$50 is quite a bit for a Focus especially one with win keys. Good keyboard imo.

This one was listed for $33 at one time:

If you live in AZ you can try my keyboards. I usually keep plenty of different ALPS and MX and buckling springs.

Maybe not a great deal but not seeing any better out there right now... and the picture is cool, hah.  The one you linked to isn't cheaper now and doesn't show free shipping.  In fact for me it states I'd have to contact the seller to find out shipping costs.  Wonder why he raised the price so much?  Right now this one on geekhack seems better than either.

Winkeyless ones are preferred. I believe none of the ones with win keys have complicated ALPS. That guy that has it listed as $75 BIN would still probably accept $33 offer I don't see why he wouldn't if he previously had it for BIN $33.

The focus is one of my favorite boards but I would only pay $15 for one with out the cover and mabey $20-30 with cover and winkeyless. I got 2 for $11.50 locally.

That guy always seems to list too high. Not by a whole lot though.
