Free shipping, can probably talk them down a bit.

Yeah, with a detached space bar and as dirty as it is, I'd definitely talk them down.

It's pretty amazing as these were going for $100 shipped a few months back.

I have been looking for one on the cheap for a while. I just barely missed my chance with Cindy late last year.

I have a pristine one and want to do a full-blown ANSI mod with Alt keys and Teensy, but I would love to do it on a beater instead of my good one.

I haven't seen them going for $100 shipped for quite a while, at least 6 months out.  Somewhere more around $125 of late.

I'll admit to not seeing the statement about the detached spacebar.  I'll also admit to cringing a bit when reading "I removed the spacebar to fix the beeping".

Yep, its definitely been a while.

All good!  This was still an interesting find, especially if someone is able to talk the seller down to $50 shipped or something like that.
