Can someone educate me why this Cherry MY keyboard sold for £800?

I want to know if this is a super rare keyboard or something because I have a board with MY switches which feel like crap and I know isn’t worth more than £30.

Those Olivettis have different Keycaps. A nice blue instead of black lettering...

What TNT said. Cherry MY uses standard MX mount so those caps are 100% of that price tag.

This made me laugh in a sad way, questioning my life choices.

Ah of course its the keycaps. I can only imagine what this would have cost if the board had the full set!

Definitely worth another 800 Kromer on top!

The ad says "Ended," not "Sold."

cos it's the 2nd uk dyesub olivetti that's ever shown up; the rarity of that specific combination can't be understated. and i'd been searching for many years.

that said, i wasn't expecting it to end so high - 250ish was my honest guess when it first showed up. competition was far more serious than i hoped.

Guys, I like to think of myself as the biggest douche in the village when it comes to peeing on people’s pricey parades. Quit cramping my style!

Sorry, big fan. You know what they say, impersonation is the highest form of flattery. But I reckon I could never reach your level

Who am I to judge anyway, I consider myself to be quite irresponsible in regards to my spending. Still, 800 quid is a hefty sum for just keycaps

Sorry, all out of orange felt-tip pen atm

I have an incomplete ANSI one with different keys missing. So, I can use them to complete each other One at a time, of course
