Looks clean, but some of those keys look quite shiny (might just be the camera flash).

You probably want to include a photo of the label on the underside, and another with at least one of the key caps removed to show the switch type and that there isn't a ton of hair and crumbs beneath (also showing off the doubleshot keys at the same time. One showing the connector at the end of the lead wouldn't be a bad idea either.

If the photo's representative, then I'd be tempted to say very good condition.

Just stick it in the marketplace... :D

Very valuable advice here by hoggy, all true. Also, without a reference grey card in the frame, it's difficult to rate any potential discoloration of the plastic.

Flash doesn't produce bright spots like that unless the surface is quite smooth to begin with, so they must be quite shiny. I'd say condition Above Average (B-).

Try taking a picture on a bright day without flash...it will show the state a lot better.

Ok, so the shining keys are actually not that shiny its mostly due to the camera flash, tho some keys are a little shiny like
left shift for example. Ill make a daylight picture then thanks for the advice but what do you mean with the grey card, what
kind of grey card would you expect for better comparison?
