Assuming you like the ISO layout and it comes fully functional with a converter, Id say ~$50 is a reasonable price. Anything over that, I don't think it would be that great of a deal.
That price is good if you like ISO-style (I love the "Return" instead of "Enter").
I gauge prices against the cost of a new Unicomp. Complete keys, unusual legends ghetto converter box, I say it's good.
I sell most UK model Ms I find that are in good condition for £40. They go quickly.

Also consider that this is a terminal keyboard (right?), but includes the converter.
So normally it would go for slightly less than a conventional Model M, but add extra cost for the converter
Pretty much, shipping a Model M inside the UK is £13.No.I sell most UK model Ms I find that are in good condition for £40. They go quickly.

so about £50 with shipping
My Model M arrived last Thursday with a free adapter too but I dont use it anymore because it causes random chattering. But if plugged on PS2 port, no issue at all.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/iUQAoJG.jpg)

A terminal requires more than an "adapter"

What you received with the keyboard, one of Orihalcon's cables with built-in chip, or a "Soarer's Converter" that you build yourself.
Go all-in and build one of these!

Aw, ISO and you're missing a keycap cover :(
$70 USD seems like a steep price imo
If I were to order that board from ebay using my paypal account and the price was £50, my final cost excluding shipping, customs, etc. would be ~$70.Aw, ISO and you're missing a keycap cover :(
$70 USD seems like a steep price imo
£50 not $70 dont do currency converter s tech dosnt convert propperly like a gtx 970 is $270 in the us and £265 in the uk so ye where it should be like £160 ish but they dont convert it like that so ur looking at $55 in the us be the equivelent price
but ye its missing the key caps to make it a working us layout board but im in uk and used uk layout all my life so it dont bother me (i will change it to us and replace the missing keys if i was to sell it on tho)

Oh! That is the reason why I am having problems when using the adapter.
I will give it a try later but this time I will plug it on USB2.0.
Model Ms do not have NKRO but I am not a rollover expert.Indeed, it's got 2KRO. All membrane keyboards without a PCB technically have 2KRO.

2KRO doesn't mean combinations of more than 2 keys aren't possible. It just means they're not guaranteed; i.e. 2 is the lowest amount of keys you can be certain to press at any given time ;) .Model Ms do not have NKRO but I am not a rollover expert.Indeed, it's got 2KRO.

ye its 2KRO but the common used combos like ctrl alt delete ect :)

Aren't Control, Alt, and Shift generally exempted from the RO limit?Matrices are usually laid out in such a way that modifier keys don't suffer from the rollover limit in practice, yes. They work by the same physical principles that drive the rollover limit though.

The OP showed a terminal Model M that requires a converter because it does not have native PS/2 protocol.
A standard M has PS/2 (or AT that can be "adapted" to PS/2) and does not need anything else. Some people have reported problems with cheap PS/2-to-USB adapters but they have always worked for me.

My experience is that USB 3.0 is often flaky with older gear.
a cable from another Model M with a detachable cable and then use it in place of the SDL to RJ-45 cable on a terminal M?
