Title: [eBay] Clean IBM model F starting price 9.99$
Post by: HoboBob on Fri, 15 April 2011, 13:56:44: Like title says, looks like a nice and clean IBM model F. Low amount of dust and smudge.

Starting at 9.99$ no BO tho. Worth keeping track of it for you guys since it's shipped to the US only.

My guess is that the absence of many sales recently has increased the demand once this auction came up. Though perhaps ATs are coming back into vogue.

Nah, I bid on this. But probably the other guy was shill bidding, that's why he hasn't gone over my max yet.

Why put such a high max bid in to start with? Surely you are just asking to pay for it. If shill bidders don't increase the price someone else will...
