"Reserve not met" is stupid and probably implies a fairly high bottom price.

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."

Yeah, I've noticed people seem to not even try to get to the reserve price. Even if someone else's listing is starting at the same price as the reserve price those sell just fine while the reserve one does not.

Sold for $50 + shipping.  I'm not too up to date on current pricing for these, but it seems reasonable.

Did anyone notice at what price the reserve seemed to have been set?

$50, good price for an Omnikey

I love Northgates but this is less desirable because of the layout. The 101 with true-ANSI is the one to have, in my opinion.

The bigass enter is less objectionable with a full-size backspace, but the lack of function keys at the top is a problem for a lot of people.

Personally, I like the left function keys, but it is nice having both.

See I'd say the exact opposite, I like the ANSI enter least of all enters and the bigass one the most. Guess it's a matter of opinion :) .
