Welcome to Boardsort™ - Learn - Sell - Profit -

I have recently as part of a computer shop cleanup received about 700 keyboards to get rid of. Other than the wire and mylars there’s basically nothing to most keyboards……after looking I did not see a category for keyboard mylars anywhere on BS’s price list. Do they not accept them or is it classified as something else?

Posted recently, mixed wire.

If you have older keyboards mixed in there may be some significant resale value. Lostinlodos discussed it somewhere in the forum before. I'll try and find that later.

Good point.
Old keyboards in general (mid 90s back) can have value. And mechanical keyboards can have significant value.
IBM and Apple mechanical keyboards can fetch hundreds.
Commodore’s CBM El 96 key from Europe can fetch thousands if you come across one. Old Apple (RS serial) (phone Jack) keyboards are in that range.

Push a key down. If it click or if they are all stuff you have a mechanical. And even the worst condition mechanical is worth eBaying.
The parts are vital to the retro market. Take it apart and sell parts for double or triple DOA value if it’s damaged.
