There are a couple that are really common, mint gum is one (and probs the most common). There's 3D, the most common Tri. The other really common one is a single color but can't remember right now. edit: IIRC Hack Orange is pretty common.

Only for dem HOs.  When you be straight pimping all the time, you need a stable full of HOs to keep it legit.

Is it just me, or am I really the only non-hysterical person here? Why would anyone pay hundreds of bucks for a single keycap with a little skull carved on top?

Okay, I know how suggestible people are. If you can convince a certain number of them that something's valuable, they'll start convincing other people, and you can just sit back and watch the dough roll in. (That's how religion works.)

But even if you did think this little piece of plastic was worth that much, what possible assurance is there that the seller or their Uncle Fred or Aunt Jane didn't just sit down at the kitchen table and make it themselves? How hard could it be to mold and carve a single keycap? It's not like it has a double-shot legend or anything else that'd require serious machinery. I've carved entire mandolin bridges out of rock maple, and I don't consider myself an especially handy person—it's just a matter of time, patience and determination.

Honest, I'm not trying to be a wet blanket. I just don't get it.

Of course, back in 1626, Dutch colonists acquired the whole island of Manhattan from the local Indian tribe for $24 of trinkets. So obviously these things do happen.

...

To each, their own. You see a keycap with a little skull carved on top while others see a piece of collectible functional art. Value is subjective. I personally believe we're in a "clack bubble," but only time will tell. People have been paying these prices for nearly a year now.

That said, I mocked this price earlier in this thread and still stand by that. But people mocked these selling for $50 a few years ago, $100 a couple years ago, and now $300 today.
