Holy grail, thy name is M15!  Unfortunately, this will hit about $400, and I won't be able to afford it.  Oh well.  Good luck, I expect you will hit a big payday.  If you don't mind, may I ask why you are selling it? :)

:eek:

Doesn't hurt to set up a snipe for it, though. (I'm not interested, because I know it'll go high, too, but the fact that it's in Australia and shipping prices aren't posted might deter bidders. I'm guessing shipping to the US will probably be in the USD$40-50 range?)

Oh, I am going to keep tabs on it.  Who knows, there might not be a lot of interest, and I could pick it up for less than usual, but I highly doubt it.  Like you said, bhtooefr, shipping to the US will be a lot on its own.

Wow.  This is already up to $182.00 AU.  I'm not too sure how much this is in US $, but I am sure it's up there.

182 Australian dollars = 119.9744 U.S. dollars

Alternately, take the .au out of the URL.

Current bid: AU $182.50 (approximately US $118.77)

That's only $383.20, which is on the lower end of the M15 price scale... then again, it does have a cracked knob, so...

A cracked knob sounds painful. :(

Buckling springs like the regular IBM Model M's but this was an ergo board that is rare and hard to find.

I think it's more similar to the Model M2 in construction. At least they managed to avoid using the controller from hell...

Are the M15 boards going to end like the M13s with a sudden surge of supply? And then of course decline and become expensive once again.
