$47 shipping

Thank god at least he shows pictures with the box empty. That could have gone in the line of "Mystery IBM box for sale, who knows what's inside..."

So do you guys think the $47 shipping just means he'll ship you the box, or will you be getting a box in a box?

It was an limited offer from a local Makita distributor, I think this cases accumulated and they just wanted to get rid of them

Like many of my projects, on hold for now. I have collected some parts and tools though for my future workshop endeavors. I do have a decently equipped laptop which I would like to integrate into this case. I do need to get a PCB and then figure out how to build everything into this case.

Boxes reminds me of this, which has been up for some time now:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/163503556563

It looks to me like someone took the APL keycaps, put them on their keyboard and put the non-APL ones back into the box.

There's no gold badge as such. It's the yellowing on the protective plastic that makes it look like gold. Also that price is a scam. One sold last week for 200ish.

Very nice keycaps. Shape of them looks like they could be SKCC switches?
