Notice I tried to make it seem a bit more appealing on ebay. ;D

To make it more appealing on ebay, you're supposed to make unverifiable claims like it was used by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David when writing Seinfeld season 3 episode 5.   Or that it was in a scene of Dances with Wolves.

Or that it was Jon Voight's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mom_%26_Pop_Store) Model M.

The dark-brown kind of ruins the colour scheme I think.

If the blue was pink instead, you could have had a neapolitan model M. With a cherry to boot.

Man, you make such a compelling case for your product. Maybe you need to change the title of this thread to "Shameful Self." ;)

Two reasons:

B) you're not french?

I am aware the keys are blue!

This is the plan:

The brown keys and the cherry ESC will go on my white model M with white keys.

The grey keys taken from the other model M along with the blue keys will go into my other model M that was re-cased into a black UNICOMP SMARTREX. (Black Case/Blue Keys) Sexyness!

Look forward for my build thread: Called: A TALE OF THREE MODEL M's
- My 10 year old Model M
- Sealcouch doo-doo board
- RUBBER DOME Smartrex (only using the black case)

- Sealcouch doo-doo board

This is too funny. It's too bad there will only ever be one Sealcouch doo-doo board. Otherwise, it'll be one of the famously named GH boards like the Ricercar SPOS.

Ah... never underestimate the long arm of the GeekHack.

Doo-doo is too strong of a word to use

This will be my dark chocolate board with a lil cherry on top
