The easiest thing to do would be to buy two (!) and simply swap the internals around. I told you it was folly!

I wonder if a Shine or Zero's internals would fit.

Ah, yes, that's smarter! I hate desoldering and switch harvesting so much it blinds me to the obvious.

How much would a G80-1000 HAD with the miracled "vintage" blacks be worth? I have one with an A datecode (A21), meaning 1988 production according to the wiki. Case is yellowed, the caps are shiny (and yellowed, being ABS doubleshots).

Imgur apparently randomly rotates images (seems they ignore the rotational sensor meta data or something along those lines)...

Clear topped Nixdorf blacks are "miraculous". Vintage blacks are nice, but I don't know how much people would pay for them. I've picked them up quite cheaply.

Yeah. Imbattable, I don't usually price check things that I'm interested in buying because I don't want to be biased in any way. But I'll make an exception on this one.

Vintage blacks are really common, even ones from 1988. While they're lovely, they aren't worth lots. In the US they sell around 0.30$/switch.

I didn't want to screw you over that is why I wanted the price check photekq

Ignore my comment. Anyone who's interested in buying your goods should not be trusted to price check them

Best wait for someone else to price check it.

How much for a NIB Monterey Mtek K104?

clicky variant with the blue slider, I think
http://deskthority.net/wiki/SMK_Alps_mount

Looking to sell some stuff. As new QFR (ISO, red switches) with a Frosty Snowflake custom controller, a set of as new Ducky thick PBT blank white ISO keycaps, and a Ducky Mini (v1) ISO, with a crude jailhouse blues job.

As for the jailhouse blues, a few switches are not very "solid", and produce somewhat of a click when pressed the wrong way, and some feel a bit scratchy or slow.

Looking to try out a topre board, student life requires me to sell.
Thanks

Does anyone think there's a value in modding a G80 3000 to browns? I really dislike the browns and wonder if it would increase the resale value if I added them to the G80, as that board isn't sold with browns.
The other option would be to fit it with black stems and springs, as I have a ton of those around. Then I could sell it as an LPMDE.

It is, and I'm trying them out for a while longer. I have another G80 3000, though, that is currently empty without springs or stems.

My experience is that cameras often get the rotation data wrong when pointed nearly straight down or nearly straight up. Imgur does honor this data, whereas the software you used to quickly check them before uploading might not have.

I photographed an utterly ridiculous religious pamphlet by placing it on the ground in sunlight, and the rotation data seems rather random when they should have been entirely landscape. Using a viewer (IrfanView) that honors this data shows that this is how they came off the camera.

Okay, looks like I've scored a beautiful NIB G81-3000SAT with "Universal" Czech ISO keycaps, with black secondary legends and blue side-printed legends. I'm not sure if I'll sell it, use the keycaps, or hide it away yet. Since it has dyesubs in a pretty unusual layout, I'd like to get an estimate of what it's worth. I don't have pictures of my own, but here are some from the original auction:




Can any Cherry experts give me an indication?

I'd guess that Photekq would trade you at least one of his nuts for it.

Couple of hundred at a guess? It's one of those strange layouts that verge on unique so I think you could almost name your price.

Great! I expected about one liver, but a nut is a nice upgrade. Thanks!

PMed. Seriously, I will trade you both nuts if necessary.

I accept payment in both nuts and internal organs...

That was a good find indeed!

Like you so much guys, keep goin' !

Thanks! I nearly wet myself when I read the "SAT"! Still, it hasn't arrived yet and for all I know it's just a box of bricks.

Hi.
What would you value these for:
1. Fully working Model M with swedish caps in great condition.
2. Fully working Model M with swedish caps in good condition, missing some rivets, one plastic holder for the plate(replaced with screw through case) and left and right cap tops.
3. Fully working Model M2 with swedish legends. Will be cleaned. Great condition
4. Fully working Model M2 with swedish legends. Will be cleaned. Great condition
5. Partial working Model M2 with swedish legends, seems like membrane problem. Broken stab on right shift. cleaned.

Sincerely

derp

Obviously a G80-2100 HCD, dirty but in apparently quite good condition, is worth 89€ (+ shipping):

Someone got a good deal. I bet it would have gone higher if that Cherry logo pad print key wasn't so worn

Ah, very nice find.

Price Check:

ISO-DE CM Storm Quick Fire Rapid, MX red
Nordic CM Storm Quick Fire Rapid, MX red
(half a year old, caps cleaned although barely used)

ISO-DE G80 3000 with Browns, anyone?
