Not a particularly good find, but I found this funny:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHICONY-PS-2-AT ... 1722917978
This has got to be the yellowest, most horribly discoloured keyboard I've ever seen. I'd be inclined to think it was that colour originally if the back wasn't still relatively light!
Speaking of which, here's another one I found when looking up the details of the KB-5311:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Chicony-AT-Style ... 1243654320
The keys don't look like they're quite as ripe, but it sure is yellowed more thoroughly! I have to wonder how it was being stored to yellow so uniformly.

Is that a Cherry based keyboard on that laptop? Do you know what switches it uses?
Cherry MX Clears, I have an MC400 which is more or less the same. There should be some pics of the caps posted around somewhere, they're pretty nice.

My best guess? They belonged to smokers who didn't isolate their computers from their habit using 3 airlocks and a vacuum chamber.

No way, I used to smoke 1.5-2 packs a day and I never had such yellowing. A little bit yes, and only in the unused spots.

Right, I don't think cigarette smoke yellows plastics either. At least not like the yellowing were used to.

notice the F and J keys :p still 80euros for them is a bit steep. Seen many for 50 euros so I would consider that a much better price. Still i think these will go fast

He knows what he has got and what they are worth, so I agree the price is a bit high.
Interesting about his past auctions, will keep an eye on him to see what gets posted down the line.

He most certainly follows our discussions. As a matter of fact, he even reacted once:

Pravetz pop up from time to time, all of them I've ever seen use a magnetic reed switch.

Anyone know if this is a dome? It is sold by Ortek but I can't find a contact button and whoever took pictures obscured the label.

They have a contact phone, 562-367-3666. According to Google, this is Jason Flatt in Artesia, CA.

There is a link at the top of the page that directs you to Buyee, which is a service designed to ship the products abroad. Click the link and follow the instructions there.
