I hate to say it but you just increased the cost of getting that board. That is a Field Replacement Space saver that is still in the shrink wrap. If I had not just bought another keyboard I would really consider getting it myself. But you may get lucky and no one on Geekhack wants one right now. Also lucky for you and any Geekhack member now is that this auction is miss labeled. If they had put NIB in the title this board would be much higher already. So set-up your snipe software and try to get it.

Oh the description also states that they are throwing in a PS/2 cable wonder if it is new as well. The other ones like this that have gone on sale have not included the cable.

By the way, I've seen these before and I think we concluded that they were shrinkwrapped by the OEM, IBM never did this.  Still, should be a good deal since that ugly OEM label should be easy to strip off.

Look at the keycaps before buying - a little different.

True it is a OEM but still a new one. That seller also has a new OEM Model M as well that is currently sitting at $14.

Much to my chagrin, I didn't get it. There's always next time, right?
