Title: Model M with box, 80 shipped or best offer
Post by: berserkfan on Fri, 01 May 2015, 19:59:27

Nice deal. Too bad for me that I am no longer buying model Ms. This is by Lexmark and a later model, but that means the board is cleaner and has seen less use.

If it was by Lexmark, would it have a Lexmark badge?  My Lexmark SSK has a Lexmark badge.

Edit: Sorry, just seen the last pic in the listing.

It's in a box, but it's not NIB, if that's what you were thinking... The description sez:

. I've been using it with the adapter with my Mac for quite some time. Upgraded to a newer mechanical keyboard so looking to send this one to a good home.

So unf., $81 for a used 4th-gen. board... Not so great.

And missing the top half of Esc and `~ keycaps.

These are reasons to pull out when making an offer, not as if I would have taken this up at face value myself. Not as if this is such a rare board that you can't afford to risk the delay in making an offer.
