thanks to my lovely "friend" i am now short a number pad minus key, and i though ah well they are only one dollar off of clickykeyboards...HAHA nope minimum 8 dollar order and 20 dollars to post (thats more than the keyboard cost to post) absolute joke.
so basically has anyone got a numberpad minus key for a model m they would be willing to ship to uk cheaply?

Whoops...must have skipped an entire line...haha!
I'll keep looking for you!
Edit: Just found this (http://myworld.ebay.com/sellerallen/?_trksid=p4340.l2559) eBay user who claims to carry the "- minus" number pad key you're looking for in his listing for a Control key here (http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-model-M-clicky-keyboard-parts-control-key-cap-/290720223804?pt=US_Vintage_Computing_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43b046923c#ht_500wt_1156).

haha no worries, also i think i have found one over at deskthority :), however he isnt uk but its still only £3.50 including postage.
so will go with him unless a UK seller turns up here. Uk is just quicker/cheaper.
thanks for your help. crisis averted, also that US one will be a good fall back if this sale should for whatever reason fall through.
so only interested now if a UK seller turns up, if not then consider it thread closed. thanks again.
p.s no idea why i didnt look at unicomp, but i anticipate a similar postage issue.

think i have sorted wit with a guy from deskthority now, for £3.50 including postage, thanks for your help, and that US ebay seller will provide an excellent fall back, thanks again.
consider this thread closed UNLESS a UK seller turns up, as this will be cheaper, easy and faster.
