Industrial Model M $175 OBO
« on: Sun, 29 March 2015, 22:39:12 »
There's 4 watchers, so I'm assuming they're all waiting on offers to be approved or rejected.  Expensive for a grey case, but in line with prices I've seen.

I believe it will need a bolt mod.  It is still a pretty cool find.
I hope someone from here gets it.

So I offered $130 and they counter offered with $150. Considering shipping is free within the US and I will be shipping it to a proxy company which will charge me approx $70-$100. Total price will be about $250USD to get it to Australia.... I am happy with that and can cross this kind of board off my Model M wishlist.  :thumb:

Nice - congrats ;)
"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

I thought that industrial Ms sold for well over $200 + shipping.
"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.”"
