It's really hard to price check them because the price varies so much. I've seen some sell (not ascaii's) for 100EUR recently. I've also seen 7bit sell his for 500EUR, although I don't know if that was just a joke or whether he actually sold it. That was also pre-Gateron.

On the Chinese forums Nixdorf PCBs are consistently worth $750-ish. But that's on the Chinese forums.. You would not get that kind of price here.

Thanks. I'm actually thinking of buying some locally, but I'm not sure, if it's worth the hassle.

Well, if the price is good, I know I'd pay you a decent amount more than you paid for your troubles

I've been thinking of selling this set of ALPS doubleshot keycaps. I love them, but since I haven't found an alps board which I like, I'd prefer to send this nice set to someone which will actually use it.

Still new in box. How much could I ask for? other photos here: http://deskthority.net/photos-f62/post- ... ml#p209716

Bought this Tipro ski data board with mx blacks, but it's not really my thing. Trying to get a sense of what it's worth so I can set a reasonable price on it.

I got a Apple Powerbook 540 laptop its 21 years old and in Working condition is it Anything worth

How much an Olivetti with Cherry Keycaps (doubleshots I think, I don't have it at my place right now to be sure but it will be soon) Italian layout is worth? album at http://imgur.com/a/CI9KD

How much is this NCR XT from 1985 worth?

Nuum · 03 May 2015, 17:52

The 55€ they asked on Ebay seemed to be a decent price to me.

Good because I paid € 45 for it just now. !

Nuum · 03 May 2015, 17:57

Could be worth quite a bit more of you clean it and find the right person.

seebart · 03 May 2015, 17:58

I'm the right person for it Nuum. You know that!

Nuum · 03 May 2015, 18:01

Sure! I've been thinking of buying it, but figured that I don't really need an XT layout (well, almost) keyboard. I'd just use the left F-keys on some custom keyboard anywhere in the future, so it wasn't worth it to me the time being.

photekq · 03 May 2015, 18:02

1985 = very, very, very nice MX blacks

They will be at least as nice as those MX blacks in my Commodore PC5 which is from 1985 also. Again, I could not resist. Of course this one will have to be converted.

How much is a Lexmark M5-1 ISO in good condition worth?

All the pics of the restoration process here: http://imgur.com/a/F5RgM

Keys aren't yellowed, it's just that I didn't make any white balance and those pictures are took under halogen. Cf. http://i.imgur.com/EzIo0yr.jpg for a more correct white balance.
I say about €80-100. A nice and interesting old model.

Hey Ivan,

I just got two other boards like this one, but in QWERTZ this time.

A thing that might interest you is that one is "Nixdorf Computer" branded, while the other one is "Siemens Nixdorf", so I guess it was produced during the transition period. Except the branding and the case color which is a bit different, everything is identical, even the key caps grey color.

I can send you pictures if you're interested, I'm just finishing restoring them both.

Cheers!

Edit: woops, I thought I was sending a PM, but it's as good here.

HzFaq · 05 May 2015, 23:32

I'm interested in pics too

.

Though, only pics, due to the lack of teeth in my wallet

Anyone?

ramnes · 06 May 2015, 00:11

That one is mine!

(Just realized you posted it)

photekq · 06 May 2015, 00:11

Those are dyesub keys acolombo. However, they're not made by Cherry. They're very similar and high quality, but not quite.. The modifiers are not MX compatible as they use some really weird stabilisers.

The set is not worth too much because of this. Perhaps 75-100EUR. There are also Olivettis with Cherry dyesubs. If that were one of them it would be worth much more.

ramnes · 06 May 2015, 00:12

How do you see this?

photekq · 06 May 2015, 00:29

Font positioning/size is different on the ones with non-Cherry dyesubs.

scottc · 06 May 2015, 00:32

You know you've got a problem when you're considering buying an entire keyboard just for the control keycap...

HzFaq · 06 May 2015, 00:33

I have done similar, if not worse.

edit - Also, I don't think the control key on those Nixdorf boards is the same colour as the standard Cherry beige.

It's not.

Just a small picture about those two Nixdorf boards, before going to sleep:

I really love the grey key caps on beige case!
