I hope it was all rubbish stuff and not mechanical/hybrid switch keyboards. I've got a fondness for mitsumi KPQ type, at the very least the rubber sleeves are a great upgrade for amigas.
A running theme is the idea of something being either viewed as worthless or impossible to shift, getting scrapped or chucked out, meanwhile the one person on earth looking for one is unaware, skint or too far away to get it.
I think there's only one cure for that, better documentation of what we own and better communication between all us geeks. There should be some national matchmaking service for situations like these, with perhaps also a black ops team for rescuing stuff from "recycling centres" as tips like to call themselves now.
