Title: 2nd-gen (e.g. '92) Model M-122 terminals, $26–27 shipped
Post by: ander on Wed, 24 May 2017, 21:32:36
You'll need an adapter to use them, but they don't get much cheaper:

eBay seller's item page (http://www.ebay.com/sch/taylorswiftttttt/m.html?item=272685991807)

$8.99–9.99 each + 17.99 U.S. shipping.

Obviously, if they're not on the seller's page anymore, they've been, er, sold.

It looks legit but does smell a little fishy - how do you ship it and still make a little money? What the heck though, I'll bite for $12! Let's see what happens (maybe I'll get a picture of a 1390572, lol).

I bought one, too—if nothing else, I can get a sense of whether the size is completly crazy or not.

But I'm looking at it now, and it says they were $29.99 each, not $11.99:

Wow, that was a heck of a deal:

But it'd cost about $10 just to ship each of them... Maybe they needed a tax write-off?

The seller did subsequently  increase the price in the listing  to $29.99, but it was $11.99 when I ordered and the seller never balked at the order and shipped it promptly and very well packaged. I have to admit I ordered it in part to see if I'd actually get it as advertised, and while  I still don't quite understand it,  I did receive a 1988 Model M 122 1390572 that's in very good condition with all keys, etc. for $11.99 including shipping. Typing on it now.

Mine was delivered today, too, but I went home sick at lunch so haven't seen it yet.  Pics?

Cool—congrats! Sharing in other GHers's good fortune is almost as good as having it one's self.  :?)
