Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Interesting.  Same guy as the last Aussie SSK sale.  Perhaps he has a stockpile...

(It's not the same keyboard from last sale, different serial #)

If I were in his shoes, after I had determined the current "going rate" I would sell the rest at that fixed price.

Auctions are not a sure thing, and my experience is that the price might or might not rise after the first sale, but usually drops sharply after the second.
“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
