Spoiler:

Condition: I thoroughly cleaned the keyboard, keycaps, and other small parts. The keyboard is in very good condition. More specifically:

• Externally: the keyboard is in perfect external condition, the top plastic case doesn't have scratches or parts where the paint is missing.
• Internally: the switches feel very good, smooth, and aren't dirty. There isn't any corrosion and all the previous galvanization is still intact. In my opinion, it doesn't need a foam replacement, there isn't a lot of wobble. But if you want I can ship some EVA 2 mm foam.
• Functionality: I tested every key with the controller and they all work. The layout might be a little hard to get used to but with a good setup (the controller uses QMK) you can use the keyboard every day with no problems.

Keyboard price: 1099€ (with QMK usb controller) + shipping
Shipping worldwide, EU is preferred. Also listed on other websites.

The caps are yellowed, but can be retrobrighted fairly easily.

Beautiful board, GLWS

As far as i know, the caps are not confirmed abs and retrobriting is a bit risky and not that straightforward.

I vaguely recall someone tried and wrapped their caps badly. Happy to stand corrected because I don’t remember very clearly

I did it and it worked well.
