I would rate it at much less because a collector will not want it for a huge sum with such a vital part missing,
and someone just wanting to use it will be looking for a functional keyboard, which it is not without that right space bar.

I for my part would buy it for not more than 50€,
spend about another 50€ for parts to be modded to usable and not-too-bad-looking space bars (including the left one),
and try to sell it as a non-original-condition, but usable keyboard - without expecting any return on the money and time invested.

The problem here is that those space bars are basically 3.5u (with a sliding cover letting them appear longer).
Such short space bars exist only on point-of-sale keyboards, but I have never seen 3.5u space bars before (and I do regularly browse POS keyboards).
As a solution one could use (and of course have to mod) two 4u space bars (rare, but not impossible to find), which would prevent completely closing both halves of the keyboard, or two 3u space bars, which would leave a 1u gap between the space bars.

Could try a hack'n'glue on a standard spacebar or 3d print one. First option obviously won't be more than a poor excuse of a replacement and the second option, if possible at all, requires a lot of dedication and probably € too.

Maybe there are some JIS keyboards with 3.5u spacebars.

To be honest, I think you're going to have a hard time selling a board with such an odd layout! I love the case though, how did you get that done? Is it just lasercut acrylic?

Yeah, I figured it would be a hard sell, it was one of those experimental things.
Case is lasercut acrylic, I am still tweaking it to make it as thin as possible.
If there are no offers, I guess I will just continue to tweak the switches with springs and lube. :roll:

I'd be actually interested in a keyboard with such a layout, but it depends on price…

Hey guys,

Recently got a Monterey K111 (Unbranded Siig Minitouch) with Monterey Blues. It's fairly used and yellowed, but I cleaned it all up and it feels great. Any idea how much I could get for this if I decided to sell it? I kinda miss 'clicky' keyboards after moving to Topre entirely, but at the same time, the constant noise also gives me a headache, so kind of on the fence and may sell it.

Japanese layout, nice. Are you sure it's called K111? My English layout one is K110.

Value: dunno. I like these boards, especially with montereys. But the caps feel chintzy. It's not quite a classic.

According to the wiki, the Japanese layout is K111. The English layout is K110. :) Been looking around and it seems the general consensus is $75 - 100?

International layout ones you can get for half that (I'm not even bothering to sell mine) but for a Spanish one I'm not sure. They're very easy to find in old offices though.

Another question. The price for a IBM 3476 InfoWindow? I don't know what ibm keyboard it contains but it is a 122 keys one.

Hey. I need some money for a PC related project I have in mind (not mech keyboard related) and I am considering selling two of my keyboards, a switch tester, a couple keysets and some artisans.

I'd like to know roughly how much would these be worth.

- Pok3r white backlit, black alu case with Cherry MX Clears (ANSI)
- CM Storm Quickfire XT with Cherry MX Brown (ANSI)
- A NPKC 17 switch tester (with some Cherry, Gateron and Kailh switches, comes with keycaps);
- A Ducky Blue/Gray laser engraved thick PBT keyset (ANSI)
- A Vortex White backlit PBT+POM (thick) keyset (ANSI)
- A Tai-Hao PBT Bumble Bee keyset (ANSI)
- 3 artisans: one Watermelon (MX) from SnackKeys fruit basket and two HypeMonkeys (also MX) from KatzenKinder (GeekHack).

Everything is in mint condition. The keyboards come with their original packaging and accessories and the keysets look like brand new with no signs of shine.

- Pok3r white backlit, black alu case with Cherry MX Clears (ANSI)
90$

- CM Storm Quickfire XT with Cherry MX Brown (ANSI)
80$

- A NPKC 17 switch tester (with some Cherry, Gateron and Kailh switches, comes with keycaps);
15$

- A Ducky Blue/Gray laser engraved thick PBT keyset (ANSI)
40$

- A Vortex White backlit PBT+POM (thick) keyset (ANSI)
30$

- A Tai-Hao PBT Bumble Bee keyset (ANSI)
30$

- 3 artisans: one Watermelon (MX) from SnackKeys fruit basket and two HypeMonkeys (also MX) from KatzenKinder (GeekHack).
Around 30$ each, a bit more for the Watermelon I think.

Thanks. For the most part they are more or less selling for what I had in mind, except the Pok3r, I paid a lot more than that for it (and it's brand new) and I am not willing to sell it for that price. I'm in Europe, so I'll have to adjust the prices accordingly.

I don't think ramnes noticed the black alu case. 90$ is a decent price for a regular poker 3.

Yes, but mine is one of the newer backlit models. It has about two full weeks of light use if that (it's like new, not a single scratch on the case, nothing). I got it from Amazon.co.uk for £104.99 (roughly 144€) without shipping. There's no way I'm letting it go for 90 bucks (or 90€). I'll have to think about it.
