Not sure if that one is a virgin, I mean the box is opened  Also that one isn't even old enough to drink yet.

The keyboard's the virgin, Mr. Fussy, not the flippin' box. Besides, I knew virgins in high school who'd done a lot more than having their covers lifted.

Also that one isn't even old enough to drink yet.

So you wouldn't drink 19-year-old wine? Must be nice.

Look, it's an unused 2nd-generation M (note the fixed cable), not even one of Lexmark's thinned-down variants... If the seller's willing to take a C-bill for it, I doubt you'd find another NIB BS M for less.

I’m with JP on this one, but perhaps for different reasons. You start throwing letters into part numbers and it starts seeming “less IBM” to me. Plus, I personally prefer the classic Lock LED overlay. That’s not to say that it isn’t an excellent board though

That looks like a Greenock label to me. I have had dozens of Model Ms, and only 3 didn't work - all 1999 42Hs from Greenock.

I guess it just is what it is, then. (It actually was what it was all along, but let's not argue verb tense here.)

Seller says: "The box is even in fantastic shape but has a spot where a candle sat on it and transferred some wax onto the outside; never on the keyboard itself." This is just according to the description, though. The description for the item. On its auction page.
