Title: IBM Displaywriter starting at $150 + shipping
Post by: nubbinator on Wed, 11 March 2015, 20:57:02

Keep in mind that someone has been releasing these at $190-200 + shipping (~$250 total) (http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-Displaywriter-Keyboard-Clicky-Display-Writer/221688090065?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D28772%26meid%3D6c38cc4769d542759cb2c0dda91abee3%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D9%26sd%3D221670584358) when you bid.  No sense in driving this up higher than recent prices.

This seller’s photo is just a crop from the other seller’s. Not sure what the deal is, but seems kinda shifty.

One can always hope that people won't be retarded...even if continuously proved wrong.

I asked the seller about why the photo is just a crop of the other auction’s photo. Response: "Stock photo, not actual part..........."
