I have two genuine IBM 84 key keyboards for sale. The UK layout part 6450225.

One has been used on my 486-25 for near 30 years, the other has never been used but has 'good' written on it!

I like these keyboards because I programmed WordStar and Brief to use the function keys, far more convenient than the keys on the top. But hardly use them now, and have a clone 84 key keyboard that I can use, and not as valuable!

As anyone knows, these are heavy, several kg, so whilst posting is eminently feasible the cost isn't, also the packing needed.

They are used, even with a clean there are shadows on the keys but reluctant to overdo it and ruin them.

Price? A search produces prices of $500, which is very nice but seems a bit high, what about £250 each plus postage? Collection possible, near Grantham.
 
It will be easier to sell your keyboards, if you take some photos.

I've been collecting mechanical keyboards for at least 10 years now and although the prices have gone up in the recent years, Ł250 per board is very very optimistic. Just look at 'Sold items' on eBay and see for yourself. You'll have to search for 'IBM Model F AT keyboard' as that's what you have. For example, a refurbished board in top shape recently sold for Ł130:
