This'll be a nice deal if no one bids more on it.

Untested IBM Keyboard Model: M (42538790) (ShopGoodwill.com)








With 12 hours to go (at this writing), current minimum bid is $32.00 plus $13 U.S. shipping.

I bet this goes for around $60 with shipping.

Currently    $76.27 USD

Exceeding all expectations.
"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

And it sold for that. Well! Are '401s in decent shape going for around $90 shipped now? My wife will be glad to hear that, given I bought a few she thought were junk.  :?)
