Link (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-IBM-INDUSTRIAL-Grey-Model-M13-Keyboard-NIB-M-clicky-/320622940748?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item4aa69dd24c)
Starting bid is 175$

That's my auction. I'm just testing the water.
I always put high res pictures in my auctions, but I'm 5000 miles away from the keyboard and had to use pictures from the person that I bought from.
It probably won't sell, but I am offering shipping to Japan ;)
-
put $200 on it without any hope
hate myself spending all my coins on Christmas gift
-

Looks like it will, even if nobody outbids Laggy. Any idea of the history of what past comparable keyboards have sold for?
-
I think it's sexy. Hope you get a fair price for it.
-
For that sort of money, I'd be wanting one of the Maxiswitch ones, with a real IBM trackpoint and a silver-on-black IBM label.

It turns out I can get some used M13s at $40 from taobao
anyway, which color is better? white or black
or depend on the date?

This is the first M13 in industrial grey I have seen on ebay. How often to industrial grey M13s show up on ebay? This is the first I have seen, but I have only been looking for about 6 months. If you don't mind answering, nowsharingm how much did you buy it for?
-
$50! It was the deal of the century. I shared the deal here (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=9159) and Ripster and Webwit picked a few up too.
-
Wow, that was the deal of the century indeed!

I used to see a few that went for $40 to $50.

Best ones are the ones made by Maxiswitch or Lexmark - both of whom made White, Black and Industrial models. Unicomp made some industrial IBM ones (and white ones under their own brand) which used a lesser pointing stick.

Considering that I paid $20 on ebay to ship a full ATX tower computer halfway across the nation, does it really cost $15 in postage to send this keyboard?
-
I approximated the shipping, so it might be high or low. I plan on packing the hell out of it, so I imagine that it will be $15 give or take.
BTW I bought a full tower case and they shipped it for free!

It might cost more. Model m's are heavy. It's not about size. It's about the weight

This went for $202.50 to a Geekhacker in Beijing. Somehow it was delivered in 6 days. Who knew that you could get delivery confirmation through USPS to China?
-
$58 from USA to China w/delivery confirmation. I was home for Christmas. I sent it as a gift with a value of $15, so it wasn't held up at customs apparently. I wouldn't normally have shipped there, but the buyer claimed to be a Geekhacker.
I'm now comfortable opening up Ebay sales to China & Japan. They're the big buyers apparently, and shipping has been no problem for the few that I've attempted. An MP3 player that I sent to Texas took the same amount of time as the M13 to China. I still won't ship to Europeans though. They're all a bunch of old-world scammers in my book ;)
-
Never thought about claiming to be a geekhacker so the seller open shipping to OZ.
but around $60 postage is too expensive to purchase any items unless valued over $200
