Hi,
I got two vintage keyboards. One is for sale/trade : Tandon Cherry with US key standard and switch between PC (XT) and AT mode. Perfect visual and technical condition - was completely disassemled then cleaned and at the end tested on XT motherboard.
Price is 45 EUR + shipping to :
Germany 4,50 EUR as "packchen"
Czech Republic 7 EUR as airmail package
Europe 18 EUR as groundmail package or 27 EUR as airmail package
Payment can be done by :
a) bank transfer to german or polish account - no additional fees
b) PayPal - no fees at "GIFT/FRIENDS" option or in other case + 3,9%
c) Moneybookers - no fees

Wow... are keyboards really that collectable?
Well, it would seem so actually because once I stumbled across a keyboard collecting website when trying to ID a k/b chip.
I've got a huge box full of keyboards in my shed... |

If you have full box of working XT kbs so you are wasting some great british pounds. This board isn't dedicated to keyboard collector but to person who have XT boards and no keyboard. In fact price of keyboard is only 5 EUR + 3 hours of cleaning and testing 40 EUR (my free time isn't cheap  )
BTW. I have been looking for it last few years. I know there are XT keyboards on eBay.com for 44 $ and up but they looks like someone vomited over them and with yellow plastic.
So if you are not a hardware geek you will not understand why I so much wanted XT keyboard to test my 808x chips  (that wasn't to you donutty)
PS. Date code of my kb is 10 week 1989y.

Yes they can be.
Several years ago I sold 3 IBM model M's on eBay for $150 -$170, New in the box.
I'm typing on one of the old IBM's now... almost indestructible

were they the Model M "Space Saver" type?
as they seem to command the best prices, as the last NIB one went for $212

Same price as for Logitech G19. But in fact I'm sure that IBM survives those Logitechs
Looks very similar to my Cherry :

Yes, that's the one.
I have four left but they have rusty springs. It may be time to repair them

I am myself looking for them, no luck so far...
But I prefer to pay 40€ on cpus rather than a keyboard.
Btw, business is business not philanthropy. Marcin overclocked his € margin |
