Overpriced eBay listings and the likes. - $299 for a yellowed, no-brand, "vintage" keyboard. It's a deal!

[Kel1 shi1]

The thing with these chinks, at least on Australian ebay, is that they are selling for literally 1-2 cents profit on their items, there is no competition for anyone else to come in and try and compete with them

It's the heavily subsidized postage in China that makes it possible.

I wonder if the 2021 CWC coins would be appropriate here or whether I should start a new thread. I understand the scarcity part but for what the initial outlay was (if any considering some Kiwis received double orders from what I've gathered) and the whole fiasco with there being a rapist on the coins, the prices sellers want on eBay seems opportunistic. Thoughts?

This thread has a lot of potential. I hope it picks up.

Also, fuck the cunts marking up retro tech and gaming shit to ludicrous prices because of the bubble that's currently surrounding them. It's near impossible to find an old dysfunctional console to do restoration work on because even the worst condition items are marked up by ridiculous amounts. Your PS1 that's missing the disk drive, all cables, the top lid and has broken controller ports should not be $100+ you greedy motherfuckers.

The retro tech and video game community is seeing hyperinflation in prices of their hobby for the same reason the German people saw it in The Weimar Republic. The Jews!

Collecting keyboards is a thing? Autism is a terrible thing. Of all the things you could collect, stamps, coins, transformers toys. Instead your autism compels you to collect computer keyboards.

Some people collect, but for many they are functional purchases. If you have to spend 8-12 hours a day typing on something, you really do want the perfect keyboard. Modern keyboards span from absolute crap to great, but there are a few vintage keyboards that incorporate features that you can't find on any modern keyboard (the best way I can explain this is a car built in the 70's compared to a car built in the 90's), and some people love them. Since they are no longer made, and time reduces the number of functional units that are available, they tend to increase in price with time. For some people finding just the right keyboard for their typing style is the difference between optimal performance and productivity, and aggravating a persistent medical condition and being in constant pain.

I say this as someone who uses a specific model of keyboard that was made in 1991 and uses two adapters to interface with a modern computer.

Will never, ever, ever get my head round this, paying hundreds for a shit game you can download for free in a matter of seconds.

Worse still are Retro YouTubers that buy at ludicrous prices and then play on an emulator.

Like authenticity is having a box on a shelf .

 

[Caustic Gelatin]

Looking for miniatures for a tabletop game that isn't a games workshop game, but also not completely dead or completely obscure. Most the listings are like 1 outdated model for 1/3-1/2 the price of getting a box with a updated version of the miniature +other models. On the rare occasion that someone puts a lot (that are usually opened, assembled and primed/painted) up its usually more expensive then it would be to just buy new boxes of the damn things.

Holy fuck guys its not like its a dead game. The company still exists, they are still making models. You somehow you want me to pay you more for shit I'm going to have to strip and clean and possibly repair.

I know all about it, trust me. That video is worth a watch by anyone who doesn't, though. Retro gaming really is in an atrocious state right now. Hope it levels out soon. (It probably won't. )

I actually agree on this. Most people interested in keyboards as a hobby are writers, programmers, or gamers. A hobby in keyboards usually starts only because of a pre-existing interest in computers and tech as a whole. Outside of the soybrained r/mechanicalkeyboards tards who just consoom flashy and expensive shit for the sake of getting more style points and bragging rights, I don't see any issue with the hobbyists themselves or the actual hobby unless they're spending in absurd excess.

Not to start this debate here, but IMO as long as what you're collecting makes you happy, doesn't consoom your soul and also isn't fucking weird (like dildo collectors) than I'm fine with it. That mindset extends to the keyboard nerds.

 

[whatever I feel like]

also isn't fucking weird (like dildo collectors)

Is that a thing?

 

[Super Dilator Duel 3D]

Is that a thing?

Of course it is. I don't have the screenshots saved but somewhere on this site (I think either in the tranny sideshows or drop kiwifarms threads, cant remember) was a troon posting pictures of their dog dildo collection. It had tens of dildos shaped like dog penises. No, I'm not fucking with you.

If anyone can find it, please post here.

That explains it, I was thinking of people, not trannies.

Oh fuck, I don't have the picture but I do remember seeing it at some point. I also remember that the troon in question had the dog dildos covered by insurance.

You found CWC coins on eBay? link?

At least its collecting old keyboards and not redditors buying new keyboards off massdrop.com to send photos of them hanging on their walls to reddit.

Bad dragon dildos are expensive which is why a used market exists. It's gotten more prevalent because the guy running bad dragon shut down production during the virus and only takes limited orders every so often. People are pissed and the guy seems like a narcissistic asshole. Apparently people are just buying from etsy businesses instead.

We really need to start our own kiwBay, because I read that as "Jersh control auction house, Jersh control grading".

It'd have all the best stuff.

Speak for yourself- I bought some originally from the initial run for about $50 each: One of them I took to a professional jeweler and turned into a silver medallion- the other one I just flipped a few hours ago for $300 profit.

If any of you have spare 2021 Kiwi Farm Silver coins I am telling you that you can very easily flip them for $250 on eBay. I assume it's the same element CWC people that buy shit from him and crowdfund his trips to bronycons and shit (or at least used to) more than actual Kiwis

Bruh what the fuck, who is paying this much for these. For that money you can probably mint your own CWC coins
