Prices are just out of any reason… It’s a pity to see that but speculation is everywhere now, even on shitty old boards !

Some neat ALPS numpads I came across,https://www.ebay.com/itm/ALPS-KPX-17-KPX-17PB-10-Key-Mechanical-Clicky-Parallel-Keypad-NEW-IN-BOX/264978444987
I ended up grabbing one of the Glidepoint ones, hoping I can use it with an ADB convertor! I almost grabbed the regular numpad too, but it’s a serial connection & I’d have no ideal how to convert it LOL.

Damn, the price on that is wild but it is a beautiful board! I wonder if it came stock with the black coating & brass pen rail or if that is an aftermarket coating job? @SharktasticA any ideal if this is a really rare model or just customized?
That is so beautiful. Wouldn’t be surprised if it sells for beamspring levels of money.
Another Symbolics has hit eBay.

And I just like old Commodore stuff, so this caught my eye. It is probably Mitsumi rubber dome, not Cherry

It’s aftermarket. OG IBM 4704 keyboards were always painted white/off-white.

I’m honestly very tempted by this Seafarer Keyboard…
Are there some tried-and-true strategies that folks use to find interesting listings on eBay?

I’m not sure what strategies everyone uses. I just come across these keyboards randomly for the most part.
A couple of keywords I use are “vintage keyboard” and “IBM keyboard” and sorting by either priced highest or newly listed.

They aren’t actually Green Alps, they are Xiang Min clones:

Ah, that makes more sense. How do they feel like? Ever tried them?
