IBM Model F-AT + four Model M 1390131's: $400 BIN, OBO

Make of this what you will:

5 VINTAGE IBM TYPE M KEYBOARDS ☆make me a offer ☆

BIN: $400 + shipping





That's definitely a Model F-AT at the top... The other four appear to be p/n 1390131 (first-generation) Model M's.

The seller says "Make me an offer", but there's no "Make an Offer" button, so I guess they expect you to to message them. (They've been on eBay nearly a year, have 34 sales and 100% approval, so they seem on the level... Maybe they just didn't know how to activate the MaO feature.)

Considering ATs go for $150–250 these days, and that '131s are as solid as M's get, this could be a very good deal.

I'm probably not the only one here who'd consider the CLASSIFIED TRANSMISSION PROHIBITED sticker a bonus, too.

If he didn't know already, he will soon find out that the AT was worth more than all the Ms together.
“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”
- Franklin Roosevelt 1933
