Model M for $1. It's refreshing to read such an honest description, complete with good photos. It prob works fine.
Heavy equipment auctions sometimes work like this.
I worked for a company once that ran medical equipment live auctions as part of their business. We're talking everything from exam treatment tables to MRI machines that had to be moved. Since all this stuff was in storage, there was no way to verify if something still works or if it works right so people were often told everyone to assume that what they were bidding on was non-operational.
Further compounding the complexity was that equipment was often moved in lots. They might auction everything from an MRI treatment room as one auction. People had to bid under the assumption that anything or everything could be broken.
