Wow, wonder were the seller got them from as they are all different years.
I see he has the halloween special Model M. I used to have a '89 Halloween M but I sold it.
I thought they were BIN but that would be to good to be true.

+ US $51.97 postage to Australia :(
For one!

The 29 July 1986 one looks good.
Shipping is $34 from North Carolina to Virginia? I could drive there for less.
Check out what he replaced the ALT keys with on #15:

Wow that's the same price to ship to me in Canada!
And you can never have enough of those kind of alt keys! More backslash for all!
-
wow $34 shipping, that sucks.

someone should PM him and see if they can get a bulk price, then just sell on here =/

After thinking for awhile, kind of want to get the Halloween one. Send it to the family in the states for cheap shipping.
If I bought caps from pckeyboard, would they fit on any of these boards? Was thinking of getting a full blank black set, and then a bunch of blank oranges, a real Halloween board.

The unicomp keys should be 100% compatible. I know mine worked on my 1990 model M, before I gave it away.
I'll contact the seller about buying them all (Or at least negotiating for cheaper shipping). Maybe I'll drive down and pick them up in person.

Edit: Nevermind, I'm not making an account on ebay.ca for this.

People are willing to pay more for Halloween ones oddly enough. My excellent condition Halloween '89 sold for about $80~90, if that's anything to go by.

Here is a link to them on .com

I don't even know. I just like Halloween and think it would be cool to have a board like that. With black/orange caps

I meant buy a black keyset from pckeyboard and then buy orange caps from them. Also contemplating a paint job on the case itself black/orange.
