This is for /USED/ /AS-IS/
keyboards. Important points are in bold.
Odds are on the buyer’s side though as these are
pretty robust boards. I’ve personally bought 7 various Apple
ALPS mechs sold “as-is” from varying locations and
conditions and they’ve all worked perfectly even the one
that had its case compromised by USPS.
I ended up
buying one of these off ebay via the great finds subforum.

Picked it up and this happened:

So I ended up getting this one and upon picking it up
locally as they are literally just down the street from me.
It turns out they have a decent sized crate with approx. 20+
of them for quite some time and they ended up putting it by
the wayside as they didn’t know about the griffin imate to
test them with.
Their supervisor wasn’t there when I
went to pick mine up but from the looks of it and what the
employees were expressing, there’s a good chance I can start
a groupbuy due to my close proximity to them. Probably for a
better price too considering they’ve been around for awhile
and there’s no need to trans-ship or taxes as they accept
$cash$ in person.
If you’re interested let me know via PM, otherwise you’ll
find them on ebay as they’re planning to do
soon/*.
They all appear pretty clean with only some yellowing
of the case and spacebar for reasons mentioned above.
Otherwise, the keycaps are in great condition. Switches are
/not/ gritty.
Yes these are
ex-school district. Newark Unified School District to be
exact. But they are by no means abused or used to the
ground. The one I bought worked perfectly as is. I could
test them all given I have time.
They are engraved on
the back with school district information and inventory and
some have been written with sharpie on the back as well with
school district asset related information.
There are a
few cables but most are without cables. But it’s common
knowledge that you can use a s-video cables in place of ADB
cables.
It didn’t occur to me in the excitement of one
of the employee’s showing me the trove of them to take a
picture of them until the last minute but they’re in the
container on the ground:

The one I got:

They are /all/ in this condition.
None of them are missing caps.
There’s been some
interest already expressed. Any other takers?
There are definitely not enough cables for every
keyboard, probably only a handful! ASSUME you will not
receive an ADB cable. Said ADB cable can be substituted
with any S-video cable however.
You will need a
griffin iMate to use the keyboard with a modern
computer.
