I know it's almost impossible, but why not try....

I'm sure if you offered about $650.00USD the owners MIGHT change their mind in selling it to you..... ;)

Wouldn't it be more economical to get a Dell/SGI big foot and swap the switches with Alps SKCM blue switches instead?

Well, I know that the last time the nos dc-3014 sold out for $700 on ebay, so I'm ready for that price range.

Not really understand why? I want to buy dc-3014, not just a keyboard with blue alps

Damn straight, always go for what you really want. Life is way too short to cut corners and make do with anything less.

If you've got the commitment to spend than go after the Original all the way. Although finding that special owner willing to part with it, is another whole story in itself.

Wish you the best of Luck in achieving your Quest.

If you really want it do not give up, but yes sometimes these things can take a long time to come to fruition. Since it is no longer made there is no reliable supply. Someone could find one in a thrift store for very little or you could come across a collector who wouldn't consider selling for double what it's worth. I guess I fall into the latter category in some cases.

I do in this case, but have no desire to sell my 3014 at any price. Good luck with your search though.

Thanks, Yes, I too now belong to this category since sold everything I could part with and left only with what will never give up under any circumstances))

Yes, I am full of hope, while I managed to find almost everything I wanted, although it took more than 4 years to find some things
