I see listings with no description all the time.  Of course, this guy also has the generic, only-mostly accurate description.  I've seen that one many times as well, however both together paint a pretty poor picture, for sure.

Are you kidding?

I have seen "old IBM keyboard" with no further discussion AND no picture.

When I asked a question, they said that it said "Model M" on the back, and posted the question to the listing. Obviously somebody else saw the question and answer, and topped my bid of $5-10 and won it at that price.

A photo of the front would have at least doubled the bid, and a photo of the back might well have tripled it.
