Up to $100 already (even though some keycaps are missing). International shipping is a whopping $473, so US buyers only I think!

That shipping price made me jump.

If you look at the shipping, you'll see that the "Priority mail international" is much cheaper. $473.58 vs $71.65 for me.
SO I suppose this means international people might want it. I wouldn't at that price.

Free shipping in America.
One thing though, I don't think that's an F. I could be wrong, but from the looks of the (very dessicated) label, I think it's just a terminal M, which isn't exactly rare. On the other hand, it has the F shaped ALT/CTRL/Reset keys, so who knows? Didn't F's from ~July of '86 still have the old style label, like this?

I have looked at several of these. I would love to buy another 122-key terminal if it was an F. Those moveable barrels are just wonderful for customising.
I would buy an 122-M just for the case (I have a couple of cracked F cases, the plastic is much more brittle) if it interchanged with the F case. Looking at the square silver label on the right, and the 2-height legs, it looks like the same beast, but the F has a black metal back plate. That paper M-style label is suspicious.
The board would have to be below $40 shipped for me to be even remotely interested, and it would have to have all the function keys. This one started at $106 and after no bids for a while they added "make offer"
