On this specific one, some of the plastic clips that hold the case together are broken off, so it might not stay together very nicely. I would not pay any more than $20-$30 for that.

It might be worth getting if you like the French ISO layout, that must be unusual. You might find a non-working specimen with a good case later for cheap, or something that you could upgrade the one and sell the other.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
