You asked for a week and paid in 3 days. And it was a direct sale anyway. No problem there.

Tombstone doubleshots on Fujitsu leaf spring, nice but overpriced.

I have that, too... But only when I try to sell my cherry board with SAD caps... I still have that one packaged up at home. Tried it three times, even at deskthority someone wanted it and never got around to pay for it...

scottc · 01 Jul 2016, 17:25

It's a SAD situation...

Blaise170 · 01 Jul 2016, 20:11

It bugs me because so many buyers will decide after the fact that they don't want to buy, beating out another buyer by say $1. Next time I list it it'll end up going for $15-20 less than it did the first time. I lucked out this time and had someone do a Second Chance Offer for $7 less (buyer that couldn't pay had 0 feedback and the next up only had 3, the one that accepted had 300+).

If anyone got all 9 of these I would love to buy one. Been searching for that A-profile bottom row for years

The price is delusional, but this would be a really fun board if it had better switches

I've mentioned this Packard Bell several times.

It's been documented as well on GeekHack and on youtube and on a Japanese personal blog.

...And it's also one of the last boards I want for collection.

I tried offering the seller before there were bids, but it was an early night for me, and despite accepting, it was too late for me when I woke up, since these newbie bidders started hounding the listing.

Oh well. It's almost just like the FK-2001 incident, haha.

It's all good, but these poor inexperienced bidders are going to keep outbidding each other until the end when someone else swoops down and snags it.

I've got my sights set on it at least up until a certain point. I say $150 max, and that's it.

Or the keyboard at least.

Khronokrator · 02 Jul 2016, 19:21

Yep, this is going to go up to $400 at the current rate. I wish eBayers would realize that early bidding like this does nothing more than drive the price up to levels only crazy Korean collectors can afford.

Haha and now already 40 euros

seebart · 02 Jul 2016, 21:21

I really figured you'd have plenty SKCM blue Alps boards by now E3E, you still gotta come with the kitten pic?

yangdaddy · 02 Jul 2016, 21:35

crazy Korean is redundant

The end of the collection? I didn't think that was possible. What are you going to do with yourself if/when that happens?

Wait, is that the badge we just had printed in the GB?

That's it, that's the original ! That's why it's US $979.00.

webwit · 02 Jul 2016, 23:18

It's a very nice collector's item, but not $979 nice.

I do, I do. <3 I'm fine with the amount I have, but this Packard Bell is a board I've always had my eyes on. I'm not a particularly big fan of the brand, but it's a neat keyboard.

Well, at it's one of the cornerstones I've been looking for you could say.

I'm very happy with what I have and will likely always seek out neat boards and such, but for the most part, all of the boards on my short list have been found except this one.

Accodata Keycat I and II. Neither are the Blue Alps variant, and they're far too rich for my blood, but doubleshots with an integrated trackball makes these absurdly cool to me.

Anytone who actually owned a Packard Bell would be highly suspect of their ability to do anything, let alone a keyboard, well. They could screw up Blue Alps.

μTRON for ~250 EUR
Pretty good price considering they are double that brand new. Looks like it comes with the palm rests too.

Very tempting...

That is interesting. Should appeal to folks who like SSK-size layouts.

Yeah, I've never heard great things about Packard Bell. HP isn't much of a stretch from the PB days, it seems.
