thats not cheap...

I paid £40 for a brand new A4000 keyboard a year or so back.. And i thought that was not cheap.

But one has to admit it's really a rather rare KBD made by Cherry for the very first A2000s. Single (real) switches for every key instead of the cheapo foil(or PCP) solution used for all KBDs withe big F-keys.

Shame mine died years ago (and no I'm not gonna buy it for that price  ;-)  ).

But, are these actually rare ?
I just found a well used, but working one in my closet  :idea:

What else have I got that's worth over a thousand?

I'm sure I saw someone selling an a2000 keyboard for a sane price on ebay recently

Even a top-of-the-line Maltron doesn't cost that much, and those keyboards are made of stainless steel.  :-o

"Finally, I am selling something that is actually RARE!"

"I am guilty of using the word "rare" for a lot of the stuff that I sell. Since it is a free country last time I checked, I have never felt guilty for doing so."

^^^For those alone, everything he sells should be avoided.

And, check out that shipping cost. Not enough to indicate that he'll be packing it securely to prevent damage to this rare and expensive item. :-/

It may be worth more than your typical run of the mill 2000 kb but not $200!  And sure as hail not $1200!

Now the seller suddenly changed the starting bid in $1.99
and removed the $1.200,00 buy it now option.
I wonder why... :roll:

He probably set the wrong price, as he removed it already..
