IBM Model M 1391401, "only" $225! (Do you get it? I don't...)
« on: Sat, 17 October 2015, 18:18:12 »
IBM Model M Mechanical Clicky Keyboard P/N 1391401 w/PS/2 Cable (eBay)

Buy It Now – $225.00, or Best Offer!





That's right, the most common type of Model M ever—IBM made millions of them. And this one's from 1992, so it's not even an early example.

It does look clean, but the buyer hasn't bothered to include ANY description (it probably works...) or even bothered to unwrap the cable (is that attractive or what?).

Okay, this isn't exactly a "Great Find". But what is it with people like this? And why are there so many of them? Are they just dangling lines in the water, to see if anyone's gullible enough to bite?

And does anyone actually buy these wackily overpriced boards? If so, they have no one but themselves to blame for their lack of research—but you can't help feeling a little sorry for them, can you?

Ander my friend, do you know what the value of anything and everything is?

Whatever a fool wants to give for it. You can't blame them for trying ;P .

I agree. I think that starting at a silly high price and dropping 10% per week until you sell is a pretty good technique.

"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated."

That would make sense, if that's what they're doing... I've never watched any of these long enough to find out.
