Title: Model M13 New-Old Stock: [Ended]
Post by: jacethesaltsculptor on Wed, 15 January 2020, 18:08:22: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-NOS-IBM-M13-Black-Clicky-Keyboard-13H6705-1997-Maxi-Switch-1996-PS2/293426119243

Price is quite high on this, as you can get a Model F XT, or an AT if you are really vigilant for this price, but it is new old stock, that's a rarity.

I would say that I have a friend I have been trying to help get one, but he doesn't even want to spend $200, so it wouldn't be likely that I would find one that cheap before another $200 one anyway, I suppose. I could keep an eye out.

I can't imagine shipping one of those bricks to Germany will be cheap.

Not that it is cheap, but the USPS flat rate board game box goes international for around $80 and easily holds any keyboard, even a 122-key.

But I sympathize with the seller, I have pretty much stopped selling internationally on ebay for a variety of reasons, postage being only one of them.

Post by: E TwentyNine on Thu, 16 January 2020, 15:56:56: That's a nice find, but I'd be surprised if that cable outer rubber doesn't disintegrate when touched. The "flat" cables tend to do that after a long time.

That's a pretty fair price for an AT, I paid that, and they go for even more usually.
