Post by: paul.brett on Sun, 08 April 2012, 06:14:49

My first post, and I hope I haven't broken any rules by advertising my own auction:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190663076745 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190663076745)

As you can see, the sale includes an IBM Model F PC AT keyboard, which might interest some of you guys.

(UK layout).

Thank-you.

Paul.

Awesome! Great gear and cheap shipping as well!

If I was in Merry Olde I would certainly consider it.

I was considering it, the first bid was mine. I hate it when things you have been keeping an eye on turns up here. :(

Crazy price for a non working machine.  He does say the PSU is dead, but if it turns out to be a motherboard fault, this is one expensive paperweight.

You never know.

I have posted listings here as a "public service" but then if I put the spotlight on something, it hurts the stealth buyer who already saw it.

I will strive to reveal mostly "Buy-It-Now" listings in the future.

After my ISP chastised me for exceeding my bandwidth allowance (for hosting the auction pictures) and further to advice from forum members, I have ended the auction.

I have re-listed the keyboard as a new auction, which will start in just over 24 hours, and finish at roughly the same time as the previous auction.  Ebay item number is now 190664918638.  Postage is more reasonable, and I have added International options.  Thanks for all the advice guys.

And for that, I sincerely apologise.  After being told (by multiple people) that the keyboard is what everybody really wants, I acquiesced.

Nah, it's fine. I guess it will go for a good price. The last board at board I bid on went for 70gbp plus shipping. And that only had to members that knew about it.
