That guy sure has no shortage of the things. I wonder if he had a deal with an IBM warehouse or something.

Yes, it's an RT101 and has space invader switches.  They're linear.

Well, technically that is possible considering how long they last I would think as few as 5 could do that for you.  3-4 if you smoke or 1-2 if you play WOW too much.  ;)

Sold for $124.95, only one bidder.  I haven't been following the sales of SpaceSavers for that long, but this is the first time I've seen only a single bidder.  Granted the starting price was set quite high, as ncbound10 normally does.  If I was getting a SpaceSaver though, I would have preferred the one last week that went for $118.75 over this one.

Prior to that, there was one used for five years that went for $169, and last month a used one went for $203.50.  From the limited sample, it seems the prices for used SpaceSavers is on a downward trend at the moment.  Maybe the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. is reducing the bidding activity on eBay, not only due to people being busy with other activities, but also spending their money on other items.

But the new one last week went for 300$

With the used ones, I think it was a supply thing.  There were plenty available.

Jameco was probably the last vendor to sell these new.  I bought three.  Of course, I didn't save any boxes, which means their value is immediately reduced by $50 each.
