But its actually legit. Too bad in 7 days the price will start to skyrocket

You were right first time - putting unfinished auction prices in thread titles is always annoying.

I have seen them go fro around US$200. If you are patient you can get one cheaper. Sales from GH member to GH member are usualy cheaper.

Post by: catnipz0098 on Sun, 03 November 2013, 15:22:49: Wow.........$455 for a keyboard. But its mint. And old. How much did the company sell them for when they first came out a long time ago?
Title: Re: Model M SSK Going Cheap (For Now)

it was me. I put down a starting bid of $50 just for kicks.

This one has the wordperfect keycaps (and backspace) so I expect it to go for more

I don't think unicomp makes SSK feet, though they might still have some backstock.

Looks like you can get one made, even if the unicomp option is out. I don't use the small model M feet, but I guess some here might.

I won one the other week that I posted. Really happy with it and the seller was very good at communicating. I mentioned a small invent in the bottom of the space bar and he offered to buy a new one for me ; declined as I didn't really mind.
