Ha, I was just about to post about this.

And it just sold as I clicked "Save". (You may want to add [SOLD] to your topic title, so people don't waste their time looking.)

Hey, this is like a little party. I'll put out some pretzels.

In case anyone's too disappointed, here's another nice-looking one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-1391401-Model-M-Vintage-Clicky-Keyboard-/232228138353) for $69.99 shipped, without the engraving and with no missing caps. If you really want a classic Model M, life's too short to agonize over an extra $30 IMHO.  :?)

Yeah that one looks pretty nice.  I tend to only post vanilla Ms when they are less than $50 or so, but there's nothing wrong with paying a bit more...  or a lot more! 

Regarding prices, I will be the first to admit that I've asked rather high prices for the keyboards that I've sold on eBay, but there is always that group of folks who want what they want, and they want it right away.  That is a service I'm happy to provide. ;D

Thanks for the reminder about marking it sold - Done.  I don't think I've been good at keeping up with that on some of my posts!

I live in the suburbs—it's not easy finding ways to feel useful here.  :?)
