Seller is NCBound10, minimum bid of 125$ is pretty steep, but it does look like a nice mini.

Loot: tomorrow, there is a good chance that a brand new ssk will appear on ebay from comptekw2k.

It sold for considerably more than I was expecting it would.  Perhaps because the seller ships internationally and/or a well-known seller.  There was a SSK a few months ago that also sold for a lot more than average with a seller that would gladly sell to international buyers.

No comptekw2k keyboard today on ebay, and the last one sold on Jan 9th.  This is the longest gap between listings I remember.

I'm speculating that it's just a significantly whitened Space Saver with:
-Super white plastic
-Apple numpad layout (smaller + key, added = key, no alternate nav functions on the numpad, clear instead of numlock)
-F13-F15 instead of PrntScrn, ScrollLock, and Pause/Break
-Apple bottom row layout
-Help instead of Insert
-Return instead of enter, fake delete instead of Backspace.

The typical Mac user would never buy a bulky buckling spring unicomp spacesaver with mac deckles. They would rather have thin PCjr chiclets.
Unicomp could probably make more money if they produced space saving Model Ms instead, or, black M13s with proper labels.
