yucky before I cleaned it.  Now it is fine.  It is an Otaku, so there are no letters to wear off other then some shine on the keys.  I did order a new white 37 key cap set (letters) and a yellow 28 key cap set (numbers and F1-F12) so my keyboard will look pretty colorful if not too weird looking :-)

If I received the keyboard in that condition I would have been extremely upset.  Gently used, LNIB keyboard with worn keys and gunk?  Yeah, I'll never buy used off ebay.

After you got that I ordered a Leopold Otaku and I'm very happy with it.  New, clean, and the key caps and board have a nice smooth feel.
