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.

99 cents is more than the value of your bad attitude, I'll tell you that for free

Hi there folks,
I was wondering if you could help me establish value on a few items I have lying around. Starting with:
1) Lightsaver v2 kit (unbuilt) - just the case, board and 2 plates (they were for different bottom rows IIRC)
2) FMJ poker case. The one with the brass poker pips on the bottom.
Thanks so much,
Josh

What kind of switches do they use?

Well, none, by the sound of it
But otherwise I'd assume MX compatible ones.

Yes, sorry, I never bought any switches for it but the board takes standard MX. Just the board, two plates and the case.
Just grabbed this from original group buy:
Aluminium housing (Aluminum 6061) in black, silver, gray, or red.
MX Reinforcement plate (STS-304 1.5T)
PCB presoldered with MX only support
Fixing bolts
The google doc with the summary of what I ordered is still live, but not sure if it's cool to post that link here. The case is grey. I have the "new" plate and the "original" plate (maybe from lightsaver v1? I'd have to reread the thread)

I want to part with my Matias Tactile Pro 4 (Mac QWERTZ version).
Optical very good condition, but <P>, <Ü> and <+*~> feel a little lighter than the other switches.
Original box and cables will be part of the deal.

There's a guy on reddit who has been trying to sell his built one for $550 usd shipped (CONUS most likely) for a year, so I'd guess if you wanted to move it, $400?

I've been out of the game too long, want to check how values have changed over the last 5 years (Wow, I need to post more...)
Most interested in the NMB, as it is currently my daily & I am looking for a donor/sibling board to keep it working in the future.
NMB RT8255CW+ w/ Black Space Invaders (good condition)
IBM Model F4704 107 key (good condition)
IBM Model F XT (good condition)
SIIG Minitouch w/ SMK switches (NIB)

I've got an IBM 3276 I will be putting up for sale. Not sure what these are bringing. Converted, tested and working. Missing three keycaps, there's a chip on the cursr/blink key, and some slight discoloration where the paint was wearing thin on the wrist rest and a couple other spots. Other than that in really good shape.

Beamers are about a grand these days. Missing keys will cost you, however. Someone's going to have to raid a Selectric to remedy that!

What about 5251s? I've on I want to sell. Full set of keycaps, no yellowing on those, internally overhauled, no converter included.

Hi!
I was able to obtain two never-used keyboards from an old computer store that closed down numerous years ago. What do you believe they're worth?
Cherry G 80-0454
Alps AKB3430 Ascii

I'm not very well versed in Alps, so I won't comment on the second board, but about the Cherry board, I think it should be worth around 140-180€, depending on the buyer. It's incredibly rare but there's also not a huge demand for them.

Probably around $35-50 each. Neat switches and the keycaps look nice but probably a pain to convert and they aren't anything super cool.

Definitely what Myoth says.
This Cherry board is of course nothing you would want to convert in order to use it, but an excessively rare collector item apparently in pristine condition.
Edit: on the other hand, if you want to sell it for "
$35-50", I'm your guy!

These come up pretty frequently on eBay. Main drawback is the connector, combined with the fact the cable is not unpluggable from the keyboard. This means a buyer would have to buy a converter to use it, or convert it internally him/herself. QWERTZ perhaps reduces the breadth of the appeal as well, although perhaps would raise the value for certain European buyers. $40-50 region I’d say, based on finished ebay listings.

Hello!
I recently came into possession of a Xerox docutech keyboard with what I believe to be SKCM Neon Green Alps switches. I was wondering where I would go to estimate a value? The keyboard is quite dirty and has a fair amount of yellowing. I also would like to confirm it does have Neon Green Alps switches.
I've seen some people selling them on reddit but I was unable to find a recent listing on eBay.
Images of keyboard:

Any information or help would be appreciated!!

Or buy something because you like it and want to use it, not to "invest".

I’ve heard that beer is a sound investment. The leveraged derivatives are especially good for plants by the roadside, and the yield is guaranteed overnight!
