Title: Industrial Model M

One of these just went for $110 a couple weeks ago, did anyone here bid on this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/120833615080?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_2545wt_1392

That would be a great *found*.  :-)

I was watching it.  I don't think the last one that went for $110 has a square label.

That one didn't have a square label, you're right. It was a lot cleaner than this one, though.

Hehe, I bought that one.  It is made in the UK.  I would rather have a square label one though.  I am thinking about selling mine, since I bought a different one.

Why is a square label more expensive?

Maybe because they are less common?

I'd say because it's older, too. I think the connector between the PCB and the LED's is a lot nicer on those.

The prevalent idea on model M's seems to be that older is better :p

Square label. Sexy. It eat's Ripster's round label mini for breakfast.
