BIN $35.00 + 17.88 shipping

Love these guys. A different experience from the classic IBM/Lexmark M's---lighter, a bit more resonant... Equally fun, IMHO.

The ad doesn't say if it's PS/2 or USB, but considering they're normally $84 + shipping new (http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/category/Classic), this is a nice deal for one in virtually new shape.

Especially good for the newcomers who want to start dipping their toes into the Buckling Spring arena.  Nice colour-way for this keyboard and it looks super cool on any desktop at work  8) .

This is the same price as an IBM model m though

Not with shipping, though... IBM M's have more collector's value. Here are the recent eBay sales (https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.TRS0&_nkw=1391401&_sacat=58058) of IBM 1391401s, for example. Of course people sometimes list them with undervalued BIN prices, so you can't really go by that. By my reckoning, 1391401s in decent, unrestored shape are currently going for around $80 shipped, on average.
