Completely off-topic, but why would a seller refuse to ship to a Post Office box?

If he is committed to UPS....they don't ship to PO Boxes

Nevermind...listing says USPS.

They've lowered it to $49.95. Seems like a great chance for someone to have a Model F!

For what these usually go for on ebay, seems like a great price.

I always thought that the "going rate" had pretty well peaked when it hit $40 a couple of years ago, given all the difficulties of using these.

Personally I wouldn't want to pay over 40 shipped for one but apparently lots of people are willing to pay much more as of late.  I wish I would have bought a few back when they were 10 to 20 dollars
