ONE NEW NOS IBM NO 6110345 MODEL F COMPUTER KEYBOARD !!! 2 AVAILABLE !!! H804 (eBay)

Not much to say... "New old stock" Model F-122s at quite a reasonable price, I'd say.

Is anyone on GH actually bidding on these?

Postage kinda kills these for me, in some cases it nearly doubles the price, not to mention the currency conversion.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Bad luck bro, with the AUD doing as it is right now. I would jump on another one as well if it wasn't for the dollar.

Ah, can never pass up new Model F's... had to get one of these even though a used one from Cindy would probably be half the price. Thanks for the tip, Ander.

Oh, you're right, I didn't notice the missing caps. These look like "old used stock in Saran Wrap".

The keyboard, perhaps, but postage will probably be more than the cost of the keyboard :(

The one on the right reminds me of my 122 Model M 1389162.



That was before it was converted to ANSI 121...

:confused:

This thread is two (2) years old.

It also contains the link in the OP that you can easily click to ascertain for yourself that they have been sold.  More than two (2) years ago.

Or have I missed something?

Don't tease like that.
"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.”"

Indeed. Fortunately, we've now well established that this was all a thing of the past. It's finished, kaput, defunct, over and done with, wrapped up, water under the bridge, finito.

Considering ZX Spectrum didn't even click the link, which would have immediately revealed that both had been sold (years ago), I don't think marking it as "[SOLD]" would have helped.  Not even sure how someone would find such an old "great finds" post.
