Yes, mechanical keyboards fetch a good resale price. They also go by the terms "spring buckling", and "klicky". People who write code all day long can rely on the feel of the keystroke to ensure that they did indeed enter the character. The first time you come across one you will feel it work. There will typically be an "m" in the model number for mechanical. I had a batch of about 15 or so that all sold for $20 or better each on e-bay plus shipping. Some older IBM models can fetch even more.
