Actually this PS/2 Model M would be a better fit for me than the AT Model F:

Kurrk can have his prize!

lcg · 26 May 2013, 17:27

I would also very much like an SSK if they ever do show up. I am interested in buying one of the Model Ms from the link that Muirium has posted above. I would love to have an ANSI Model M. It would depend on the shipping cost and import taxes though.

Hi guys, I'd be interested on this: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 0804834726

By now, that's the thing interests me the most (but it depends on the final price). The following is just thinking aloud:

I don't know if I've understood ok, but looks like there are several units of this one availabe, am I wrong?:

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=201 ... id=&pm_id=

if yes, I'd be in for one or two boards

Also tempted by this, but the price is not that great, the only "strong point" is getting a winkeyless cherry board with MX Blue.

Paranoid · 26 May 2013, 18:12

If they do have several of these:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=201 ... id=&pm_id=

I'll take that instead of this (what just getting it for the switches anyways):
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 8067046162

Congrats on the model F Kurrk, they are the shit

wish I hadn't fucked up mine!

Muirium · 26 May 2013, 18:16

What did you do, take a welding torch to it? Thought they were beastly tough.

Paranoid · 26 May 2013, 18:31

Nah, it was my first time hooking up a Teensy with Soarers adapter a couple of months ago, read the AT diagram the other way around (oops). But no worries, it's in save hands with Soarer now who fixed it with his magical touch

No.. sorry..

matt3o · 27 May 2013, 09:15

please everybody confirms the orders in the first page so we can ask tinlong to ask for a quote.

I'd keep this open another couple of days, then I'd finalize it.

Paranoid · 27 May 2013, 10:00

Allright.
You can keep this order:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=201 ... id=&pm_id=

But that is for everything in that picture, right? Because he says something about buying separately in the description.
Definitely in for one of these if everything is included, maybe even two.

You can remove this order:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 8067046162

You can add these:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=201 ... id=&pm_id=

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=201 ... id=&pm_id=

If I'm correct this is in CNY (Chinese yuan), right? Just so that I don't completely misunderstand the price

maxmalkav · 27 May 2013, 10:49

I'm in for this:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 0804834726

and if possible and available, 2 of these (I hope the stock will be that real):
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=201 ... id=&pm_id=

Matt3o please, remove this: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 5380685415
I have realises they only sell the keycaps, and it's a very bad price for lasered caps :S

Muirium · 27 May 2013, 12:24

Confirm!

IBM Model M SSK: (one please if they are being sold!)
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=3642278402
or
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=3541695980

IBM Model M PS/2:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=7356982662

IBM Model F Space Unsaver:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=3656915464

A board of Cherry MX blues:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?scm=100 ... id=&pm_id=

A board of Cherry MX whites or greys:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=201 ... id=&pm_id=

End of list.

Is this two boards of MX whites?
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?scm=100 ... id=&pm_id=
If it's both boards and they are MX white (not grey, dark grey or clear) I might swap this for the last item on my list.

And is this board just two MX greens in a sea of blues, or are the blues meant to be spring modded?
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?scm=100 ... id=&pm_id=
It's over twice the price of the board of blues on my list. I'm only interested if those are all "greens".

cherry cherry original green axis + green axis New arrival 3, the motherboard does not include good or bad, when the shaft for sale!

Hmm…

The AT Model F is Kurrk's if he wants it. And though I'd like a Kinesis Maxim too, I'm wary about the postage and taxes on all this. It'd be great to know how much delivery goes up by weight / number of items.

Kurk · 27 May 2013, 12:42

Confirming the AT Model F. Thanks Muirium for letting me having it

Muirium · 27 May 2013, 12:44

Use it wisely.

mauri · 27 May 2013, 13:05

Muirium · 27 May 2013, 13:10

ANSI enter:

And it is just the caps.

tinnie · 27 May 2013, 13:16

Okay, I have contacted the seller and he said he is not able to ship worldwide as the 'missing rate' of China post is very high. So, the package will come to me and all the way to Europe.

I will estimate the package is 15 kg.

Shipping to me, around 30€.

To EUROPE, EMS service, arrive within one week.
DE, €145
IT, €180
BE, €150
ES, €147,50
GB, €152/ next flight out service, arrive at next day 17:00, €450
NL, €147,50/ next flight out service, arrive at next day 17:00, €450

To EUROPE, INT'L PRIORITY PARCEL, take around 2-3weeks.
NL, €105
BE, €110
DE, €122,50
IT, €103
ES, €125
GB, €122

Muirium · 27 May 2013, 13:31

Just gotta love shipping…

mauri · 27 May 2013, 13:38

Is the shipping that much per order or is it for the whole gb :S

whole order to a EU proxy.

maxmalkav · 27 May 2013, 13:52

Independently of the shipping cost China-EU, we should have into account which country has the cheapest international shipping. Not sure, but I guess shipping stuff from Germany to the rest of the EU it's the cheapest option. I've always found quite asymmetric the cost of shipping from and to Germany.

Paranoid · 27 May 2013, 13:58

Well that's as expensive as I thought it would be

if shipping is shared equally that would be about €20pp to get it to the proxy, plus the shipping costs to us.
Wouldn't it be cheaper for some items to ship them separately? Just asking because I wouldn't wanna pay €30-€35 in shipping when it could cost €10-€15. If that's the case I wouldn't mind dropping the two boards and just buy the keycaps to save some money. But I'll wait until we've got this all figured out of course.

Shipping from DE or NL is the cheapest. At least for me, I don't know about the rest of the EU. BE shipping costs suck. It's way overpriced here.

maxmalkav · 27 May 2013, 14:03

I don't know how we will divide shipping costs, but my experience (as member and also organiser) is dividing proportionally the shipping costs: the more you spend, the more you pay. Maybe in this case, the fairest would be dividing proportionally according the weight, that is the determining factor for the shipping costs.

Waiting to see how can we do this, I'm sure we will find a sensible way

Muirium · 27 May 2013, 14:04

Indeed. If Tinlong could quote some lighter package prices too, we can work this out.

And never forget our good friends DER ZOLL (dun-dun-dun!) who might just notice the mother crate we're assembling here!

Speaking of which, I'm also considering the delightful Model F Space Unsaver:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=3656915464

Paranoid · 27 May 2013, 14:07

Cool

is that really a Model F? Just buy it man, at that price, €12,4 :p

Muirium · 27 May 2013, 14:16

Oh it absolutely is!

I expect to pay a tenner for the keyboard and several painful times that much for its two pricey hops from China to Scotland. At least it won't be alone. Should be one or two more IBMs making the trip!

maxmalkav · 27 May 2013, 14:26

Muirium, I thought that all the Model F type had at least some mod. keys like the ones you can see in this picture: http://i.imm.io/164xL.jpeg

One way or another, 12.4€ it's a total bargain

Muirium · 27 May 2013, 14:30

I'm not sure I can spot the difference, besides the colour of the middle section of the top two rows of caps.

Stepped modifier keycaps I guess. Could well have a few replacement keys on it.

Paranoid · 27 May 2013, 14:44

The case is quite a different design though, as well as the ctrl and alt caps
