These rivets would be a great memento for a former Model M user who has moved to Model F keyboards, or encased in clear resin they could make ideal charm trinkets.

There's still time to bid on his other auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/290936219753

Q: Just saw your item and I have been pleasantly surprised, I'm an avid IBM Model M collector, have at least 10 NIB different Model M's and 5-6 used ones that are bolt moded. Due to the nature of the bolt modding rivets have to be removed via chiseling and I can not say that is a natural way of rivets detaching from the metal plate. Looking at your item brings a joy and happiness knowing that the rivets had natural, safe and graceful detaching from the plate. Would you be interested in close the item earlier if I would offer $75 for the 6 rivets, and hoping you can treat me with free shipping even though I live in USA, thanks and have a blessed day :)
A: Hi, thanks for your interest. It's great to hear of your successes with the bolt modding, a procedure requiring great care and attention, truly a labour of love and a tribute to your enthusiasm. Well, unless you were doing it for commercial reasons. I regret that I cannot offer an early closing and sale on this auction to anyone, regardless of how much is offered. Ending auctions early for a sale deprives other eBay users of their opportunity to place bids and as such can be seen as exceptionally unfair. I won't comment myself other than to say it can be really annoying. If you would like to place a bid at any time during the auction duration, you are most welcome. I hope this response was helpful, if you have any further concerns or queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
I can offer double boxing as an option to the successful bidder if required, but please be aware that this may increase the postage cost.Double Boxing guys!!!! Can't let those bits of broken plastic get damaged!
