and

Both at $50 bid + $10 S/H. Both from same seller and mis-labeled as 83key.

Not bad if they don't get bid up.

And they're all only a little over 100 miles away from me.

Hope these are actually Model F's cause I accidentally got both.

I'll gladly take the second one off your hands if you don't need it. :thumb:

I might consider doing the same depending on the condition and how much.  :thumb:

how did you end up paying exactly the same for each board? must have been luck...I was watching these auctions but after $60 it wouldn't be worth it for me for possible duds (I wouldn't have kept them).

I'll have to decide if I want them when I get them.

If they're duds I'll be pretty sad...more parts are always useful though I guess.

Sounds good.  :thumb:

I hope they both turn out to be in great shape. :cool: Might be a bit more of a tough choice for you  to keep them both or not, but it's definitely better than being ripped on parts boards.  :thumb:
