Priciest rubber dome Model M ever
« on: Sun, 26 December 2010, 11:03:01 »
It is my duty to point out whenever an ebay Model M is actually a rubber dome board.

So that would be a not-so-great-find.

True. The 71G4644 is rubber dome, the 82G is buckling spring. That's an odd couple.

Not a new listing.  It was up before, and not surprisingly, no bidders.

Yeah, something like that!

I stand corrected, you can spend more on a rubber dome Model M.

Along with some paranormal bidding.  Started out at $.99 but someone managed to singlehandedly bid it up to $275.  Weird.

Ok, that makes sense.  I guess the seller's strategy of lowering the minimum bid but setting a high reserve worked in this case.

As you say though, pretty dumb for the buyer.  If someone wanted a NIB M, why not just buy one from Clickykeyboards?  Much cheaper I'd think.  The 71G4644 Rubber Dome has gotta be worth very little even if it is NIB.
