"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

Life is easier when people are careful and don't make mistakes.

I'm still waiting on the AT F I bought a few weeks ago since they sent something else the first time I'm not risking another one as tempting as it may be.

PS: DON'T buy this based on the pic I messaged the seller be put the wrong pic up.  :-\

If any of you fell for this scam, be advised the actual keyboard you are about to get is a 122-key Model M made by Lexmark in 1994.

So I was the one that bought it, I messaged the seller asking for more pictures and asked that he would confirm that it was the item in the photo and not a model M as listed. He replied, "its the model M i had issue with the listing i couldn't remove it it automatically select the listing one here are mine, please let me know if you are satisfied." He had 2 pics of a M 122 key attached. I asked to cancel and he said no problem. Auction has been cancelled and paypal money has been refunded. Crisis averted.

Sorry, guys.

I try to be helpful but this weird crap is making me think that I should just sit on my hands.

This thread has helped me get quite a bit of good gear, over the years, so I do still think that it is valuable.
