This is the Model F, and looks like a fine specimen.

I have never bought from NCbound but I understand that he has a excellent reputation. His prices are never low, but not ridiculous either.

I've purchased several hard to acquire boards from him (all ALPs based) and they have all been in great condition with the exception of one.  He's an excellent seller.

Holy crap! AT Model F prices have sure gone up. I bought mine from ncbound a few years ago for around $70. I also bought a Model M from him.

He an OK seller, but he touches up the keyboards to make them look nicer than they actually are - using a paint (or cream?) that quickly wipes off. It was like that on both of mine. After getting my keyboards, I gave them a quick wipe with a damp paper towel and noticed it was covered with beige. The keyboards then showed marks that weren't visible before. That seems a bit fraudulent to me. I mentioned it to him, but got no response. I didn't complain though because the keyboards were otherwise great.

A couple of years ago the "going rate" jumped from $50-80 to $100-120 very quickly.

Good ones have sold since then for well under $100, but not consistently.

I would guess that today's rate is in the "low-mid-$100s" for an average one and the "mid-high-$100s" for a nice one.

My guess is that he will get the $250 after a while, because somebody will build up enough desire.
