Thanks derzemel.

enjoy it. I would have bought it, but I already have a set of beige UK ISO keycaps and I decided that someone else should enjoy them too

Posted: **24 Dec 2015, 12:43**

I've been after a 2nd set for a while but those ones were waaaay out of my price range. Enjoy dude.

Thanks guys. I actually thought Im getting this on the price that I was comfortable with; then I saw the paypal receipt (was converting to USD rather than SGD). Haha..

Posted: **24 Dec 2015, 13:05**

Yeah, things in GBP deceptively look like a good price until you remember that they're not Euro or USD...

New Open Box IBM PS/2 model 30 systems.

The PC was taken out of the package and had the original soldered battery removed and replaced with an new external one for RTC.

This is the kind of PC I had when I was in High School. The nostalgia is strong with this one.

Alps SKFL, doubleshot keycaps, compatible with regular Alps

Posted: **24 Dec 2015, 17:07**

Pretty laptop that comes with that keyboard, shame its yet another interesting cheap Alps board in America

Posted: **24 Dec 2015, 20:00**

I considered making an Alps SKFL keyboard, but then I sampled some of the switches and decided not to...

They feel exceptionally smooth, but the smoothness is a rubbery sort of sensation. It's like pushing down on a lump of Play-Doh.

WTF? Shill bidding? No way an AT101W can get such bids...

That's insane, if it were the old nice version NIB OK but this is the common one.

It does appear to be New In Bag

I spent 11 quid for my NIB one and I could've probably had it for less if I really tried xD .

Maybe someone misread "Alps Mechanical Keyboard White" as "Alps White Mechanical Keyboard".

Posted: **25 Dec 2015, 00:13**

White Alps are great, but this board had fetched more than some blue Alps boards have so far xD .

I think shrink wrapping does things to people. Scary things.

NAH THE BIDS ARE RIGGED! TAKE COVER EVERYONE!

Most probably Cherry MX vintage blacks in Germany:

And now, the finds:

I've "overspent" on a lot of keyboards...random lucky bargain's being the exception. Then again many were worth their price.

Posted: **25 Dec 2015, 20:11**

Yeah same here. I've only spent over $100 on a keyboard and that was one you can usually only find in Japan.

Right, it's "worth it" if it is so to you and your wallet can take it. With older keyboards lucky bargains do happen to me on occasion. This NTC KB-6151 I'm typing on now cost me one Euro, but it looked like shit in the auction. A few keyboards I own I spent 150+ Euros on. It's all relative.

From the back of the keyboard, I would say that is not a model m, its to thin.
