Discontinued Unicomp Space Saving Keyboard

Unicomp M 98U0150 (http://cgi.ebay.com/UNICOMP-M-98U0150-TrackPoint-PS-2-keyboard-mouse-Combo-/230475309107?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item35a9662033)

I offered $40 and the seller accepted.  Not a bad deal considering the free shipping.   One left.   There were 4 originally.

No longer available from Unicomp until they start producing the much anticipated buckling spring version.

I remember this seller!

Distinctive warning:


I always read that as Missouri not Money Order.  Or "No Mo Nigerians".

Have you purchased from this seller?   Not the best feedback rating.....

No but it should be  OK.  I find that "tested" in Ebay jargon means very little.  Sometimes the trackpoint goes wonky on these.

I have an "in" if this puppy needs repairing  :)   I probably would have preferred the non-trackpoint version.

Nice.  You got me beat by $10.  I should have offered less.

$40 for an M4-1? Meh... BON usually sells these things for about $25-30. They're not worth much more than that.

Didn't know that.   Figured that Unicomp sold these for $99, so $40 shipped seemed like a good deal.   Plus that 8% Bing cashback helps.  Plus there hasn't been much to buy for the past few days.   :)

$99 is probably because some company needs them and Unicomp has a limited stock of parts... They are worth nowhere near that, especially given that there was a NIB IBM one going for about $25 the other day.

I bought most of my NIB M4-1's for around $35.  That doesn't mean that I would consider a higher price unreasonable...for me, I accumulated many, so held out for good deals.

Is this UNICOMP M 98U0150 TrackPoint PS/2 keyboard/mouse Combo (http://cgi.ebay.com/UNICOMP-M-98U0150-TrackPoint-PS-2-keyboard-mouse-Combo-/230475309107) a buckling spring? It looks scissors to me.

Rubber sleeves.

Think stiff, firm scissor switches.

26 days auction??  Who IS this seller?

Probably webwit auctioning off his unicomp stuff (shhh, he secretly doesn't like marktplaäts).
