[ClassicMac]

OK ok not the deal of the century but I was pretty happy to get this for 29 shipped !

comes with the 1990 version of they keyboard (im hoping for salmon switches) and the classic desktop mouse. I think I got a good deal!

Not too shabby.  I have both versions of that keyboard, early one with salmon and the later revision with cream.  Even though they're technically identical save for the dampeners, the clicky feedback is still somehow better.

Keyboard was supposed to come in today, unfortunately the seller sent the wrong keyboard sending me a inferior apple one (Non mechanical). In other news I also received my drakware ADB to usb and I recommend it a lot.

Any news about your AEKII? 

I just bought one for a lot more (70 bucks shipped), and it doesn't come with any mice or cords... but it's a zero mileage keyboard (clean, never used and still platinum!). Those things are expensive (not as much as an early Model M but still.)

The seller is going to send the proper keyboard to me and I’m gonna return the one I have with a postage label provided. I feel bad for the seller as she seems pretty nice and accommodating but communication has been great from the seller. 

In other news I used my drakware usb2adb connector and I am in love with it. Currently have it attached to my Apple adjustable keyboard and a old adb trackpad. The keys have this crunch that’s isn’t as quite crispy as the AEII but still very satisfying compared to newer keyboard.

Hi. I'm new here so let me know if I'm breaking any rules.... but what is the going cost on these keyboards?  I just sold one yesterday with a mouse and ADB cable for $20. He asked me about the key switches so I showed him these pictures:

I'm happy with the deal since I bought 100 of these and Mac SE/30's and some Mac Classics from Kodak when the digital camera caused a massive layoff for $50 for the keyboards, cables and mice and $100 for the Mac's so I still made money. I'm just wondering what the going rate is because I still have about a dozen of them in storage.

Thanks, and again I hope I'm not breaking rules.

The eBay going rate depending on condition is 40+ for used ones that work to 100+ for new in box ones. I wouldn't sell one below 40 dollars on eBay. Prices will NOT decrease in the future.
