Title: Is Index Worldwide a scammer?
Post by: phoenix on Mon, 19 April 2010, 03:25:56

1392980 (Terminal !?) 84 key Model M $50 BIN: ebay 290371323563

2 sold, 4 available. someone bought 1 last week and came back for 3 more (offer pending).

I was doing my weekly search of "IBM Keyboard" but somehow never saw this. In some old posts, Index Worldwide was said to be unresponsive and sold things that they didn't really have in stock.

Got similar results w/ them when trying to buy an Industrial.  I'd steer clear from them unless you are certain that they have anything.

I'd say they're deceptive.
