The guy has two of em for $14.95 with $28.95 ship. They aren't exactly a perfect board for double shots but they seem to be built around the same platform at the MX 11800s, so they are good in my book.
Does anyone know which switches these use, and are these of the advanced performance line?

Hahah, $30 shipping, come on now!!
And, remember, if the keyboard picture is BLURRY but the label is super-sharp, macro-focused, then the seller is likely trying to hide the bad shape the keyboard is in.
-
2 keyboards. Twice the weight.
I just shipped a keyboard for $9, so maybe I believe that.

These two Dell AT101Ws (http://cgi.ebay.com/LOT-2-DELL-MODEL-AT101W-CLICKY-PS-2-CONNECT-KEYBOARD-/200488038171?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item2eae04af1b) probably weigh as much or more but shipping less than 1/2 of that.

It's shipping from CANADA people.
Last time I looked that was a foreign country.
Oh. Missed that. My bad....
-
Shipping to me would cost $30!!! Damn.... now *that's* too much. I think this guy is milking off shipping or something, it can't be the same as states shipping.

Which country do you live in?

Right above you.

Many times, you could ask the seller nicely for another type of shipping. Recently, I received two identical items from the same seller in two separate packages because that was cheaper than sending both in one single package. (He thought of that himself -- I appreciated that a great deal!)
Perhaps this seller is only using UPS or something, because they have local pick-up and perhaps the Canadian postal service doesn't. I have often heard that excuse by US-ians for refusing to ship internationally with USPS.

The shipping CANNOT be the same for both the states and canada. He jacked the price right up to $30 regardless of where you live in north america. So what you've said is irrelevant.

Funny how I could swear you were arguing against me about shipping costs recently.
Deal with it. The seller is obviously overcharging or could be shipping UPS like previously suggested. In any event, there are cheaper options with approximately the same delivery time (I shipped a Model M to the GTA and it arrived in either one or two days, I forget, and it cost like 10 bucks to ship).
Blah blah blah shipping costs too much. Send them an email and ask if a cheaper option is available. If they say no, you know they're lying and you shouldn't bother with them (hey, sound familiar?)

I dont see what EIBM is complaining about anyway, he's not going to buy one anyway because it doesn't have an IBM logo.

I asked the seller two post some better pictures, he did and they didn't look too bad, so i got them, need double shots for my filco and they were at a better price than this new hpbus http://cgi.ebay.com/New-CHERRY-Keyboard-Credit-Card-Reader-G81-7910HPBUS-2-/190396145468?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c547e9f3c (http://cgi.ebay.com/New-CHERRY-Keyboard-Credit-Card-Reader-G81-7910HPBUS-2-/190396145468?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c547e9f3c)
Unless my eyes are deceiving me they don't look in too bad a shape, right?

Actually, the one thing that has to be IBM for me is the computer, the rest I don't care as much.

They're brand new...
-
New = good.
G81 = MY = bad
H = 2 shot = good

What exactly are MY boards, does that mean they are not mx compatible? Or am I just completely wrong
