If I had the $200 to buy it now, I would. It looks like it'll need a good cleaning, judging by the left shift key's bottom.

Apparently someone did have the $200.

****...I wish I saw this earlier. I would have been all over it :(

Err...nevermind. I assumed shipping was included. I only have one board (gave my brown to my brother) and I bought enough double shots for three...

Wow, it sold at that price without a word in the description to indicate it was even functional?

Those things are a  waste of  money. Spend your $200 on  something better.

ms windows! You're back!

You didn't post much for a few weeks right? Sure was dull here.

Fire up those optiplexes and CRTs and brighten this place up :biggrin:

Mini madness knows no bounds.  Now used ones go for 200 without even so much as a description?

I'm happy with my two models M Mini...I bought them when it was cheap.
Perhaps it's time to sell one of them.

Very good time to sell. Or gamble and wait more.

I'd rather pay LESS for a regular Model M and get MORE, than pay more for less...

Or better yet, get one for free...
