I think it might sell at $300. $700 is definitely a stretch.

Probably a Korean collector, at that price.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. 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."

Does that mean you bought it?

Now let's hope you didn't get the version with SKCL Brown instead! :P

Last night I sent the seller an email asking about the color of the switch sliders. No reply yet.

Most likely blue, but they have been spotted with linear browns. I guess for this kind of money, you'd want to make sure, though xD .

I contacted the seller before the keyboard was marked sold to ask about the switches. He showed me a pic -- they were apparently white Alps. If so, this is the first I have heard of anything but SKCM blue or SKCL brown in a DC-3014. However, documentation on that keyboard is a bit sparse. If someone bought the board at the asking price expecting blue Alps ....

Yes, and the seller persists in saying "Alps" without specifying the sub-type of the switches. Moreover, the price is far too high even if the board had blue Alps. My impression is that Leading Edge build quality is not all that great.

especially since there is one on open auction starting at 40$ that is confirmed to have blue alps

I saw this on ebay and wept slightly. A NOS Blue Alps board is about as close to a Unicorn as it gets. (as you well know!)

One problem. This one appears to have white alps, as said earlier.
