Muirium said the going rate is about 100€ so 80€+shipping should be an easy sell, right? ;)

It's a handsome board. The last few to sell here on DT were for a good bit more.

What's shipping to Scotland like? :roll:

What you cannot type that into the DHL website yourself? ;) Seems to be 25€. 15€ if we get lucky with the packaging and you don't care about insurance. Edit: Maybe 22€ with Hermes.

Couriers demand postcodes for both ends of the trip to give a quote over here. Here's DHL as it appears to us:

If you could really get it to me for 100 Euros, all in, consider me well tempted!

Hi Icarium,
I have just received the Nec APC H412 Blue Oval. It arrived very quickly and in good shape. Thank you. My first hot impressions are:
It looks and feels sturdy. However typing on it gave me some contradicting feelings; i like the lightness of the touch that reminds me of blue alps switches, but the NEC's are quite scratchy compared to my Chicony kB 5161 and the clickness seems to be less audible, at least on some keys it appears to be clearer than on others, particularly on shining ones, that's an obvious sign of worn-out. The overall impression isn't so bad, if it wasn't for that hideous reverberant sound that comes out from the case and seems due to the metal plate hinging the keycaps, underneath. Opening the keyboard, the metal plate panel pings even louder when you snap on it directly or on the outer plastic case.
Anyway my son liked it and wanted to test it on his pc, giving me back the IBM M122 battleship type IV that I had lent him some time back. In conclusion, every cloud has a silver lining (i'm joking, of course) :D .

Aw! And it looked so clean too!

My wallet anxiety troll is very pleased at backing out ahead of you, the mean bastard. :evilgeek:

Yes it is, but it is offset by this other new acquisition that killed my wallet anxiety troll once and for all, making him believe it is ALL about money investments
