Title: Ibm m13 - $1, not!

Someone's trying to pawn this NOS IBM KB-8923 rubber dome off as an M13 clicky.  At least there's pictures which clearly show the model number.  Still though wonder if some uneducated buyer will be duped.

From the description..."Reduced footprint from M13 and without trackpoint. "....and without buckling spring, without clicky, without mechanical.....
Only a black IBM...

Sold for $141.  Somebody must really love rubber domes.

I'm surprised the seller thinks they can get away with that. I'd rip 'em a new one if I got a rubber dome board for that much. And it doesn't even have a useless screen in it!

I wanted to see how the bidding progressed, but it seems the seller made the listing private!

Trying to decide who's the bigger fool, seller or buyer.
