I really need to set myself up a yahoo auction account....

Yep, me too. I saw this a day before this got posted. Although, in this case, I don't think it's people from GH bidding high. I could be wrong though.

What I hate more is yahoo's extension rule.

There are plenty of collectors in Japan you know. They're much more likely to have seen it.

Post by: ramnes on Sun, 08 March 2015, 09:10:51: Yeah, but my guess is that a japanese guy will not go as high on a Yahoo bid since he might find this in an other way for cheaper. I think Yahoo is pretty open to us (non-japanese people), and that make prices go higher.

Edit: and yeah, Yahoo extension rule is terrible!

Post by: orihalcon on Sun, 08 March 2015, 18:33:52: Hmm, any idea if it is buckling spring? Couldn't really find any references to it online. Not sure if there were buckling spring boards made in Japan. Only ever seen USA and UK ones.

Post by: JimByr on Sun, 08 March 2015, 18:49:07: It's the keypad for the IBM 5576-003. Brother-made buckling springs... probably manufactured to IBM's design.
