NEW REDUCED PRICE for 2023:Lot-of-10: $11.33 ($1.13 each keycap) Shipping cost is extra.) INFO.

LOW-COST KEYCAP CATEGORIES:Read this carefully! Two types of keycaps are LOW-COST:(A) ALPHABET LETTERS from "A" to "Z" and(B) PUNCTUATION CHARACTERS: ,< .> -_ =+ / * - ;: '" [{ ]} + `~ directional arrows: left / right / up / down/? Reset \| CLEAR I am making the low-cost keycap categories cheaper than ever,because some of the low-demand keycaps have rarely everbeen sold, and I still have 20-35 keycaps available now foreach of these slow-selling types! HIGH-DEMAND HIGH-COST KEYCAPS:Every other keycap is HIGH-DEMAND and HIGH-COST; theseare $3.40 each (Exactly three-times the cost of the low-costkeycaps described above.) The high-cost keycaps includeALL NUMBERS, from either top row or numeric keypad. TheHIGH-DEMAND KEYCAPS also include these: TAB CAPS-LOCK SHIFT CONTROL OPTION DELETEESC SPACEBAR. Note that the high-demandkeycaps are priced at exactly THREE TIMES THE COSTof the low-cost keycaps, so you can combine the twotypes in the same purchase. Just make the total purchasecost add up to ten units, at $11.33 plus shipping. These were salvaged from several 1984-1986junked IIe keyboards, with either olive-green or black-colored bottom keycaps. NO GUARANTEE ON THE KEYCAP COLOR!Note that the IIE keycaps are nearly40 years old. Color changes are likelyto happen to plastic during that verylong time interval. Plenty of olive-green-bottom(or black-colored bottom) plastickeycaps are available, with thecross-mount on the bottom of thekeycap. Both the black and the "thin-white-stem" key-switches are stillavailable. $11.33 for a combination of ten,within the low-cost keycap categories. The photos show olive-green keycaps; somewith olive-green bottoms,others with black bottoms.Specify which bottomcolor is preferred. The $1.13 price is for each item,with minimum low-cost keycapsadding up to ten per lot. "HIGH-DEMAND" IIE KEYCAPS:These are now sold in a separate Ebayad, at a higher price, because the "H.D."keycaps are in high demand. The "H.D."IIe keycaps include the following:All "managing" keycaps, such as DELETE, SHIFT, TAB, CAPS-LOCK, ESC, OPTION,or RETURN. All NUMBERS are in the high-demand category. For the two most popular keycaps:SPACEBAR or ESC, purchase limit isone of each, per buyer. 60-Day Returnif DissatisfiedIf returned for refund, buyer pays shipping in bothdirections. Items returned for refund must be intheir original condition, without modifications. (editorial comment) REGARDING APPLE II"KEYCAP SHARKS" I looked through the Ebay ads at others' offers for these keycaps - some are charging as high as$8.95 each for these keycaps or keyswitches.Yes, $8.95 for EACH KEYCAP! That high price is outrageously disgusting. No one at the annual KansasFest conference overcharges at all; Some at K-Fest give away their surplus items for free. The Ebay predators who overcharge are not part of the Apple II community; they are "sharks" who have heard that there is big money to be made from Apple II loyalists. These "sharks" would likely sell admissiontickets to their mother's funeral if they believed thatanyone would pay. They calculate that Apple II usersare so desperate for particular items that they will payridiculously high prices. I hope that my lower $1.13 or $3.40 prices on these keycaps underprices allthe sharks, and puts them out of business! Generous combinedshipping discount You pay mainly the single largest shipping cost. Other items in same parcel, will be shipped with minimal extra cost. Weighed shipments will be the actual cost.

But now, I amreturning to international first class mail becausecorrespondents report that Ebay's GSP fees are extremely high when lightweight small itemssuch as keycaps are shipped. International first class rates are approx, $18.00 dollarsfor a small shipment of ten keycaps, toapprox. $28.00 for a full set of keycaps. Anyoverpayment above actual postage costwill be refunded to the buyer immediatelyafter the shipment has been mailed.
