:mod: :mod:
Here is a seller who won't get much for their old Ms:
"VINTAGE IBM CLICKY KEYBOARD" #1:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=260420177486
A somewhat scarry looking '92 1391401
Currently at $0.98 + really cheap shipping

and...
"VINTAGE IBM CLICKY KEYBOARD" #2
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=260420180035
A rather clean looking '96 Lexmark 71G4646
Also currently at $0.99 + really cheap shipping

I'm posting these because they're exactly the kind of Model Ms that go really cheap: poorly labeled, bad pictures, wrong category...The seller combines shipping, so take advantage of these if you are looking for two clean'er-uppers. I'm not bidding, so let the sniping commence.

The '96 for $0.98; either you guys are off your game or the geekhack basements are finally full.

From the part number the '96 was rubber dome, unless Google steered me wrong.

Ah, that explains it. Sorry, everyone, for suggesting that, I would have felt horrible if someone got it expecting buckling springs. Good detective work bopdiddy, I need to do better homework before making suggestions.
