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

I'm in Wisconsin but only have a car.  I'll see if I can borrow something that can contain all of this.

A car would probably be fine as most of it will be garbage

Looks like 4 pallets of vintage rubber domes. But an Apple Extended II might be hiding in there.

If there are only a couple of decent boards in there you can probably rent a truck and still come out ahead...

I had a sig once but it's gone. It used to display an icon of a Kinesis. Just imagine that.

I spot one Dell Quietkey. There may be more.
Those Apple keyboards are not mechanical.

At this point in time there are only a couple vintage keyboards that interest me and I highly doubt that any of them would be in that pile of crap. Although you never know.

Go to your local HAM / electronics swap meet / e-waste recycler and you can sort through piles of junk like this to your heart's content. AND you won't need to PAY to remove the crap you don't want.

I live a thousand miles away, so it is out of reach for me.

It would only take a couple of nice finds to pay for this lot, assuming that it does not go to high.

Donate what you don't need to charity and take a tax write-off.


PS - where is that crazy woman that did the gigantic artworks out of keyboard parts?

Doesn't seem like such a wet dream if you're going to be covered in rubbers.

I'll get my coat.  Because it's wet.  Out there in the dream.

I imagine most of it is complete crap. Sure there are at least a few Apple Alps boards, and a few that look Chicony that might be mechanical. Now if they said crates of Cherry G80... a totally different story.
If anyone here does go for this, and wins, an empty trunk would probably be enough. I would just sort it there, put the good boards in the trunk and leave.

Not me.  Family emergency took me out of the bidding before my first bid.
