I am looking for a Topre CC Skull for one of my friend. But I am not sure what would be a reasonable price for the cap. Anybody could do me this favor? Thank you

Good luck!

Current market price is over 60$.

Just wait out until you can buy one from CC himself, or somebody offers a nice price.

I have a Chincony KB-5181 with MX Blues old AT adapter naked without keys (they were so worn down it was awful) fully functional but there are bits of rust on the board. It was in quite bad shape but I fixed it up.

How much would you guys pay for a working sega teradrive (with keyboard)

Okay, this is basically useless because I'm so uninformed but I would pay 100 EUR.

Edit: This may be ridiculously low, I have no clue. It can serve as a lower bound.

How much are old FACIT typewriters worth, either mechanical or electrical? Someone near my old folks has like ten of them, some of which are digital and record on tape. I couldn't take of any caps while they were there so I don't know which type of switch was inside, perhaps someone here knows. I took some pics but I forgot to bring a cable to my parents so I won't be able to post them until I get home, Tuesday.

So, any ideas?

I thought I'd post some pictures along to get a more accurate price of the keyboard.

As said earlier it's a Chicony KB-5191 with MX blues cherry switches.

that guy from ebay (hdexe) must have made lots of money. Does he have an infinite resource of Model Ms?

The good ones are getting rarer..
But prices did always vary a lot 40-90

Mabe he works at a recycling plant

I need a price check on a Cherry Model 3700 CYA, except mine is a "DiskChek" variant. It had a DiskChek label on the top that came off and I can no longer find.

EDIT: Swapped pic on top, found the label

are the coloured key caps cherry corp or signature plastics?

How much should this keyboard with mx black clone with double shot keycaps get?

+ Stepless caps lock
- Huge enter key

Its old and dusty and came with a 486 computer

That's a strange one.
Case doesn't look cherry made but caps are genuine cherry.
Can you post more information on model etc

Way strange, Cherry keycap, MX switch does not say Cherry, but does it have the led inset in the upper housing? Clean up those keycaps so can see how worn they are better, the keycaps at least could possibly fetch a good amount ($50-75) if they aren't too beat up.
For the Chicony 51*1's with vintage MX blues, I say you should be able to get at least $40 due to the switches. I picked one up for about that myself so I feel it's a good price, I'm putting mine into a much smaller plexi case if I can ever get it finished.

The chicony was worth 250 a year ago because some Swiss guy was looking for them. But I think he doesn't want any additional ones.

It says "ATTI"



Googling this brings me nowhere, it simply is an no-brand keyboard.



Pulling some of the keys out.



Delicious vintage doubleshots.



No idea what this is.

xt and at switch

Wow that is mysterious one, switches are 100% like Cherry including the housing, identical to Cherry doubleshots, they must have licensed at some point or it's all the best Taiwanese copy of Cherry ever.
