This is the cheapest I've seen on eBay in a while.

$54.17 shipping, oof.

LOL shipping to Australia is US $436.38 - that's the cheapest option.

keymaster · « **Reply #3 on:** Mon, 08 July 2013, 00:10:30 »

Shipping, of course, depends on your location. It's $30 for shipping to where I live. Also, it's possible to reduce shipping cost by contacting the seller and asking to only have the keyboard shipped.

rowdy · « **Reply #4 on:** Mon, 08 July 2013, 00:14:51 »

Unfortunately it's still in the order of $60 to $80 just for a keyboard.

But $436 is ridiculous

I'll happily mail forward it to you for less than $436. It's only $28.81 to me since it's located in baltimore.

Actually, $78 for one of those isn't bad. Too bad the unit doesn't power on. Still $28 for shipping a 30-lb computer is a good deal.

Sorry, but what is the attraction for this one? Key switches, caps, or... ?

Dolch keycaps be sweet. Switches would just be a bonus.

Techno Trousers · « **Reply #8 on:** Mon, 08 July 2013, 14:32:38 »

Thanks. I should have realized by the group buys on Dolch replica key caps!

TheFlyingRaccoon · « **Reply #9 on:** Mon, 08 July 2013, 16:48:09 »

Shipping isn't that bad for me, I'm considering this. The caps are thick cherry doubleshot and the switches are blue correct?

rowdy · « **Reply #10 on:** Mon, 08 July 2013, 17:02:47 »

Heh ideally you'd get the seller to ship just the keyboard or, preferably, just the keycaps!

Or to dismantle the whole thing and ship switches + keycaps.

Findecanor · « **Reply #11 on:** Mon, 08 July 2013, 21:38:28 »

Ohh.. It is on "Buy it Now". I am surprised that nobody has bought it yet.

The_Beast · « **Reply #12 on:** Mon, 08 July 2013, 21:41:08 »

I made a few offers on other Dolchs today. I got around $150 and $180 shipped, so this is really cheap. I would have bought one of them if I didn't already have a Dolch set ordered from Sherry

are these computers of any use these days? I'm not an IT guy but I have a feeling they're extremely outdated.

SpAmRaY · « **Reply #15 on:** Tue, 09 July 2013, 09:02:12 »

So is getting just the keyboard for around $65 a good deal?

Sure is.

Tarzan · « **Reply #17 on:** Tue, 09 July 2013, 09:19:25 »

It's basically a MX Blue keyboard, right? With those nifty Dolch caps?

$50 is a steal. I made several offers on units, sellers wouldn't take $100 for the keyboard alone. The demand curve must be on low side at the moment. :-)

SpAmRaY · « **Reply #18 on:** Tue, 09 July 2013, 09:26:00 »

If only it had the Dolch logo...I think it's cheaper because its Inet.....

Just an FYI, YMMV, as I'm going to pass on this but the seller will take $65 shipped for just the keyboard but he wont' do it through ebay he wants to send a PayPal invoice instead.

calavera · « **Reply #19 on:** Tue, 09 July 2013, 09:47:52 »

Looks like seller just wants to avoid ebay fees.

zenuty · « **Reply #20 on:** Tue, 09 July 2013, 09:55:59 »

if i lived in usa, already i bought them.

Verry nice price

Are you just wanting the keycaps?

damorgue · « **Reply #22 on:** Tue, 09 July 2013, 10:36:39 »

He wants 407.03 USD for shipping to Sweden as well. Those three cents are what made it too expensive for me

Is that why they always do this? The thing for sure isn't that light. I find it really irritating that they always jack up the shipping but I bet they find the eBay fees even more irritating

Tarzan · « **Reply #24 on:** Tue, 09 July 2013, 10:41:33 »

If anyone needs a proxy, I'm in Virginia, about 100km from the seller's location. I can pick it up and ship off the keyboard to anyone that's interested.

Assuming it's not sold already...

If you want a dolch logo'd dolch case instead of Inet I can send you one

very surprised its still up for sale though... especially when you could make half that cost back or more by selling off the switches and/or PCB if you didn't want them

Well I might have to take you up on that offer.

dorkvader · « **Reply #27 on:** Tue, 09 July 2013, 14:30:29 »

Ok I bought it. I've been wanting to try one for a while, see if dolch looks as good in real life as the pictures. Plus I'll get an entire broken network analyzer to take apart.

Technically, he should be selling it as is, not used, as it does not power on.

This one looks to be in good shape, so I guess it's worth it to me. I plan to use the entire keyboard.

Is this offer still open? Are there any of those awesome plates left? I like the layout and really want to give it a shot.

Does anyone know of any other good cheap sources for vintage blues? I can find blacks, browns, clears but never blues.
