That is a good price I don't think it will last too long. I picked mine up here in the classifieds for $150  about 6 months ago to give you an idea of price.

popol...your avatar is really disturbing man.  Freaking me out, in fact.

Back on topic.  I bought mine in mint condition that was freshly bolt modded, with new springs for $200 shipped (shipping alone is like $20 domestically for this heavy chunk of metal).  This was considered a good price at the time, so...deals like this don't really come around too often.  You can easily expect to pay over $200 these days.

This is what it looks like now :)

Over 200 wow. That's out of my league. I've been wanting one too but they are a bit pricey. Perdy though.

They're highly sought and hard to find so expect to pay a premium... Insert supply and demand blah blah blah chart

Yup, those are all Unicomp keycaps.  I called because I like the personal customer service.  I'm also worried about ordering off their website because it still seems like a 90's website, and I'm just not down with that lol

The most I paid was $355 for a NIB SSK.  The cheapest one I paid was $30 local pickup.  Was a bit dirty, but after I cleaned it inside out, it looks like new now.
