Note, this is from https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=67145.0

Personally, given that it’s in pretty rough condition with yellowed and chipped case, some missing keycaps, lots of food or something smeared around, and not known to be working, I’m not sure it’s the best deal even at $30; there are definitely other white space invader boards in better condition to be had for a similar price for someone willing to hunt around on ebay.

I've bought almost mint NMB Hi-Tek boards for less, including linear whites.  This is incredibly overpriced, especially since, as jacobolus noted, it's untested and it's missing caps.
