$10 Israeli Model M shipped for the low low price of $110!
« on: Mon, 17 November 2014, 23:41:58 »
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Vintage-IBM-1378710-Model-M-Clicky-PS-2-Keyboard-Working-Good-Hebrew-English/121486417015?

I feel that this particular sale does little to counter certain Jewish stereotypes, to say the least.

And if the shipping wasn't over $100 US to Australia I would have a Jewish model M to go with the Arabic/english keyboard on my laptop... dam

To play on more Jewish stereotypes:

$120 shipped is nothing to your average Goldman Sachs banker, so why begrudge their indulgences?

I doubt a Goldman Sachs banker uses a grubby old Model M

It has BS on the top right hand key. That is probably what this is.

I cant read the characters in the upper right but that's definitely the gold-plated HHKB lite Japanese layout (as jwaz said). I don't know of many Chinese keyboards with a dedicated button for "kana".

as far as "bs" its supposed to be decent for a rubber dome.

More on topic to the item at hand, there's this guy in israel who has been selling or trying to sell hebrew-layout keyboards for a while now. I didn't get a chance to look at the auction but based on the price and shipping I bet its the same guy just relisting it again. If its the one im thinking of its been up for over half a year.
