Title: Industrial Model M $175 OBO
Post by: nubbinator on Sun, 29 March 2015, 22:39:12

There's 4 watchers, so I'm assuming they're all waiting on offers to be approved or rejected.  Expensive for a grey case, but in line with prices I've seen.

I believe it will need a bolt mod.  It is still a pretty cool find.
I hope someone from here gets it.

So I offered $130 and they counter offered with $150. Considering shipping is free within the US and I will be shipping it to a proxy company which will charge me approx $70-$100. Total price will be about $250USD to get it to Australia.... I am happy with that and can cross this kind of board off my Model M wishlist.  :thumb:

Proxy companies charge that much?  :eek: I'm lucky I have friends in the US  ;)

I thought that industrial Ms sold for well over $200 + shipping.
