The keycaps alone are easily worth 80€ in this condition. As long as you still have it all together, this is a nice collectors piece.

Have never seen these keycaps in NIB so don't get me wrong - you didn't overpay!

Idd!.. and honestly I didn't EVER see anyone selling a NIB G80-1501HAD, even on Germany. Not to mention that used boards are usually sold for half of the price of NIB ones (or even less, considering their condition).

I think I'll ask 35€ for it (the new coiled cable and switches worth a lot more than that)

I have. More than once but not often.

That's quite relative. I bet you could sell it for much more than that in China for example.

Hi guysss
I wanna sell this: ISO novatouch with landing pad mod+lube all slider+stab. Caps dye sub, miss just the spacebar (old one). Case in mint condition.
Shipping cost from Italy is around 30 euro in Europe...

You should provide more details about the caps.

The value is realtive. Relatively high in this case.

'Bout to pay $60 for:

Atari 520ST - Can't really find any info on what switches it might be using, probably not anything great
TI99/4A - Made in USA, hopefully it's the HiTek or General Instrument switches one
Toshiba T3100 - Mostly what I bought this set for, doesn't seem like I'd find one for <$100 shipped on eBay and I wanted to try out the SKFL + probably use the caps from it for a different board
Unisonic 21 - Some sort of calculator/gamethingy from the late 70s sponsored by Jimmy the Greek for some reason. Can't find any info on what sort of switches it uses, but given it's age and the size + shape of the keys I think it might be something at least semi-interesting.

Did I do good? I mean, it's no $5 recycling centre blue alps find or something but I figured it might be worth getting a second opinion before I pay. There's also two old Atari monitors with this stuff, but unless someone here wants em or they're (for some reason) worth something, those are probably just gonna get dropped off for recycling on my way back home.

Pull keycaps and post photos. It sounds like a reasonable deal.

IBM Model M 1390120 manufactured on 09 Jan 1986. Does early date add any value to this? I know some model Ms with different part numbers were manufactured in 1985.

I have seen a Model F XT dating from 1986, so it appears the Model M was only used for the XT 286, not the regular PC and XT.

Hard to say. Lot_lizard has really shaken up the market, but it seems like they will always be worth $60 in switches alone.

I don't think you would have trouble selling it in the low-$100 range if it is decent, and the mid-$100 range if clean and converted.

Probably considerably more outside of North America.

Hi Guys!
I've been offered an AZERTY IBM F XT (Great condition) for €75 inc. Shipping
Is that a fair price?

Would be my first Model F.

If you don't mind AZERTY yes.

For IBM Model F XT my limit is 80€ for an instant purchase. That's the German market though.

Thanks I will go for it then! Caps are interchangeable with a Model M right? would prefer QWERTZ.

Posted: 22 Feb 2017, 16:32
by Wodan
Yes, but you can also shuffle around the caps on the board. Since the board is "curved" the keycaps all have the identical profile ...

Great. Thanks!

AZERTY boards have very different caps (not only caps positions) from anything else.
On the number row for example, the numbers are uppercase while symbols and diacritics are lowercase.

I would love that azerty F XT!

It's got a label too - haven't seen that before on an F XT. Btw, this adds the missing part number for the French version of this keyboard :) .

Yeah I was thinking about asking for whomever is in charge of editing the wiki page to update it :)

What are these Torpe keycaps worth, as a set and seperate? The spacebar is PBT as far as I know. All five are unused.

I've got 100 cherry mx black springs I pulled off a non working keyboard, and I was wondering if there's a market for those, and for how much I can sell them.
