This is one of those Lexmarks with an alternate part number and (I believe) a different serial# sequence.

Lexmark PN 1428401, Model M15
Serial # 0000347
Manufacture date of 3/9/1995.

Looks like all the feet are intact, seems in good condition generally from the tiny photos and description. Non-smoker.
Hairline crack in the ball joint mechanism.

Is this what these are really going for now? Seems pricey by at least a hundred bucks to me, and odd that it's not open for bidding.

I think one of these went for $1800 or something like that not too long ago. It was NIB, if I recall.

M15's are really pricy on ebay, but I'm told that you can get them cheaper elsewhere.

X X $900 still a good deal?

[tiarnachutch]

The more typical price for one of these lately has been in the $500-600 range. I'd hardly call this a good deal, but I suppose it depends how bad you want one.

what is a good price to get one of these at? i mean obvious its all insane to the rest of the world.
how often do they come up...ive looked at the m15 for a while now, one of the few keyboards id consider dropping big bucks on.

I would rather have a Cherry G80-5000 at that price.

[tiarnachutch]

Its now relisted with no price change. Bets on whether it sells?

[SmallFry]

I'd say no. I want one though...*goes dumpster diving and to the local Goodwill*

[RougeR]

price drop, any idea what one should aim to pay for one of these?

[tiarnachutch]

Less than that. Seriously. The last one on ebay was NIB and demanded a premium, but this one is used and has a crack in the ball joint.

There's not much supply go compare against, but I've seen them sell in the $500-600 range on a normal auction.
