Worth it for the caps.

The photo shows an M0115 with a serial number of 358K which means that it is almost sure to have orange Alps.

I can't really read the serial number. How can you tell it's an M0115?

Sweet... Too bad he doesn't ship here...

AEK is M0115 and the Apple logo is at the bottom left.
AEK2 is M3501 and the logo is upper left. AEK2 also has that weird lift bar instead of legs.
If you blow up the photo you can just barely make out some of the numbers.

Can this guy be spamming?
He had 100% feedback and a name like 'hugclo.3d3zk1'. Today another has popped up with the same auction with another weird name ' teschar.e54dyc'

Whats up?

A few months ago, I saw 3 eBay listings with the same exact picture and messaged him about it. He said that he is pretty old (in his 70s) and going through chemo so is shortcutting his listings (uses 3 different eBay ids) by using the same picture. He actually had 3 listings separately for M0116s (all with the same picture), along with 3 listings for M0115s. He says that he has been selling vintage apple keyboards for many years. I think he's legit, but sloppy with his photo listings. Not sure though. I never ended up pulling the trigger on the keyboards, as they were in rough shape. As the prices are pretty low, I suggest messaging him about the specifics of the keyboard you are looking at - model number, year built etc, but be careful.
