I dont remember bidding on this, if possible cancel my bid

Thanks, but I don't need a functioning board. I am glad to take any broken / busted / missing pieces boards you have left over.

In the other thread you said you are interested, I just collected everyone who wanted one and listed them according to their wishes. Anyway, list updated.

Vax! Welcome back!

Nice avatar Vax

Well I think he means that he was not aware of an auction, me either

Yeah, I said that I wanted to make this as fair as possible for everyone. Not just the guys that are camping here and get a shot at anything anyway. I'm not suspecting this to go very high tho. At least it's not my intention.

Anyway, if you are interested or not please say so. Shoot me a PM with your max bid or just answer here if not. Thanks.

After one of those rubber domed #9!

Can I see pics, and how much use have they seen? Do the keys still feel like new?

Thanks

I would like to sell them all in one but 2x of them are pretty yellowed. At least the keys are. 1x of them is pretty good in shape. I will try and get some pictures for you.

Cheers OK then

would prefer just the good one if possible though, up to you of course

Sure, just bid away starting from 10€ I would say is fair.

Happy to pay twenty euros for that mate, looks very nice thanks.

@hamza, wait you want a dell quietkey? Man, I really thought those were considered avoidable just like any rubber dome, had one in my hand (price around 0.50E) the other day, only tapped one key twice and then left :/

Well I have no clue what those are worth. 10€ for 3 of them is still fair I guess?

Lol they are being sold in the US for $3 or something. http://www.ebay.com/itm/DELL-0463CD-RT7 ... 802wt_1163

No shipping to the UK though

@off I'm curious to know the very best that a rubber dome can be! Also you sure you tried the RT7D5JTW version? There are a couple of other versions out there that suck

mm no, €19 for 3 quietkeys shipped isn't quite what i'm looking for

Only need one and preferably not yellowed lol

Typing on a uk model m that I donated £70 to charity for, so won't be too upset if it goes to a caring home. But would like a vintage one for work maybe.

People need to hear the model m noise at work.

hamza_tm wrote:Only need one and preferably not yellowed

Yeah, sorry, I haven't read your post correctly it seems. You get one for 3€ then, obviously.

THAT's the spirit!

Well shoot, 'the very best rubber dome barring topre'... maybe I shouldn't have gone 'aw rubber bye' and actually felt the board up for real

Cheers Vox!

Vox is someone different. She is the former stripper at Geekhack.

Alas she doesn't respond to PM requests for naked keyboard on head pics.

To the top!

Bump.

Gogo!

I'm sorry that it took me so long to react to this thread, but I was quite busy the last couple of days and did not really visit the forum for some time.
I think I have to decline the offer. I bought another keyboard in the meantime, and now I first have to find a way to properly store the boards I already have. It's not that I'm not interested in general, but right now I don't need another keyboard, I'm afraid. :/
