Get the caps that all of GeekHack is raving about!

I got mine yesterday. Quick turn around and they appear to be in good shape after a quick clean. Pretty awesome deal.

If you're on the fence about these, get them. My set has no shine and cleaned up nicely. Really happy with my caps .

This buy is for used WoB Cherry G81s from stores (walmart, best buy, so realize these will have shine). If you are interested, post in this thread to keep it bumped and PM me and include your name so I can keep things in order. Seller is also willing to sell the entire keyboard for $10 + shipping. I'll end the GB when they are all out, which shouldn't be anytime soon. Pricing is below

Pricing:
1 set - $15
2 sets- $22.50
3 sets- $36.50
3+ - PM me
PM for international
2 sets, can fit in a small priority box, any more will go into a medium box

Back left looks super super shiny. $10 is way more reasonable than pacifist's extortion rates, but be careful assuming these will be in good condition.

these are the shiniest, most dirty caps in existence

I asked the seller to take pictures of each keyboard so I can gauge the condition of each one and get more accurate prices

Shine is actually pretty desirable. Sometimes you just need that extra little bit of bling.

Love how you're threadcrapping this when you sent ****ty shiny caps on to most people and charged, what, almost $40 per set, pulling in a nice profit along the way while calling them "like new". hwood is doing the honest thing and saying, yeah, they may be shiny, but the price is right.

I am in for some as long as not too shiny.

hwood34 · « **Reply #15 on:** Sun, 22 June 2014, 22:29:21 »

Just a heads up, he says he got these from retail stores, so most of these will have some level of shine.

Ebay keyboard sellers. The masters of the blurry picture.

I'd also like to discover what sort of amazing typing style they use that can manage to get a click out of MY switches, Chicony rubber dones, and most likely, Atari 400 membrane boards.

On topic-- I wonder if there's any sort of technique that could be used to "uniformize" old caps-- either accelerated wear to get them all shiny (potentially very nice on SA or DSA style caps), or re-pebbling them. If I had access to a sandblaster, I'd love to try it on a cap or two.

bazh · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 23 June 2014, 02:59:20 »

$10 is worth a try, rather than $40 for a shiny set

strafe · « **Reply #19 on:** Mon, 23 June 2014, 08:26:37 »

If there is a set with keys missing, I need a $4 key...

Still interested. Shine is fine with me.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #22 on:** Mon, 23 June 2014, 14:43:03 »

Just be aware that the entire bottom row has stem placements that are incompatible with modern keyboards. But it's still a great price for some worn doubleshots.

hwood34 · « **Reply #23 on:** Fri, 11 July 2014, 13:26:10 »

So he can sell the caps by themselves for $7.50/set + shipping. Just remember that these were all taken from stores so they have some shine on them. Who's interested? PM with your shipping info and PP if you are. Oh, and can a mod move this to GB?

nubbinator · « **Reply #27 on:** Fri, 11 July 2014, 15:12:51 »

Will the price be lower on multiple sets like originally listed or is it a flat $14? If it's a flat $14, drop one from the number I gave you.

+65536 on ^ this. Pacifist's $40 "like new" WoB is shiny like a mirror, while tinlong's NIB WoB caps are $50. My worst buy on GH ever.

He was told by the seller that the condition was very good. He had nothing else to go by. So, I don't think you can blame him entirely for that one.

100% honest I saw that coming with Pac's buy and tried to warn some of my friends interested

I got some WoB caps early into my time on geekhack from the free thread and they are beyond shiny, and honestly I think and consider most WoB sets (unless NIB/mint) to be worthless

Especially ANY coming from ebay/craigslist, where the seller has like 15+ boards and tries to sell them all, it's going to be a grab bag, but with all the caps in abysmal condition

No, it will be more. Honestly, you'd probably be better off getting a whole board from a seller near you considering shipping is going to cost like three times what the caps are
