IBM Keyboard Model Number 1397599 Lexmark USA (https://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-Keyboard-Model-Number-1397599-Lexmark-USA/283202377428)

BIN $45.00 or Make Offer, plus shipping
The 1397599 variant adds stabilizers on the number pad's + and Enter keys.
Assuming the seller will take somewhat less than the BIN price, it's a nice deal on a lesser-seen M ready to be restored.

I can't believe no one's bought this yet... How cheap does a Model M in good shape need to be? :?O

It's a fair price for a Model M. Also less exposure since they did not use the term "IBM Model M" in the title and it is not part #1391401 which is the most well known. I suspect this to be the same reason Lexmark branded models consistently sell for less than the IBM branded boards. Simply a rose by another name. A rose is a rose is a rose. A Model M by any other name types just as sweetly.

There are other model numbers to be had. BTW Ander, I did answer your question. Here's a visual aid too.

Well, dude, not to be picky, but they did refer to it as an "IBM Model M":

And it is an IBM-branded board. "Branded" refers to the logo on the front, not who actually made the keeb. I suspect you meant "non-IBM-made".

Great, Snow... To avoid confusion, though, I think all that pertains to this thread (http://to this thread), not the present one, right?

@Ander
I don't see that term in the screenshot you posted, unless it is in the description.

Of course, but I had to get your attention somehow.

For what it's worth, I always read GF threads that have new messages. So if you'd posted that in the thread it pertained to (which I mentioned when I solicited input about it in the Keyboards section), I would've definitely seen it there, if that's what you mean.
I don't regularly check the Keyboard section for new posts; it's too big and I haven't time—that's why I asked peeps to post in the GF thread, see. Hope I've cleared all this up now. If not, let me know. I love to type, as do we all. :?)

Sorry, you don't see what? The IBM branding (logo) seems conspicuous enough, as do the words "IBM Model M" in the listing title... Were you referring to something besides those?

I think the edit is right. Anyway, you did post and you got misinformed by another user. I just had to correct it.
It kinda brings me into thinking about this board:
