I finally figured out who it is! I never put it together before, but he has bought stuff from me a few times before. He also is the slowest to pay ever. He has purchased from ohaimark before as well, who also mentioned how slow he is to pay.
Is it someone we know?

I don't think so, at least I haven't found them yet if so.

The "slow to pay" thing rang a bell with me. I can remember selling a few rather unusual things, maybe to somewhere in Texas or the Southwest?

In the last 30 days, B**A has won 27 auctions, all in the keyboard section except one. That's unbelievable.

Anything good?

If you buy all the keyboards, everyone will be at your mercy. Must suck to have fat stacks. :rollseyes:

"NO LONGER FOR SALE"

Maybe the seller just doesn't want to take down the listing?

I guess he is not quite away of what he has there or would probably be selling them separately. I would doubt these go to the end of the auction as sales outside the auction seem to be the norm with the nice stuff lately.

If you have all three models, you were a collector and you know what you're selling.

I can't imagine how a collector would not think that he would make more selling them individually .....

Good point. I missed that detail. In this case, it seems that it's a "complete set" of sorts; an instance where the group might actually be worth more than each separately (provided the right buyer exists).

Southern CA.

In fact, he just paid me a few hours ago after not paying for like 5-6 days.

Oh wow, that must be pretty frustrating. Can't you have people pay immediately or is that generally not a good idea?

SoCal too.. Might be a next-door neighbor!

It's really frustrating actually - I usually put instant payment required on my listings but I guess this one slipped through. He probably buys them to "save them" and then once he has the money required he pays out.

Weird LED placement on this one, no idea what the switches are:

Too expensive for an M, even NIB but this only seems to be "in box".

Posted: **17 May 2016, 12:17**

Yeah, although I found it kind of funny how it probably was an actual NIB judging by picture 6 and he decided it was a good idea to open it

Seems like import tax and whatnot cost a pretty penny to get it shipped to EU

And he's posting the real personal data of that seller online which is always nice to do...

Does anyone know what this might be

It's on the other side of the globe anyway. It looks rubber-domey, but DIN connector and the layout suggest there's a small chance it could be more.

I sense the membrane dome vibes emanating from that one. Looks a junker.

NIB = "New in box". This keyboard looks new to me.

If you say so.

I'd say "newish". Anyway it's overpriced quite a bit.

I'd only take it if it were shipped to me for free. Almost definitely RD.

Oooh, indeed, I wonder what switches that uses. Love the badge as well, the classic ones with the raised lettering are super awesome
