Marquadt in Germany have been clearing their old stock through mail order retailers at DM 70 (there's vaguely 1.5 DM per US $) (but German keycaps layout only, so you'd need indelible marker every 6 months) The keyboards before being declared `end of line' were going for a about DM 300. Then there's shipping, the German post extracts blood for postage ;-) I've also seen fold out/hinge together boards in my local (Munich) high street (Schiller str) for those schizoid folk who are ergonomic only half the time (or like to adjust the angle :-) Manufacturer was some well known co. like Cherry or some such.
