Notice I tried to make it seem a bit more appealing on ebay.

To make it more appealing on ebay, you're supposed to make unverifiable claims like it was used by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David when writing Seinfeld season 3 episode 5. Or that it was in a scene of Dances with Wolves.

How about getting some white keycaps and selling it as otaku?

Or that it was Jon Voight's Model M.

The dark-brown kind of ruins the colour scheme I think.

sealcouch · « **Reply #12 on:** Tue, 27 July 2010, 20:17:22 »

I know. I WAS ERROR.

That's why I'm trying to sell it.

If the blue was pink instead, you could have had a neapolitan model M. With a cherry to boot.

Damn damn damn. Why didn't i think of that?!

Sorry to double post, I want everyone to know how happy I am that someone bid on this ugly piece of buckling spring poo.

Man, you make such a compelling case for your product. Maybe you need to change the title of this thread to "Shameful Self."

I don't think anyone from GH bought it anyway. haha. I will try harder next time anyway. =D

Umm, isn't that blue not red? I admit I am bit color-blind... But still...
EDIT: I mean the description right there...

Two reasons:

B) you're not french?

Yes he just made a mistake. All of the keys are blue, with some brown, and the esc red.

sealcouch · « **Reply #22 on:** Fri, 30 July 2010, 16:07:10 »

Crap crap crap. I really thought I changed that description before I relisted it. KillerBee, you do know that the letters and numbers and arrow keys and stuff are blue right?

La Modelle M du goate diarahree.

Methinks I doth amuseth mine selfe.

I'm sure he knows if he seen the pictures.

KillerBee · « **Reply #24 on:** Fri, 30 July 2010, 17:41:35 »

I am aware the keys are blue!

This is the plan:

The brown keys and the cherry ESC will go on my white model M with white keys.

The grey keys taken from the other model M along with the blue keys will go into my other model M that was re-cased into a black UNICOMP SMARTREX. (Black Case/Blue Keys) Sexyness!

Look forward for my build thread: Called: A TALE OF THREE MODEL M's
- My 10 year old Model M
- Sealcouch doo-doo board
- RUBBER DOME Smartrex (only using the black case)

- Sealcouch doo-doo board

This is too funny. It's too bad there will only ever be one Sealcouch doo-doo board. Otherwise, it'll be one of the famously named GH boards like the Ricercar SPOS.

Ah... never underestimate the long arm of the GeekHack.

KillerBee · « **Reply #26 on:** Fri, 30 July 2010, 18:48:12 »

Doo-doo is too strong of a word to use

This will be my dark chocolate board with a lil cherry on top
