Off-hand, seems like a good deal:

But the seller's feedback is extremely poor and seemingly doesn't ship some of the items once the auction is over.  Perhaps if he doesn't get the price he's expecting, he just goes cold and doesn't do anything.  If that's the case, I suppose it's more of just a hassle to request your money back.  Needless to say, buyer beware on this one.

And it's probably worthwhile mentioning that being no labels are pictured, you cannot guarantee the the four blue logo M's aren't rubber dome.  At least I don't know of anyway of distinguishing them by a photo of the front.  If anyone is interested in this you probably ought to at least confirm what the model numbers are first.

Divided by 8 keyboards, that's only about $8 per keyboard.  Actually not bad for the shipping I'd say.  Even if you didn't want the M2's, that's still only works out to $10 shipping per keyboard.  I don't think I've seen many sellers listing Model M shipping for $10 or under, unless they're eating the shipping cost by raising the price of the keyboard.
