"3 SMALL blemish/imprints on the bottom right side of the left piece"

Is this the same one that just sold?

I admire the color-coordination of animal and peripheral.

Why not include the cat in the sale?

Well, someone's bid $.99 already, that should be a steal!

I think the cat gave you good luck, you should put your cat in all your eBay pictures.

If you were really trolling you'd have set a reserve on the keyboard.

Good luck???  If the current bid level ($404) holds, it'll be a few hundred dollars lost.  It's got quite a ways to go before it'll be good luck.

P.S. Kill Will, don't take that comment the wrong way.  I wish you the best of luck in your sale in getting a good price.

Looks like someone just got a good deal, assuming there's nothing major wrong with the board.  That's the lowest an M15 has gone for in quite a while, isn't it?

Surely not! Isn't that a $300 loss for the seller? I wasn't going to bid on it because I figured it had to go for more than he paid, and that was just a little bit more than I wanted to pay presently... damn. I should have put in a bid. Shoulda shoulda shoulda.

I sorta wish I put in a bid myself, but would have preferred to pay around $300.  I doubt I'd ever use it though, just wouldn't mind having one on hand for reference.  That was probably the only chance I had to get one for under $500, so I guess I'll just have to do without.

Hmm... an M15 would be good for gaming. And by that, I mean the arrow keys on the left portion.

My left hand would be able to use the arrow keys without moving very far.

But spending over $200 on a keyboard doesn't seem justified in my eyes.

You could probably produce a pallet of rubber-dome boards for
the same as what one of these cost to produce ..

And I for one would much rather have that single switch over a whole pallet of rubber dome boards.
