Don't drop from your desktop or it will go down, boing back up and crack you in the skull.

I don't know why, but that reminds me of something that would have happened in the film Sleeper.


This is the same model that I bought NIB for $9 a few weeks ago, in a horribly titled auction albeit. So it isn't the deal of the century by any means.

Would you be so kind and post the link to that auction?

There are incredible deals on ebay, you simply have to seek out stupid and/or lazy sellers. Craigslist too, but it requires more work.

This has reverted to a standard auction after someone placed a bid, no more BIN. I would venture a guess that this is a good thing for the seller.

I noticed in the pictures that the cord looks used...whatever that means to you.

Heh, the world economy may be in the ****ter, but it's a great time to collect old keyboards! People are looking for anything they can sell, and so many companies have entire warehouses full of "junk" they haven't touched in decades :)
