Apple AEK II (M3501) $25 shipped

This is a bit yellowed, and it’s hard to tell what kind of condition the switches are in, but it's easily worth that much for just the keycaps.

Also, this auction has an AEK II, an Apple Standard Keyboard (M0116, probably orange Alps), and two rubber domes (I think one of them is the type with with Alps-compatible keycaps and the other isn’t, but I’m not totally sure). http://www.ebay.com/itm/131342035326

AEK IIs on auction right now for cheap:


My experience has been that they are hard to sell for more than the high-$20-low-$30 range even when clean and tested, unless they are not yellowed, in which case they might go for $40 shipped.

But I have not sold any since last spring.

They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Those look very nice.

The mice are junk, but anybody who seriously wants to try an AEK2 should pounce on one of these.
