[SOLD] Pristine IBM Model F-122 (too pricey, but pretty)
« on: Sat, 08 September 2018, 02:43:12 »
IBM Vintage 1985 Mechanical Clicky 122-Key Model F Terminal Keyboard 6110347























At a BIN of $499.99, few of us would consider actually buying this. (Indeed, the price might qualify it for the "Not-So-Great Finds" section.) But it sure is pretty, isn't it? I just wanted you to get a look at it. – A.

That price seems high to some of us, but not really outlandish considering what ancient IBM iron has been fetching lately.
"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

Someone bought it!

It must be nice to be able to snap up an unused F-122 to put your greedy little fingers all over.  :?D
