Congrats Aer! The snipe is always best. <sigh>, darn old job keeping me off gh.
If anybody who got one of the other kishysavers wants to deal, drop me a note...
I missed the story of the origin of that lot. Did tinlong break into the undiscovered tomb of King IBMses the Third?
I missed the initial find (and that's why I'm here!)
And yes to the sniping. I made a bit a few seconds earlier to make it look like that was the snipe and to get the response bids, then the actual snipe, which was higher than it needed to be but was still in my comfortable price range.
And yes. He was exploring the wilderness one day and the ground collapsed beneath him. It only took him a minute to realize that he was surrounded by rare and desirable keyboards. "King IBMses the Thirds tomb", he cried out! He took as many as he could carry as proof of his find. On his way back, he dropped one of the boards on accident, but couldn't retrieve it due to time constraints. This keyboard fell on a rock and dented the back plate. Later, he acquired the assistance of the locals in order to take the rest of the keyboards. The dented board was collected but deemed too different to sell with the others. And then, he sold them all to GeekHack and Deskthority!
