Joke - Check out this Cherry board and tell me what's wrong with it

Well, that's what, ~110 MX brown switches + doubleshot keycaps for most of a numpad + some relegendable keycaps + a card swiper + a couple of microswitches. Maybe not worth $50, but not completely useless either.

Considering I got my 8113 for $25(http://www.ebay.com/itm/141197443553?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649)
and dorkvader got two for $40 shipped, this is a huge rip off. The main good thing about a 8113 is the double shot keys, which this person pretty much removed all of. The few still there aren't really worth it. If buying this board for parts, you can maximize your profits more on a different board.

I wonder if a geekhack member bought it.

I think most people on this forum know better (I hope).

Still, for $50shipped, that's a high but not totally outrageous price for 120 brown switches. These were in shortage some months ago and the buyer may not have known that browns are no longer in shortage.

Im not so sure: Keep in mind most of my ebay finds are priced well below the average. I spend some time hunting around for deals, and snap them up when I see. I also got a model F 122 for $35, and a TG3 BL82 for $10 shipped. Does this mean that a model F 122 for $50 is a ripoff? of course not.

These keyboards are worth that for the switches and it would make a decent gaming KB as it does have NKRO. I think the buyer got a good deal on this. Just not good enough for me to have bid.
