It is used. Seems high for a used one, but this is the only one available on ebay now.
For some reason this keyboard doesn't show up when I search for "ibm space saver". I only know about this litsing from a mail ebay sent to me to notify me that a similar item I bidded before is now available.
Maybe this item has not been indexed correctly by ebay? Also, note the BIN price. I think it is auto-suggested to the seller by ebay based on the last similar item's auction price.

I figured it out. I did bid on this keyboard from the same seller. Either the original auction winner backed out (likely), or the original seller has a second copy (not as likely), and is now offering it to me at the bid price as I was the second highest bidder. That's why it is not searchable. Maybe it shows up as a dead link for you.

Looks to me like I could buy it now. But I don't want to.

If no one buys it, he will probably relist it at a lower price in a day or two. This one is ending tomorrow morning.

I don't think so. I tried to click on the Buy It Now button just to test out that theory (knowing you still have to confirm it after that) and it says I need to be pre-approved. In other words, I think the seller is only making this item available to Lister for his highest bid price. If he doesn't buy it, then it'll probably either get relisted, or perhaps made available to the third highest bidder.
