Title: [ENDED] '94 Dell (Lexmark) Model M, clean, going for $35 shipped?

Vintage 1994 Dell Lexmark Model M 1369050 PS/2 101 key clicky keyboard, tested (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1994-Dell-Lexmark-Model-M-1369050-PS-2-101-key-clicky-keyboard-tested/282746274019)

Ending tonight (6:13 pm) and no one's bid on it, possibly because it superficially resembles the later, far more common rubber-dome Dell AT101W:

Make no mistake, though—this 1369050 is a genuine buckling-spring Model M, essentially identical to IBM Model M's of the same period. And it's still at its opening price of $19.94 + 15.87 U.S. shipping, so this may be a chance to grab one cheap.

The cord's a bit stretched, but most of them get that way eventually. The owner has cleaned (short of opening the case) and tested it, which many sellers don't bother to do.

I was looking at this and then it just went poof and gone. :(  Too bad too as the seller was local to me.  He knows keyboards as he has a few more for sale including a white label Model M that was his 'daily driver' for a while:
