Post by: ander on Sat, 31 October 2015, 02:09:25: ONE NEW NOS IBM NO 6110345 MODEL F COMPUTER KEYBOARD !!! 2 AVAILABLE !!! H804 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ONE-NEW-NOS-IBM-NO-6110345-MODEL-F-COMPUTER-KEYBOARD-2-AVAILABLE-H804-/381453645084) (eBay)

Not much to say... "New old stock" Model F-122s at quite a reasonable price, I'd say.

Post by: rowdy on Sat, 31 October 2015, 23:50:41: Is anyone on GH actually bidding on these?

Postage kinda kills these for me, in some cases it nearly doubles the price, not to mention the currency conversion.

Bad luck bro, with the AUD doing as it is right now. I would jump on another one as well if it wasn't for the dollar.

Post by: Xonar on Sun, 01 November 2015, 21:24:55: Ah, can never pass up new Model F's... had to get one of these even though a used one from Cindy would probably be half the price. Thanks for the tip, Ander.

Oh, you're right, I didn't notice the missing caps. These look like "old used stock in Saran Wrap".

The keyboard, perhaps, but postage will probably be more than the cost of the keyboard :(

That was before it was converted to ANSI 121...

:confused:

This thread is two (2) years old.

It also contains the link in the OP that you can easily click to ascertain for yourself that they have been sold. More than two (2) years ago.

Or have I missed something?

It seems they didn't have any trouble selling them ... two years ago :))

Post by: ander on Wed, 20 December 2017, 23:27:25: Indeed. Fortunately, we've now well established that this was all a thing of the past. It's finished, kaput, defunct, over and done with, wrapped up, water under the bridge, finito.

Post by: ander on Fri, 22 December 2017, 03:58:05: Ah, I never marked this "[SOLD]", did I? So this could all be considered my fault. That's okay, I'm married—I'm used to being responsible for everything.

Considering ZX Spectrum didn't even click the link, which would have immediately revealed that both had been sold (years ago), I don't think marking it as "[SOLD]" would have helped. Not even sure how someone would find such an old "great finds" post.
