This seems like a nice price for a NIB 104-key M. If you could snipe and win it for around $50, it would be fantastic.

Love the baby blue logo.

Since you've not been around for a while, you probably didn't realize. These are a very regular auction on eBay. Sometimes the seller lists them for a one-day only auction, sometimes for a few days or longer. Sometimes no BIN, sometimes $75 BIN, sometimes $85. Seems the seller has quite a large supply. So if you get outbid, just wait around for the next auction and you might be successful. Seems the going rate is in the $60-$80 range.

Thanks for the info. Yes, I haven't been following the finds subforum very closely as of late.
Those seem like great prices. If I were going to buy one, I'd message the seller and ask for an outside of Ebay price.

I have to say, why not just buy a Unicomp? It's less expensive, and newer! I always think giving them business is a good thing, too, in terms of diversity in the market (the huge range of Cherry boards is a bit monotonous).
Of course, the Unicomp logo is pretty ugly. Hence the gratituous limited DOF in my display pic.

I can't disagree with supporting Unicomp! If you're going to buy just one keyboard that might be the way to go. I have both Unicomps & IBMs and they each have their merits.
