Vintage IBM Model M Keyboard 1390120 1986 Silver Square Label











Unfortunately, it's in Taiwan—so shipping to the U.S. would be $101.  :?|

If you happen to be in or near Taiwan, though, great deal! (I realize some of you will feel I could've gotten by without posting this.)

That is in nice shape for a used board.

Doesn't even show up on eBay Australia, so US$101 shipping for me too, which would be about AUD$130.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Guess you'd want to do local pickup then.

Aw, so nobody went to Taiwan to get it. Where's your sense of adventure? Considering you would've saved $100 on shipping the keeb, that would've been like getting $100 off your air ticket. But no.
