Well, at least back to "reasonable" prices for BINs.

ncbound10 still starts auctions at $80 though.

Huh.  I made em an offer of $135 couple months back, but no dice.  (Told 'em they weren't likely to get $200 without some better pics at least, too)  Guess they got tired of looking at it.  They drop the price after the competing auction listing topped out under $100?  

If anyone here grabbed it, what's the deal with the cover? Looks like the ones on the Focus boards.  

ncbounds aforementioned auction.

I'm still trying to figure out what they did with my inverted T arrows.

What in the world does that mean?

On a Model AT you have to turn on the numpad to get arrow keys.  Kinda inconvenient for Excel for example.  Trying to navigate and enter numbers at the same time.

OOOohhhh. THAT inverted T.   I thought you were talking about the seller specifically, like as in "quiver and bow" type arrows or something exotic I didn't comprehend. XD
