Title: [eBay] IBM Model M-15 (NIB) LET THE GAMES BEGIN
Post by: SurgeonKyle on Tue, 13 November 2012, 22:06:20
Alright gentlemen, I don't have nearly the amount of money or interest in the M-15 (let alone a NIB one) but someone out there does, so far it started at 99 cents but good luck getting it for anything around there.

Here we go http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-model-M15-13H6689-split-ergonomic-adjustable-clicky-keyboard-NEW-/130802695984?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item1e7472bf30 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-model-M15-13H6689-split-ergonomic-adjustable-clicky-keyboard-NEW-/130802695984?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item1e7472bf30)

It's nice to see this isn't just another buy it now with an obscenely high starting point. I still can't afford it, but it's fun watching the bidding.

Nah... lol. But They have went for that much in the past. So anyone here thinking of jumping in the game better be ready to put up at least that much.

I would personally buy it for $700, but now that I see MMB post, I have no hopes :(

Not really. You said you'd put up $1500. I thought they usually went for $700-$800 so I said I would personally buy it for $700. But then I saw your second post saying that usually go for $1500, which I didn't know.

Lot's of things you can do with $1500. One of them doesn't include spending it on a keyboard, to me :P

How much would a not-NIB M15 go for? I thought it was around $700

I dont think it is good time to sell it on ebay at the moment,
probably at 2011, it may go higher than $1600,
this year, I would say around $1300

This keyboard is genius, except that staggered keys render the split aspect POINTLESS.

(A reality-check from your friendly neighborhood Burzy-Burz and a few shots of vodka...)

If you can make a time machine, you sir have a winning Kickstarter project!  Consider me your first backer.

Breaking even makes it a winning kickstarter project?

i guarantee you could pull in at least 100k by claiming you would be investing research in the flux capacitor, as long as you made the page absurd enough

also, i just screwed myself out of 100k
