You need some salmon Alps switches? You don't mind unsoldering them? You want some Alps-mount keycaps to go with them? You want to pay $11 for 63 (I'm pretty sure it's 63) keyswitches and caps? Here's your auction. Free slow shipping, too.
Note that, while I was online actually ordering a bunch of these sets, someone gave the ebayer a negative review. That dropped his percentage to 97.8% on 87 sales.

Pretty despicable
Agreed, very similar to those sellers who sell boxes from game consoles for $300 only mentioning it's just a box for two words in the title. *Technically* they're not doing anything wrong but like...c'mon.
Very obvious this seller is hoping someone will buy it thinking it's a keyboard.
I guess I don't see the issue here. Everything seems accurately described in the listing and the price is within reason for the described item. It's not likely you would find the keyboard for $11.
I just cherry (heh) picked a couple quotes (there are several more; I'm just summarizing) from earlier in the thread and wanted to tell you that, after a bit of back-and-forth, the seller did refund me.
Do note that the ad is still active and that the item is still listed as sold to me.

I can remember when one of these was listed for $60 and it took a long time to sell. I picked up a pristine example for $50-60 from a surplus vendor and of course it's been forever so now I don't remember where I got it exactly

Model M blue badge with affixed cable. $35
Cable is frayed and some keycaps are missing but if anyone wants to try buckling springs or needs parts you could likely get a pretty good deal with the best offer option

Judging by the condition of the barrel plate, back plate and back pan, it will go for a considerable amount. The only defect on it seems to be dirt, which will come off. I would wager it would sell for around $1500

Well shit, time to waste some money. A NOS Model M with the Brazilian layout? That mofo's mine.
Probably. Unless it goes really expensive.
It went for higher than I wanted, but hey, brand fucking new Model M from Lexmark for Unicomp prices? Hell yeah.
Interesting is that it was made by Lexmark in March 1996. That's the latest Lexmark made Model M I've seen, I think.

I mean, yeah, I guess. PM me with some offers. I like XT and AT layouts, and clicky alps. It's honestly not that cool though. I tried to see if I could use that right shift to replace the backspace key on my F XT, but it doesn't work.
