Hello,

I am getting rid of some stuff to clean a shelf and I was wondering whether it was anything worth (also regarding the interest of these)
- 200 blue ALPS switches: tactile, clicky
- 105 black ALPS switches: tactile, non clicky
- 104 orange ALPS switches: tactile, non clicky
- 105 white ALPS switches: tactile, non clicky
- 2 sticky ALPS, one white and one grey
As far as I can remember, thees come from 2 chicony, 2 apple II and 1 Dell AT102 keyboards

There is also a set of double shot keycaps, iso layout (azerty / BE) from a G81-3000 but I think it is cherry mx compatible, right ?

So is it of any value ? Is it worth the belgian shipping cost (should be around 10 euros (using submarines for transportation sounds like an epic failure) ) ?

Thanks for the enlightenment,

Gilgam is known to buy azerty.


Do you have the boards the alps came with or did you throw them away?

Unfortunately, I was not taught the truth about keyboards young enough... the boards were thrown away since they were not functioning anymore

Hm...I think 100 of any of those switches should get you at least 20 EUR.

EDIT:

Correction: 100 of any of those switches WILL get you at least 20 EUR.

blue and orange alps will bring a minimum of 30€ per 100.
blacks 15, whites 20.

I recommend you pm MrInterface, I think he might be interested in purchasing the entire lot of switches.

The azerty DS caps are worth 25-35 € depending on their condition.
pm Gilgam, i'm sure he will be interested.

Gilgam will soon have monopoly on DS azerty and when the French(also some Belgian) enthusiasts finally catch up he will be rich.

May I politely disagree?

Thanks all for the replies and advices !

Time to make some pics now and I will start another thread in the market place (expect it in a few days)

Thanks again,

Money is nothing compared to sweetly typing on virgin secretary hand polished azerty cherry double shots...

Edit : That would be nice german word ...

New in box, but an ISO layout. Would normal unicomp key covers work with these? Shame about postal costs

Is it worth the money they are asking?

without shipping definitely

Sucks about the shipping otherwise I would pick up one.

How much is my Cherry G81-3000HPG/01 w/ double shot keycaps and an AZERTY layout?

HPG? Are you sure? Any picture?

could it be Belgian?

Here are some pics for it.

Plain French layout.
I would say the keyboard itself is worth next to nothing (MY switches). Or would a collector want to pay for the weird "HPG"?
As for the keycaps, depending on condition I would rate them at 10-20 Euro, at least in good old Europe. Shipping yours from the US would probably make them too expensive.

Do want send me apm

Edit hours after : typed on a "smartphone" as they said. Fuckingly annoying...

I'd rate them a bit higher like 20-40

I am rich!

Time to spread the wealth
PS. Following the current trend of Ansi only gbs, group buy 4 is probably the last chance for a long time to get ISO DS, what would raise the price for decent DS sets a lot.
But that's just a hunch

what's a set of MX Brown stems and springs from a Compaq 11800 worth!!

I sold some for 10gbp plus shipping last year.

I'll take two

Want to sell some of my Model M's.. making some room and getting some funds to buy other boards.

There's 3 in total:

1x 1391511. Condition: OK, missing 2 keycaps and fixed PS/2 cord is stretched.
1x 1391401. Condition: Good, All caps complete and proper detachable cord.
1x 1391511. Condition: Good. All caps complete and proper detachable cord.

Not sure what to ask for these

I'd try to sell them here first and then put them up on ebay if you don't succeed.
used german model ms go on ebay for 30-80 depending on condition and mainly how good your description and photos are, presentation is everything. make sure they are cleaned!
btw. it would help if you add your country of residence to your profile so one at least could guess what layout these have

Any chance these could be cherry? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IBM-Compatabl ... 1c25c5d299

I'm still hunting for UK caps Is this worth the money?

Think the numbers not a serial but Cherry's German Postcode..

He's got this which looks interesting.

Worth the postage?
