Is there a database of IBM boards and their average values?

Yep, it's called eBay.

Clickey Keyboards only tracks Ms, although Fs are far more interesting.

The comment on ebay is right-on, prices fluctuate constantly through a wide range.

Maybe people could post current prices here and make this thread the de facto ongoing database.

I would also suggest that anything over 30-60 days old is invalid.

I got an M-122 for $22 shipped about a month ago.

So here is what I'm think for a bunch of things (these prices exlude "good deals"; these are the price at which one can readily find the board):

Model M (detachable cable): $50-$60 (more for silver labels)
Model M (terminal cable): $30-$50 (depends on shape, caps, etc.)
Model M 122-Key: $30-$50 (depends on the condition)
Model M SSK: $280-$400 (depends on condition, market, bolt modded, etc.)
Model M15: $400-$850 (depends on condition, label type; $1000+ with a kepad)

Model F XT: $25-$60 (Price moves a lot with this one for some reason)
Model F AT: $100-$140 (depends on condition)
Model F Terminal Style: $50-60
Model F 122-Key: $180-$200
Model F Kishsaver: $130-$170 (I suspect that this will go up to about 3-400 eventually)
Model F 50-Key: $130+ (not a big market)

Beamspring: $100-$200 (Kinda what I'm willing to pay so that's going to set the market price :P; could be more)

Thats just what I've been seeing, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I should put some unicorn vomit keys on my ssk, remove the sticker on the back and sell them...

But that IBM logo on the right looks interesting...
