[US] Used IBM M Variants
« on: Tue, 15 September 2009, 05:04:56 »
These three listings seem like they have the potential be good deals... if you're in the market for a keyboard that requires some work.

IBM Model M 1390120 - According to the seller, it has an 'F9' key cap in place of 'F4' and has only been lightly tested. - Current bid $0.01 USD

IBM Model M 5-2 - Missing the down arrow key cap, "Guaranteed not to be DOA." - Buy it Now price $29.95 USD

IBM Model M 1391472 (Space Saving) - This one appears as though it just requires a thorough cleaning. - Buy it Now price $59.95 USD

As always, use caution while on eBay.

Oooh... I almost bought the Space Saver. I then realized I would never use it, so I thought better of it.

Since when has "will I ever use it" ever stopped a true Geekhacker?
 
Look at the ferrite on that SpaceSaver cable. Where did that come from??

I haven't used a BS 'board in ages.  It would be wrong to buy this 'board knowing full well that there are starving GeekHackers that need this.  I would buy it, stick it on a shelf, and never look at it again.

I'd really love to get this but the shipping to Germany is almost as much as the keyboard itself.

Any suggestions how to save on international shipping?

Should I get it anyway?
