Industrial M13's are very rare, don't know why he wouldn't put it to auction, they've been going double that easily lately (if not triple).

People are pretty cheap then, as it looks like he got two offers below his asking price already.

That is the flipping worst.  Big difference between missing it by days/hours/even minutes and missing it by seconds...

Yep. All my PayPal defaults were wrong too, had to switch the payment method and address which resulted in 3 or 4 refreshes, which take forever on PayPal's website for some reason. Pretty sure I would have had it if the defaults were right…

Interesting. That one was actually made by Unicomp.

I'm not sure if I've seen an industrial M13 that wasn't made by Unicomp.

The early ones with the black label were made by MaxiSwitch.  Much harder to find.

(Though that Aussie guy selling them a short while back had at least one of each).

I have seen maxi switch, lexmark, ibm and  unicomp

There were no IBM produced M13's, and no Lexmark Industrial M13's.

Oh, I only glanced at the label of one and saw the other had a similar label but you're correct, one is made in Mexico by Maxi Switch.

Interesting that it went for about $100 less, must be because it isn't made in America ;)
