      An interesting thing that I think we’ll see a lot more of over the next couple of years: the geeky kids who grew up with D&D et al are now geeky adults with mortgages and can afford golf-level price points for cultural goods that historically don’t have them.https://twitter.com/jhooks/status/1192856442425901056 …

      the market for used "vintage" keyboards in a nutshell… the prices are absurd

      Absurd...ly low! ;) Partially I’m emotionally committed to saying that but partially I kinda get the appeal. People want differentiation from every other computer user, have substantial disposable income, and have great emotional attachment to their image and their hardware.

          the nice thing is that the existence of this market enables production of really nice products that just naturally cost that much @UltHackKeyboard is the best computer peripheral I've ever used, couldn't exist without prior market in weird prestige keyboards

          i'm very aware people could say the same thing about my attachment to vintage furniture and art but i'm only human, i still think it's weird to spend that much on a keyboard
