FS (UK) STF/M/E keyboards job lots [SOLD]

Keyboards - untested, some may have keys missing / broken, cosmetic condition various due to yellowing as you would expect. All pulled from machines by myself over the years.
I have about 60. Looking to sell in lots of 20 or more. £10 per keyboard in the >20 bulk amounts (excluding shipping).
I'm not looking to ship lower quantities as isn't worth the time in packing them up and I don't have suitable boxes anyway.
Also don't forget to check out my other clearance threads and other items in the FS forum.

If you made an Atari keyboard -> USB HID adapter (e.g. I think you could easily do it using an RPi nano, probably already been done on GitHub) so that people could put an RPi 5 into an Atari ST case you could shift these keyboards and any corresponding cases you had in record time I am sure. And make a profit.

I would rather not bother and just clear them out in a job lot and have done with it, I have enough projects starved for time already :)
I mean keys are selling for like £5 a pop, so someone should be able to get their money back easily. I did strip and clean some keys for selling individually.. But the time in programming my store to deal with it all.. just not worth the effort for me. Quick look on evilbay and they seem to be listed for like £40 each alone.
My intention was to clean and test them all, I could sell them for a lot more, but I just don't have the time and frankly can't be bothered anymore. RSI limits me to a lot of pain just doing a few forum posts each day, nevermind anything else.
