I would rather sell it here to somebody from the community instead of on ebay. So I would be happy about any offers!

Are those stabilizer clips extra/broken? Is a replacement controller and solenoid addon already included?
Has the foam been replaced? Is the plate refinished and painted? Was there any rust?
It would help to show the inside as well so people can assess the condition of this keyboard.

Might be better off on eBay. More bidding wars, less lip. ;)

To be fair, those are all good points. But the truth of the matter is that all beamsprings are $BANK nowadays and you’ll have punters aplenty on eBay no matter the condition. The outside looks pretty damn good, I expect it to go for easily over a grand.

The stabilizers apparently belong on the numpad 0.
The controller is the original, I've never actually used this board.
I didn't replace any foam or did anything else to the plate.
There doesn't seem to be any rust except a very minor amount on the numpad 0 stabilizer.

Here are some more pictures:

I will throw in the dead fly for free!

Just some considerations before we shot ourselves in the foot.

This winter an Italian ebayer sold several 5251 beamsprings (7/8) for less than 450€ each. He wasn't clearly in the hobby.
So, don't cross your bridges before you come to them.

Edit: I also know who bought them.... I can't say it, though.

I'm just going to repeat myself: Post an offer!
If the only offer I am getting is for 500 you'll probably get it for 500. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Two things to note about these are that
1) The condition was a gamble (still great prices even if the condition was horrible)
2) They only shipped to Italy IIRC, limiting the buyer pool quite a bit

I didn't get it but just post here anyway please, it's easier to follow for everyone. :)

I'll offer $500 as a starting offer. Just curious how much shipping to California would be.

Shipping could be $1000. Then you’d be square. ;)

My scale says it's 4.3kg, the DHL site says that would be ~50€ to mail to the US. x)

That is one nice looking beamer. I am fairly close (well, compared to other potential buyers) in Serbia, however, whatever it goes for in the end is probably way outside of my budget for a keyboard that'll most likely live on a shelf (and even if I could go crazy, I have only around 200 euro floating around at the moment, which is well short of beamspring money). Good luck selling it regardless!

EDIT: Prices for those range anywhere from 850 euro on the absolute low end to 1500 on the high end. 1000 is the most common asking price, and is what most of them go for.

You jammy bastard! I tried shipping a lowly G80-3000 to Europe last year but the shipping quotes were more than I sold it for. Just gave up. Still NIB on a shelf here, FOR 🇬🇧🍰💸LOCAL🇬🇧💂‍♀️💷 BUYERS ONLY. :roll:

Cool, well yeah, if you decide you still don't want to go the eBay route and don't get any higher offers, $500 + $50 is ready to go!

Half price? You’re going to need a good story for that…

Anything less than 1000 is coming straight out of Icarium’s cellar!

Mh...well...I mean there might be customs to pay...I have no idea.

I bid 525€ 🙂

Add packaging to the weight so you'll have to send it as 10kg package. Also shipping to the us is easy since customs won't tax anything below 800$, may vary between states. But if you need some tips regarding shipping DM me.

The number of people here ready to slap half grand on the table may be somewhat less than on eBay…

For a board worth 100 or so, sure, selling here to someone you’re sure would get the most out of it makes some sense. What are you losing? But when it’s 500 you could be leaving on the table, I’d just go sell it there. You can save yourself the bother of international shipping, too, if that’s problematic. (It certainly is here!)

And this comes from someone who hasn’t listed a damn thing on eBay in at least five years. :P

The keyboard market has calmed down after the Pandemic, for good.

That said, thank you for trying to sell it here Icarium.

If so, that would be profoundly good news for most of us; me included, as I've proven far more effective at buying keyboards than selling them. Too clingy! :lol:

I'd love, love, love a second £100 Kishsaver. Could even spring for an Unsaver at around that price…

So, I'm not sure what to do now. If only one person is interested auctions don't really work for price finding so maybe I do have to put this up on ebay. :/
