1 cent IBM XT keyboard in BOX

Found this and when I found the postage was like $75, I couldn't afford it. Someone who is desperate for a XT keyboard may want this.

I'm surprised that it's still at a penny, even with two days to go. I imagine it'll go up, but it's a pretty good find, indeed. Shipping is only $25.

Thanks for posting, perhaps I'll bid.

There are several more XTs from the Gutenberg project guy on ebay right now.
From the US Constitution, Article 1, Section 8 :

The   Congress   shall have Power
To declare War,  grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To provide for calling forth the Militia  to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

Yeah, I asked that guy how much postage was for one of those and he said about $80. I hate how all the good vintage keyboards are in the US.
