If used ones have been selling in the $350-450 range, a new one should command at least a $50 premium.

I doubt it. I just meant that when the price goes over about 4X the price of a standard M, a few hours at the work bench is not so bad.

It looks like it could possibly be a refurb like Dork mentioned. It's missing a rubber "foot" on the top right and there is a small ding in the case just above the retractable "foot" on the right. Plus, that is weird that it has a label on top of the original.

They have a sliding scale with a lot of variables, but that is not too far off. Auction is cheaper than fixed price, shorter time is cheaper than longer time. Reserve is stupid and costs extra.

I recommend a "reverse auction" where you start at a very high fixed price and drop it by 10% every so often until you sell.

Sooo, what happened? Did the seller decide to end the auction without selling? Can you do that?

He relisted it:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/131049138663

Listing text is the same with the added comment:

"Item had to be relisted due to High Bidder NOT planning on paying for item. Serious Bidders only Please."

How did he know that the buyer was not planning on paying for the item? Is he a mind-reader?

I wondered when that was going to happen. It was very suspicious that it shot up so high and so fast. It's all a little fishy isn't it FH? (rhetorical)

He could have contacted the high bidder while the auction was still going.

However, if the auction wasn't over he could have just cancelled the high bidder's bid.   The story as is does not make a lot of sense, especially when he had two bids over $500.

Shill bidding only works if you back off before the closing bell.

High bidder contacted seller and asked to be removed from bid. As he was not going to have funds available for the sale. Item will be sold this week to high bidder. Sheel bidding is against ebay policy and seller would not do that and jeopardize his livelihood.  Was not fair to high bidder to keep item running exposing his max bid and making it a easy snipe. contacted high bidder and asked him if he alright with that and he stated it was in his best interest to do exactly that. Hoping that I have serious bidders this week. I wish all bidders good luck.

Yes..I was told it was up on this forum and I read the comments and I felt I needed to comment before more speculations arose and set record straight. I am just a average ebay seller and had no idea these items were so sought after, until the last auction when crazy. Just thought I would set the record straight. I started it at same price and will let it fall where it may to the highest bidder. Have a great day guys.

No, I do believe he was genuine but he stated he had a unexpected expense come up and was not able to pay for it if he had won it. No biggy things happen and life goes on.  Just unfortunate that I had to wait another week for it sell.

That's TOTALLY NOT POSSIBLE

Only Geekhackers are enthusiastic enough about keyboards to put in such high bids.

Ignorant outsiders would be picking up keyboards from Church sales and thrift shops for $1.  :))

yup, geekhackers are bidding.

You think?

I was assuming that it was ignorant outsiders.
