When I see listings like that, I am very tempted to send a message to the effect of "Are you taking the piss?"...

The keycaps are horribly worn out as well.

I wonder if the seller meant $29.95.  Even then...

I was thinking of sending him a message telling him that the decimal point was in the wrong place, but decided against it in the end.

If it was a bidding auction, it would be awesome to set up a load of fake accounts and push the price up to a million dollars or something...

I felt in a mood to troll, so I did it for you. I'll let you know what he says.

Dear muchadoaboutnothing,

Sorry, it is $29.95.

Well, that was boring.

EDIT: Price has now been corrected on eBay.

Thanks, for fixing that. I guess it takes a GeekHack member to keep Ebay on the right path.

$29.99 is still way over priced.

I got a brand new beige AT101W for 10 bucks, tax in. It's worth more than any 30 dollar keyboard I have seen in the stores these days, but I probably wouldn't have paid 30 for it.

It's fairly rare compared to the beige versions.  If it's beat up then that's too much but if it's a really clean board, $30 isn't bad.  Maybe a few bucks over recent sales but not ridiculously out of line.

The keys are pad printed as opposed to lasered. Think the black M13, except possibly worse.
