[Other] Price Check: How much is my _____ worth?

They were a mix of ISO and some like yours above that were ANSI w/vertical enter key, an uncommon combo that I enjoyed using. If it were quieter I'd use it a lot more.
Mine were used by NBC during the Olympics, I believe at ticketing kiosks or entry points, hence the port on the back for connecting a barcode scanner to scan tickets or security badges.

didja's, Is there a version that has the window keys like yours and oyecomova, but with ISO key in it? I've only seen pics of the ISO version with no window keys...

I can confirm that the ISO version with window keys exists. I also know that earlier versions have double shot key caps, unfortunately mine has lasered keycaps.

I dunno, those keys don't have a good rep.

Thanks!

Yeah, probably only good for someone who is looking to have backups.

How much is a excellent condition Model F AT keyboard worth? I bought one on taobao for $94 dollars plus 30-40 postage.
I'm pretty sure that it was a good purchase considering some go as high as $220 in this condition.

I missed out on bidding on one in Australia where i live a few days ago. It went for $142 with AT and Model M Blue label keyboards . I was willing to bid up to $150 but in the rush of the moment I only put in $130. :cry:

I have an old Keytronics 122-key terminal board that I would be glad to sell for cheap (like $10 + shipping).

It works properly with an adapter (no Teensy, etc, required) but is not a fabulous mechanical board. What is really special is the awesome triple-shot keys in blue/black.

If I had anything that they would fit, I would use them. If I can't sell, they will probably end up in an art project.

How about it?

Well, first of all I would say you're in the wrong thread since you already named a price :mrgreen:
But I would be ineresting in buying the complete set of keycaps "for cheap (like $10 + shipping)".
Some interesting things there.

I have some Apple Extended II keyboards that I lovingly cleaned. Some have uneven yellowing due to the keyprotectors that were on them. They are all ADB but if there is interest I could convert them to USB... I am considering using them for parts.

Are they worth anything to anyone?

I also have one Griffin iMate USB to ADB adaptor.

Personally, I love them, and consider them to be ‘The’ Apple keyboard, but they don’t appear to be worth much any more. I’ve been harvesting them patiently on eBay for the last couple of years and paying less than a tenner for each,¹ mostly in very good condition though some quite badly yellowed. The necessity of having an iMate for them is what I think has made them drop so much value. If you modded them to USB, you could probably get £30 or so for each of them.²

I’d maybe be interested in buying a USB-modded AEKII, so drop me a PM and we can discuss. I might also be interested in one or more of them unmodded if they’re ANSI.

The iMate itself is probably worth £25–30, since they’re relatively rare in the UK.


¹ Though I paid significantly more for my NIB AEKII.
² Guesstimate based on what *I* consider them to be worth; YMMV.

Successor of the G80-2100 with an ever better programming function,
but alas - with those horrible MY switches. And lasered keycaps.

I've got a Das Keyboard with MX Blues and media keys. As far as I know the media keys were a very limited run. The keyboard is about 2 years old and I've taken good care of it. The 37 keys have been replaced with blanks because they got shiny from use and I was a little scared to pull out the big keys. I still have the original keys and would include both sets with the sale. Here's a picture of it.

Image

I'm not sure if this is the place to post this but I have a Transformer (16gb) with keyboard dock. It's about 6 months old and I never use it. It's in near mint condition with no signs of use. Just wondering how much it's worth and where is a good place to put it up for sale.

Image

Thanks in advance for any help. :)

I would say 100$ is a fair price for a well cared Daskey with both sets included.

Dont know original price though, here are round 130 euro.

I have a Wyse PCE 840358-01 keyboard with the key caps removed that I trying to decide what to do with. The key caps ended up on my Rosewill as shown here: photos-videos-f8/filco-original-wyse-moogle-wyse-t3035.html#p62557

Would this board be worth more in one piece (less the caps), or should I de-solder the switches and try to sell them separately?

Thanks! OddOne

Bought same Wyse keyboard without keycaps one year ago, paid 10€.
Purpose was to train desoldering switches and modding a mounting plate.
Not sure whether this answers your question, though :roll:
