Re: Price Check: How much is my _____ worth?

Well, a little while ago an IBM model M klicky keyboard was sold via Ebay for 0.99 cents. Does that establish the value?

Kind regards Happydog.

Hi all. I wonder if anyone can shed some light on my C-Link terminal keyboards. They appear to have PCB mounted Cherry MX Black switches with build-in zener-diodes, as in a Cherry MX3500. The pcb says it was manufactured by Koutiang. Can anyone help me to establish a value for these terminal keyboar...

Thanks a lot for all the useful information, I'm learning by the day this way. I never thought a keyboard could fetch 1000$, imagine one would find some of these in a thrift shop. It happens from time to time that people do these finds. In the Netherlands we have a TV program that is called "Between...

Yep, both the left pictures resemble the keyboards in the foto's I've been shown. I'm curious where the upper very small keyboard is for. Is this some kind of programmable keyboard?? And for what purpose?? It puzzles me.

Thanks in advance,
Happydog.

I made a mistake in the description of the smaller keyboard, it should be 2 rows of 15 keys and 1 of twenty. That makes 50 in total. Silly me.

The owner of the space saver keyboards showed me the foto's on his phone, I do not have them. But for the sake of negotiating ;) I need some advise about a possible price i would pay for a IBM space saver. Of course I did some search work on the internet, and found some info on Ebay and Clickykeyboa...

Hello. I found a few space saving IBM type M keyboards together with some weird looking smaller keyboards with three rows of blank keys, also IBM. The guy who owns them maybe wants to sell one or two to me, but is not sure yet. I'm sure the combined knowledge of the DT members can tell me what this ...

Lectori Salutem. I tried to establish a decent price for a model F 5291 Bigfoot keyboard for a while now. The prices I found on the internet differ from 180$ to 40$. I believe DT is the place to get a real and honest price indication. What is the value of this not-so-easy to find keyboard, with or w...
