Title: IBM Model F XT on ebay
Post by: fohat.digs on Thu, 13 November 2014, 09:22:49
as these things go these days, this is a pretty good price.

90% chance somebody plugged it into an AT-to-PS/2 adapter and it didn't boot up.

Oh, yeah! A year ago I had trouble selling 2 clean tested ones in the $35-40 + shipping price range.

Today they regularly sell at $80+ to over $100
