How much is this Cherry Keyboard worth?

Cherry G80-3000HEMGB MX Mechanical keyboard PS2

Its currently at £40~
Looks like a nice keyboard - UK like I need.

Its got Cherry MX Whites, which I'm not 100% about, I've got the switch try bag at the moment, and the MX Whites feel a bit weird, tactile - but don't audibly click enough for my liking. Also feels tactile on the way down and up - not sure I like that.

In any case I'm being over critical and the white will probably be good, its hard to judge without actually typing for a long period of time.

The UK double shot keycaps are nice too I might consider buying just for those.

Anyway can I get an appraisal of the value of this keyboard? how common are the keycaps? and any thoughts on the switches?

might be worth more to ppl who want doubleshots and like mx clears

I'm fairly new to the keyboard obsession, but my concern is over the rarity of UK ISO doubleshots - I see plenty of ANSI all over the forum, and don't wan't to miss out if I'm unlikely to see them again for a while.

Also the Whites could grow on me for all I know.

Those switches are usually called "Clear". Cherry's weird designation, only to keep it apart from an older clicky switch that had a white stem.
Lots of people here like double-shot moulded keys and/or clears. I am among the latter.

The doubleshots alone are worth about 25-30 pounds. 104 Cherry clear switches are worth around 30-40 pounds depending on condition. In the end its up to personal preference...clears+ uk DS caps is decently rare.

I want it just for those caps, they looks so nice, I've yet to find a enGB set of old DS cherries.

Hehe, UK black winkeyfull DS are definitely not rare.
At least, that's the case in China.
