Actually the great majority of the ones you show were from Canada, which I usually exclude from my searches because US-to-Canada shipping is so expensive (while apparently Canada-to-US is not). I am not really in the market anyway, although I would like to have one.

There were only 3 on your list for under $100 in the US, but 2 of them were granite.

True. $100 plus shipping.

I'm surprised myself that it sold so fast, I didn't know there was that much demand for linear Alps.

What are the caps?
Tai-Hao Tomcat. I had to modify the capslock key though.
Great effort in doing this. Cleaning up and using Tai Hao key-caps are certainly nice.

Some people here can not afford to buy a one in a million Alps keyboard model, produced in minute numbers but you've shown how a genuine effort can be made, to use a common Dell Big Foot.

Thank you for showing us here, much appreciated by those that like seeing a decent restoration of a Keyboard :ugeek: .
