1 cent IBM XT keyboard in BOX
« on: Mon, 23 April 2012, 22:10:11 »
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.
Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”

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.
