You can have first dibs on whatever turns up then matemhinsch wrote:Damn! I had them on my list as well...
Not doing this for anything other than curiosity. If there's some UK ISO doubleshots in there I'd be tempted, but have already managed to get a set recently.

I would've been in it mainly for the joy of discovery . Although, if one of the terminals turns out to be a capacitive buckling spring I would definitely be interested. Oh, and Alps keycaps of course, I would like those too.dirge wrote:You can have first dibs on whatever turns up then matemhinsch wrote:Damn! I had them on my list as well...

If the cherries that aren't on top have all the caps there might be a full set DS uk caps. There might be an acer/blue alps board.
The interesting thing is the huge yellow beast in the middle of the stack.

Pity. Yeah, these guys are weird. I've bought from them once before and ended up making a decent deal. But when I asked them for example to put the five boards I had bought into one box for shipping I also received one of these baroque, unintelligible responses and of course ended up paying for 5 separate parcels...dirge wrote:Yup, not sure what's going on but I don't think we're going to get the boards. Negative feedback for not honouring the deal.
Shame.

They've put them back up after raising a resolution case against me. I've put the bit on there, same arrangement as before... Bet they mess me around again...

Looking at the pictures I see a lot of damaged keyboards, so this would be more for parts than anything else.

This is a consequence of allowing talk about running auctions !
Something is posted here, immediately the listing gets a couple of hundred views and guess what ?
The seller starts to wonder WHY, googles the board and what does he find ?
DT & GH discussing 100 Euro keycaps and 2500$ used keyboards ..

It's bs like this that really makes me mad when using ebay.
Sellers that don't have a clue about what they are selling, don't care to find out or put effort in it, generally are hostile to buyers and pretend you have to be glad that they are offering that shit anyway.
Usually when you message that there is a remarkable difference between their offering and what you received they tend to get snappy and point to some obscurely high recommended retail price for new items arguing you should be glad that you received the item (even if its broken and useless) for that price anyhow...
Same sellers usually get spinning dollar signs in their eyes as soon as you mention the word "collector".
As if some geeky collectors of stuff that's worthless to the rest of the world means you can rip those usually very nice people off with broken, dirty, penny shit and a rude attitude. aaargh. scnr [/random ebay rant]

Apparently they blocked you. They added the whole story (at least their point of view...) to the item description. Which increases the creepiness of the listing to a point where no sane person will bid any more .dirge wrote:That's odd, I had the £6 bid on there, now its vanished! No messages in eBay either.

I'll keep watching it. If it stays below 8 or so I might put in a snipe...

Read their report of events. They did try to communicate with me, it didn't make sense. They didn't reply to me when I asked for clarity, they are idiots. I'll be interested in getting a board just to I can take a picture of it balanced on the small of my back, above my bare arse, just to send to them.
