Hi keyboard friends, it’s been a long time. I was really active on here like 5+ years ago, but tbh got to a point where I have several keyboards that are most excellent for me and kinda just lost interest in the diminishing returns of tinkering and just like, buying more stuff to have more stuff. I’ve got maybe four or five keyboards I use regularly, and like ten or more that have just been sitting for a few years. Same thing with keycaps I’ve probably got fifteen or more keysets and a ton of switches just sitting in my closet. I think it’s time to downsize and get rid of a bunch of stuff. Back in the day reddit mech market used to be the best way to sell stuff, is that still the case? Tbh I never liked selling stuff on there, such a headache with tons of people messaging you and then never messaging back or trying to scam etc. I sell stuff on ebay here and there, I was thinking of just throwing some of the key sets on there and seeing what happens, but sort of assumed I’d need something more specialized for more obscure keyboards. Any advice would be appreciated.
I’d say /r/mechmarket and its related Discord server are the best for good visibility by folks in the know. I do use eBay a lot, but mostly for bargain hunting. If you live in a larger area, your local discord can be good. You could also always throw up a listing here. The crowd is small but engaged.
my old person take is I hate discord lol, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that mechmarket has one. I forgot there was buy/sell on here, maybe I’ll through a couple boards up later.
I hear that, deeply, though it does worm its way in a little simply because it’s where the other people are. I’ve just decided to engage with it asynchronously and it is what it is. If I say something and don’t check for a response until hours later and it turns out I missed a conversation, then oh well.
I’ve made my peace with its being an important part of the hobby, but I truly do not understand what drew people to it in the first place.
I have a lot of switches from back in the day too, no idea what the switch scene is like these days but that might be something yall are more interested on here too.
I second the notion to post here as well. You may not get any bites because the regulars are a small group anymore, but it’s worth a shot. Plus you can create the post for mechmarket and just slap it in here since everyone is familiar with the format.
Definitely post here first. You’ll get less spam and if you haven’t bought in 5 years you might have some no longer sold things people here would want to buy.
And it’s less onerous. You can just list things and prices and no worry about pictures, timestamps or PMs, etc.
Do you happen to have a Rama Thermal in your collection? I am currently feeling like I am ready to make stupid decisions for that board… 
I’ve always wanted a thermal, but specifically a silver one. I was so bummed when they recently ran a second round of thermals and didn’t include silver 
It’s a fun design for sure!
Dang, I wanted a thermal too, but never got one. I miss talking keyboards with yall i def gotta get back on here once in a while 
I need to spend some more time thinking about what keyboards I want to hang on to and which ones I want to let go. The ones I’m for sure wanting to let go are the modern m0110 (too steep of an angle to be comfortable for me) and foxlab key65 (didn’t like the color in the end). I have way too many keysets too, I need to lay them out and make sure everything is there before I post them anywhere. The ones I was looking at letting go of first are
- gmk cyan 2d
- gmk froyo
- jtk valentine
- dcs sleeper
- gmk terminal
- a green and white DCS set, I think maybe DCS cream and cheese?
- infinikey sanctuary rebirth
interesting! It’s running again at the moment.
I would be interested in a few of these but I’ll let others have a chance since I have plenty 
Which color modern M0110 do you have?
It’s the classic beige one with the matching keyset. I really wanted to love it but it’s just too tall and angled.
I thought I remembered it was beige. I have the same. No need for 2 of the same
