Title: NIB '97 Model M - $74
Post by: nowsharing on Tue, 23 August 2011, 14:53:04

Not the worst deal in the world, but certainly not the best: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-NEW-IBM-Enhanced-Keyboard-101-Key-Clicky-PS-2-/260840778476 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-NEW-IBM-Enhanced-Keyboard-101-Key-Clicky-PS-2-/260840778476)
1997, UK Made, cute blue label

Shipping might kill it though. It shows $19.99 for me.

I think this is so new that were I to spend that I'd just go unicomp instead.

The only incentive for buying that would be to get an IBM logo rather than the repugnant unicomp one.
But yes, I think getting one from unicomp would be a better idea than pay that much for the one listed there.

If it was a 1986 model on the other hand... >:)  you'd get bolder/deeper labels and... possibly a hissy spacebar.
