These folks have some of the most inflated prices. It's disgusting. I hope someone can afford to rescue this thing from their grimy hands.

It shouldn't be missing a key at that price, in my opinion.

Agreed. Really wish I could pick this up but it's out of my budget range :(.

I am rather neurotic when it comes to completeness, so I personally wouldn't pay more than a fraction of that price, especially since it will likely be extremely difficult to replace that single, missing key.

Seeing insane prices like these makes me very thankful for my incredibly lucky beam spring find.

I understand that Selectric keys are compatible with them.  There are sellers on eBay that sell replacement Selectric keys.  :p

Ah, I had forgot, you are right.  Just need to grab a key cap that is the correct profile and reasonably close to the original cap, then.
