Hello!

Being that I'm more of a lurker and not an active member of this community I know this would be kind of stretching my luck, but here we go.
A good friend of mine found this in an unused old office and messaged me to ask what he found. After discussing his good luck, I offered to sell it for him.

Condition is less than great, but I would not dare post a rating since I know how things turn out after a scrub and some love.
Space key is stuck and left shift binds. The rest of the keys are functional.
The 6 key looks a little bit crooked, perhaps the metal post is bent?
Ships as is and can't make guarantees of it's future usability. Will disassemble slightly and take pictures upon request.

Item ships from Argentina. For reference, I quoted the shipping from DHL and got an estimate of 280$ to my office in San Francisco. Can quote again on ask.

I'd like to start pricing it at u$S1200, bitcoin/ethereum only.
Will entertain a trade for a keyboard of up to 100~200$ but logistics could get messy.
No problem in sending the item first for shipping price only if the buyer is well known and trusted in the community.

"bitcoin/ethereum only"
Pff

How much for just the ?¿ key or the goofy little enye key?

Did you find the rest of the system with the keyboard?

Sorry for the cripto requirements; my country would not allow for anything else. If this is not sold in a couple of months I could have another option but nothing until then.

Can't sell parts of it, I risk not selling the rest :shrug
Did not find the rest of the system either, sorry.

Would taking PayPal or lowering the price help this move?

Most beamspring buyers don't know what a "crypto" is, so adding paypal would probably be quite beneficial :lol:

Most people would want to pay with a currency older than the keyboard, Euro-zone folks not withstanding.

Does your country let you use eBay? They have "managed payments" now so folks pay however they want and eBay deposits to your bank account.

I don't trust a currency that doesn't have my Queen on it.

Fun fact, did you know that the Queen of Denmark writes all her speeches on beamsprings?

In defense of the unusual means of payment, Spongebob1981 and I are from the same country and I have had to deal with this while selling my F 122 a year ago:

I type in Spanish every day, but I wouldn't say I like the layouts for Spanish; I prefer to use a slightly modified Danish layout that allows typing in English, even with n and m dashes, in French, in German, and Italian. Who needs a Spanish layout? Maybe just out of nostalgia.

I think it's a matter of preference.
I'm switching every day from Spanish to English and back, and it causes a lot of typos and errors.
I do find the English layout to be much more comfortable to code in, and to use shortcuts for tools. As always, YMMV

Sale fell through so it's back on the market. Now the actual owner created an account so (welcome him and) take a stroll through his post at viewtopic.php?f=55&t=26954.

Thanks and cheers!
This thread is now safe to close.
