Title: Industrial Model M
Post by: AKIMbO on Tue, 24 July 2012, 17:03:33

I found this industrial model m (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-IBM-Model-M-clicky-keyboard-NEW-BOX-1390655-12-09-1987-Works-/251112234809?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D842188408228852754%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26#ht_500wt_1413) today on ebay.  Only 1 day left in the auction and it's currently at $66.  The seller is shipping from my zipcode too (wonder how close they are to my house).  I would be bidding on this if I wasn't so freaking poor due to a transmission repair for my car.

09 Dec 1987 New with box.

That's easily worth way more than the $66 it's at now.

Since I don't own a car, I may bid until it reaches absurd prices.

Yeah...I can't see this going for anywhere near what it sits at now...

Cheers,

Sold for 174.50. I was going to bid on this until the price went above $150. It was in good shape but no case badge :(

I found several pictures of 1390655 on the internet.  None of them have a logo insignia on top.
