“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

Wow. Nice Apple collection! That lot is a treasure chest for Apple collectors. Each board is a classic Apple keyboards of significance and is mechanical. (Alps)

The compact board looks like a Apple Desktop Bus Keyboard. It was the first one with ADB protocol and came with the Apple IIgs.

The Apple Extended Keyboard has clicky Alps. Most Apple Extended Keyboard II have dampened "Cream" Alps, but some have other switches. Matias' keyboards are like modern clones of these boards (Tactile Pro and Quiet Pro respectively)

The Apple Adjustable Keyboard has low-profile Alps keys. Too bad that the separate numeric keypad is not included.

I would definitely have bid on them if I was in the US. Overseas shipping would be too much for me.
Good luck to the bidders!
