[SOLD] Pristine IBM Model F-122 (too pricey, but pretty)
« on: Sat, 08 September 2018, 02:43:12 »
IBM Vintage 1985 Mechanical Clicky 122-Key Model F Terminal Keyboard 6110347























At a BIN of $499.99, few of us would consider actually buying this. (Indeed, the price might qualify it for the "Not-So-Great Finds" section.) But it sure is pretty, isn't it? I just wanted you to get a look at it. – A.

That price seems high to some of us, but not really outlandish considering what ancient IBM iron has been fetching lately.
Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”

Someone bought it!

It must be nice to be able to snap up an unused F-122 to put your greedy little fingers all over.  :?D
