Is every image host in Germany run by the same guy? They're so icky. That one was opening up tabs of ads on iOS Safari. Blech! Abload, pic-upload, *.de!
I don't like Flickr or the various *bucket hosts either, as their JavaScript makes viewing the picture up close an artificial pain in the jacksie. But these guys take the cake and shove it.

Sorry, wouldn't know about that. Adblock doing its job I guess. If you can recommend a better option, I'll use that.

I host everything right here on DT. Probably not a great idea if you're mirroring other people's images, though. Then probably best to use Imgur.

Only using pictures I made myself, as a result I have to keep on apologizing for their uhm quality.

no but there`s a ton of them out there and after years of using adblock I often don“t remember how shitty all those pop up`s are either.

Found this keyboard on ebay.it

The seller is listing it as mechanical, here's the switch

To me it only looks as a slider on rubber dome, am I right?
Keycaps seems dubleshots and pretty interesting...

Yup, and the keycaps are alps mount doubleshots.

Have seen the second one before, too, but can't recall where or when. It really is beautiful, though!

I'm guessing it's a [wiki]Monterey K208[/wiki] variant, and the keycaps should therefore be Alps mount.

This ended up way lower than I expected. NIB Industrial is a pretty rare sight even if it's a regular model M.

I think most of them look to be the predecessor to this one:

I guess it's the older one - the IBM logo is on the other side.

Sorry, yeah - I keep forgetting that not everyone will know

There are other proxy bid sites. I really like
buyee.jp. There's an 'English' link in the top-right. You can do snipe bids, revalue your packages, pay with PayPal or Debit/Credit card. They'll hold your items for 60 or 90 days (can't remember which) and you can consolidate multiple items and apply protective packaging. Never had any problems with them.
