Kinda wish I hadn't bought that white M13 that's working it's way from Canada on the back of a turtle.  That's what I get for cheaping out on the shipping I guess, :sad:.  Looks in decent shape, and a good enough picture to be pretty sure of it.  Of course it's 1 of 5, can't be sure what the other 4 look like, :der:.

Yup, if your crystal ball is in the shop, there is no way to tell.  You might regret buying something, or not buying it, :frown:

Was just cleaning a recent used acquisition.  Popped the keys to soak in detergent then was faced with cleaning a layer of fuzz with bits of chips, staples and God knows what out with cue-tips and disinfectant.  It's enough to turn one off of buying used boards, at least for a while.  If I didn't know that crap was there I could probably live in blissful ignorance but I can't un-know it, so no choice but to clean it, :wacko:.  Can't have the whirlwind of my typing stirring up that crap, :becky:.

It was still 5 available when I checked first thing this morning, then dead, I missed everything in between.  It was a good price.

Not fair! Compare $9.99 shipping to US with $44 shipping worldwide. First of all, you guys have the advantage of a bigger market hence more used keyboards popping up. Second, you get incredibly good deals and don't have to sell a kidney to cover the postage. Again, not fair :P

Well me buying three wouldn't be too far fetched.  Luckily I resisted.

Mine came. A little bit of dirt, nothing too bad. Red/Green/Blue stickers on ctrl/alt/shift. Left ctrl is aftermarket replacement, unlabeled and double piece vs. single piece for all other keys. Wants a bolt mod, doesn't have nearly as much tactility as my '88 1391401 and is lower pitched. Is still usable and pleasant to type on though. Not a bad buy, but not a great one either.
