[WTS] Christmas Megasale! Alps, Topre, Cherry, Buckling Springs and more

Right, the time has come… I have no more space. All keyboards are fully working and pictures of each corresponding to the board's number in the following list can be found here:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/4hezRmjfr5HnJYNK8

Most of these I'm selling for the same or less than they cost me, so hopefully the prices appear reasonable! Prices exclude shipping: I'm in the UK but happy to ship anywhere. Send me any queries you may have!

Keyboards currenrly available:

18. Added 3rd Feb ‘22 Early Dell AT102 with the older Dell logo, salmon Alps switches, dye-sublimed PBT keycaps. 5-pin DIN connector. Lowest serial number I’ve seen on one of these. Even the sticker appears earlier than the wiki examples, and doesn’t show the FCCID (which is presumably GYIAT101-102, being salmon alps and USA-made (although ISO layout!)) Good condition. Hard to part with this but I’m forcing myself! £160

5. Vale-branded NTC, yellow alps-clone switch that's clicky and that I thought was white alps till I lifted a cap. Missing one flip foot - apart from that, very good condition. £50

17. Price reduced APC-H412 with NEC Blue Oval switches. Beautiful board in excellent condition, doubleshot keycaps, missing the ‘-’ keycap on the numpad (switch still works). £60 £55

14. Price reduced Unicomp Model M, buckling springs, manufactured December 2020. Not sure what this design is called but it's my favourite of the modern Unicomps: classic beige colouring, thin bezels, no horrors around the lock lights! Excellent condition, all working. Original box. £80 £70

Sold keyboards:

ALPS
1. Dell AT102W, Black Alps, somewhat yellowed. £25 SOLD
2. Dell AT102W, Black Alps, no yellowing. £30 SOLD
3. Opus-branded Chicony 5160 series, White Alps, some yellowing, switches in decent condition. £45 SOLD
4. Vale-branded NTC, White Alps, heavy metal backplate, all-round excellent condition. £60 SOLD

CHERRY
6. Black G84-4100 with Cherry ML switches. I personally quite like these switches and the compactness of the keyboard - but I already have another. £15 SOLD
7. Tandem-branded G80-1191HGB, MX Black (vintage black? Maybe - couldn't find anything definitive about when the cut-off date was, or if it even matters! Anyway, switches feel smooth), doubleshot keycaps, very good condition (I've given it a bit of a wipe-down since the photo). £90 SOLD
8. Cherry G80-3000HFG, MX Blue, doubleshot keycaps with zero to minimal shine, excellent overall condition. £90 SOLD

TOPRE
10. Price reduced Leopold FC660C, factory-silenced 45g, black and blue keycaps, original cable, manual and boxes. Excellent condition. £140 £135 SOLD
11. Price reduced Leopold FC660C, 45g, white/beige and grey keycaps, fitted with Hasu programmable controller, includes original controller too, as-new condition with original accessories and box. £200 £190 SOLD
12. Price reduced again Realforce R2 PFU TKL, factory-silenced 45g Topre, white/beige keycaps, adjustable actuation point, basically new - used for an hour or so max. £180 £170 £160 SOLD

NEC BLUE OVALS
13. APC-H412, beautiful board in excellent condition, doubleshot keycaps, very interesting switches: light and crisp. £80 I have another of these which I'm keeping. As a couple of people are keen, I’ll sell my other one! SOLD

SMK
15. Tulip ATK with SMK inverse cross-mount tactile switches. Doubleshot keycaps, slight yellowing. A pretty rare and interesting keyboard, I think. £40 SOLD

BTC
16. Price reduced BTC 5100C, New-in-box, BTC dome with slider switches (the picture with the plastic off is my other one) This is the version with the 5-pin-DIN connector, so snappier domes than the PS2 version. Unique typing sound. £40 £35 SOLD

APPLE
9. Price reduced Apple M0487 with Mitsumi KPQ switches. Some paint on the rear case. £15 £10 SOLD

Lots of goodies if I was in the UK. Good luck with the sale.

How does that Vale w/white Alps sound? I've only seen a couple in the US and missed the auctions.

Thanks!
I'm going to borrow a decent microphone from work next week so I'll send you a recording.

Model F AT you say? Great Scott! Are you sure you can bear to lose it?

The NEC is tempting me. I know the others but blue ovals remain an open mystery…

Not completely sure! It’ll be a test of willpower, listing that one.

Anything US ANSI coming in the future (apart from the NECs)?

Looks like your inbox is good and full! I'll post here instead. Still possibly interested in an F.
