Says it's lightly used. Seems to have some stuff with it.

Looks like a nice one.

A year ago those were easily selling over $200 - sometimes

another one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-PC-AT-84-key-Model-F-keyboard-/251259348931

The tiny backspace bothers me more than the fat enter.

Both of those problems are easily remedied.

1/2 hour left and it's up to $150.   Think it's heading north of $200.

Nope, $168.   eBay is weird.

Ebay is not weird. A couple of years ago I was hot to get one of these, and a couple of other people were, too, obviously. For most of the summer it was totally dry, then by late summer a few turned up. We bid them all up well over $100, and after about 3 were sold, the price dropped down to about half.

Supply and demand - as always.

Obviously, demand is slumping now.
