IBM Model F-AT + four Model M 1390131's: $400 BIN, OBO

Make of this what you will:

5 VINTAGE IBM TYPE M KEYBOARDS ☆make me a offer ☆

BIN: $400 + shipping





That's definitely a Model F-AT at the top... The other four appear to be p/n 1390131 (first-generation) Model M's.

The seller says "Make me an offer", but there's no "Make an Offer" button, so I guess they expect you to to message them. (They've been on eBay nearly a year, have 34 sales and 100% approval, so they seem on the level... Maybe they just didn't know how to activate the MaO feature.)

Considering ATs go for $150–250 these days, and that '131s are as solid as M's get, this could be a very good deal.

I'm probably not the only one here who'd consider the CLASSIFIED TRANSMISSION PROHIBITED sticker a bonus, too.

If he didn't know already, he will soon find out that the AT was worth more than all the Ms together.
"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.”"
