Cherry MX-11900 for $19.80 shipped
« on: Wed, 02 December 2009, 17:00:17 »
Cherry black switches, typo when listed:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Cherry-MX119000-MX-119000-PS2-Touchpad-Keyboard-104_W0QQitemZ390115090294QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5ad4abdf76

"More than 10 available"

For 10% CashBack to make it $19.80 instead of $21.99:
Go to Bing.com and make a Live account,
Go to "Shopping" and "Featured Cashback Stores" and choose Ebay
Use this version of Ebay to enter item number 390115090294
Ensure you still see the CashBack logo in the corner the whole time
Check out with Paypal
Get 10% back ($2.20) in your CashBack account within 60 days
I have found this process to favor Internet Explorer (thanks Microsoft...)
also, do not confuse this with the "$10 Cash Back" savings scammy thing at the end

"Refurbished, tested, and working. No manual included. Needs to be cleaned."

"Remanufactured, Tested, and In Working Order. Guaranteed NOT dead on arrival. See specifications and photos for further details. No manual available."

Example looks like this:


I just hope it doesn't look like THIS ONE (different seller, etc):

You prefer the UK layout to the US one?

nice tip. I didn't know about Bing.com cash back.
I read its description how to qualify:
1. Buy it now only
2. have to buy within 60 min (of first page load at ebay)
3. It will take 60 days to cash back to the bank account unless you sign express pay(?)
4. accumulated balance must be over $5 to transfer.

even if it went down to 8% discount it is still good deal.

btw, would you give us some review of this particular keyboard?  I know this has linear switch but I am trying to convince myself to buy it lol
OmniKey 101 - the perfect keyboard
Chicony KB-5181 - SMK Monterey Blue switch
Cherry G86-6241OEUAGSA - Cherry Brown switch
IBM M 1378160(Ambra)
Dell AT101w / AEK II

they say 60 days.  its so that you dont buy something and return it and keep the cash back.  id say i only actually had to wait on 2 or 3 of the 10+ times i have used this so far.  it is usually instantaneous.

my recent epiphany is gift certificates.  i know i am going to spend a lot of money at ________ over the course of my life.  getting 10% back in cash (or 8%, as it went down as soon as i figured this out) but still having the $500 gift certificate...  and just imagine if you can get the card UNDER cost like you often can on ebay.

and yes, 8% is average.  last year it was 35%.  THIRTY FIVE PERCENT.  imagine the possibilities!  too bad all i bought was one set of headphones.

also, $200 max cash back per transaction, and $2500 max per year.  20 times per ebay account, but nothing wrong with multiple ebay accounts (do NOT try to make multiple cashback accounts to circumvent the $2500, they will find out)

i guess you already know that ebay isnt the only place you can use this... but ebay is great because you can get almost anything, think of all the fixed-price items (game consoles, gift cards, etc) that are suddenly lower than anywhere else.

i wont have access to the keyboard until february
so just ask someone who likes cherry blacks

One thing to watch out about buying gift certificates or gift cards on ebay - you may purchase something, find it works, but a week or two later the gift card is no longer valid, and you lose the remaining balance.  Some people may purchase a gift card using a stolen Credit card number, and when the owner of the stolen credit card realizes it's stolen, he will report it and thus the gift card is zero'ed out.

Just something to watch out for.

BTW: Andrewzorn, are you a slickdealer too? :)

yes, i am, but i try to stay away from small stuff like grocery deals

never thought about that with the card though
i thought i was clever enough to find the online balance checker thing through best buy so i can ensure it is $500
