And why would you be "that guy" instead of popping off the switches and selling them cheap or giving them to people in the community to experiment with.  MY may have a stigma, but early MY switches really aren't all that bad.

I don't know why, but somehow this reminds me of shark hunting only for shark fins.

This appears to be an earlier listing of the same item. it is the same seller. Obviously someone contacted him for keycaps or he removed them himself.
Wait this actually says keycaps only, so I guess the seller is responsible

^ YES!  I was about to say that this is what happened:  one of you jackasses asked the jackass seller to strip off the keycaps and sell them, and the seller did.  Like a jackass would.  FYI:  I was an amateur teenage detective back in High School, so I can say for sure this is what happened, using my finely honed detective skills and powers of deductive reasoning.  (Actually, I used abductive reasoning, since I drew a conclusion based upon the available evidence.)  Anyway, they wrote some books about me and my teenage exploits, but they changed my name to Nancy Drew in the books, because they wouldn't pay me my royalties.
