With 6 days, I suspect it to shoot way up.

Not sure why it's Blue Label.  In my experience most Blue Labels started around mid-1992.

Seller dude is a modder. He was selling those IBM labels a while back and he's still trying to sell that Blue Label, industrial casing full size Model M. No drainage channels on this one either, safe bet is it's a smurf!

My first thought was that he swapped casings or labels, but he doesn't mention anything about this in the listing and it seems odd given that he usually points this sort of stuff out in his previous ebay listings.

Here's a 1989 Blue Label without drainage channels...wait, what?

IBM part numbers are almost as random as ALPS switches.

Just when I think I have the labels and part numbers figured out, it's all wrong.

Okay, I'm the nut who bought this. Never in a million years thought I'd ever spend this much on a keyboard, and I did get a little carried away by a little bidding war there at the end—but I regret nothing! Especially now, with the keyboard here. It's perfect, and I love it, and we'll be together forever. For-ev-er!!  ;___;   happy tears

I won the other one. NIB but badly needs to be bolted. I regret, nothing!

Glad we didn't get into a bidding war for this one =D

It is a good thing. That red ESC key was like a goddamned matador's cape—I could not stop myself! It's just so jaunty.

How did the NIB work out otherwise? Am I remembering wrong, or were there unboxing pics that got eaten in the missing forum posts?

Nothing wrong with your memory. Heisenberg's was a (very nice) NIB gray label SSK with a few broken plastic rivets. His thread with the pics was lost in one of the rollbacks.
