Title: 1 cent IBM XT keyboard in BOX
Post by: 486 on Mon, 23 April 2012, 22:10:11

Found this and when I found the postage was like $75, I couldn't afford it. Someone who is desperate for a XT keyboard may want this.

I'm surprised that it's still at a penny, even with two days to go. I imagine it'll go up, but it's a pretty good find, indeed. Shipping is only $25.

Thanks for posting, perhaps I'll bid.

looks nice even though used, just needs a nice warm bath and will be like brand new.

Yeah, I asked that guy how much postage was for one of those and he said about $80. I hate how all the good vintage keyboards are in the US.
