Re: Great/Interesting Finds

Agreed. I don't cancel bids since I usually run BIN listings, but if someone starts asking lots of seemingly random questions about one of my items and the answers are already right there in the listing for them to see, then I tend to just block them immediately so that they can't buy from me. I've ...

Re: Great/Interesting Finds

In the listing, the seller admits that they are a hoarder, so I guess that explains the crazy prices of their items. :D

There's a Selectric going for ~120 USD at a thrift store. Should I get it?
Our local Goodwill stores here in Maine usually only ask $25-$30 for Selectrics.

Unless it's a really desirable color (like red) or is something fairly rare (like a Selectric I with blue keys), I would pass.

The same seller offering the F122 shell has a listing for a 5251 shell also. This one has a mock-up drawing of sorts at least. It will be interesting to see what comes of these.

Edit: Looks like that was mentioned above. Whoops. :-)

Re: Great/Interesting Finds

Yeah, it reminds me a little of a seller I tried to buy a PC from a few weeks back. They listed a system with a bunch of great specs and a good price, so I used buy-it-now. Then a short while later I received a message from the seller asking me what my budget was and what I was looking for in a syst...

Re: Great/Interesting Finds

While I'd absolutely love to try brown Alps, this one's a tad too steep at $500 US. It's a "new old stock" replacement for an IBM 5140 luggable. And one for $299. I do realize that the seller has a bit of history here ... Yeah, that's pretty high. I just sold a complete working 5140 a couple of wee...

Re: Great/Interesting Finds

I had pre-omnikey Northgate branded 555 a while back. It featured a small square gold badge with the Northgate logo on it.

Mine was blue Alps, so I can't comment on the Omron switches, but I'd still consider any 555 an extremely rare find.

Yeah, he seems really into blue Alps -- Perhaps
even bordering on a cult-like devotion. (Insert "Hallowed are the Blue Alps!" Ori meme here)

I wonder why he isn't here on DT with the rest of us keyboard nuts? 😉
