Another F AT in good shape. Will ship worldwide for fair price.
« on: Mon, 20 January 2014, 10:40:27 »
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-IBM-PC-AT-PERSONAL-KEYBOARD-84-KEY-CLICKY-CLICK-computer-/111261107737?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item19e7adc619

looks nice and clean. Missing a black rubber pad. I can't tell whether the numpad keys are shiny or whether it's just reflection. I'd say is worth chasing up to $86, after which is really quite subjective.

I notice seller WILL ship abroad and his shipping estimate is pretty fair. $30-50 for Europe, Asia and Australia.

All of a sudden, there's a flood of AT F's reasonably priced.  Nice find!

Funny, the one I got from cgbuen has the same rubber pad missing. :)

And before someone asks, no, that's not my auction. I don't sell keyboards on eBay, and I'm not in San Antonio.

GOOD CONDITION
I CAN'T TEST SO AS IS, NO RETURNS - so basically what seller is saying i have no idea is it working....... although "The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended" so is it working or not? can't get response from this guy

It may be as simple as the seller not having an AT-to-PS/2 adapter. A person who is not interested in 20+ year old keyboards would not have such a thing.

In other scenarios, this might help with an opportunity to get a bargain. This time, however, there is obviously a lot of interest in this keyboard.

With selling prices at $100+, there may well be multiple speculators bidding up to the $80+ range purely for the purpose of reselling at a profit.

Yes. Model F ATs are prone to that corrosion. I will be scrubbing away, you can guarantee that. I am also going to mod the layout. I don't like the fata$$ enter keys. Needs more ANSI.

Seller hasn't shipped it yet though *shrug*

ANSI mod is not that hard, if you are going in there to clean and rehab anyway, it is a trivial swap of springs. Bigass Enter is not a problem for me, but I can't stand a small Backspace.

I would add the additional alt keys beside the space bar if I had a spare F XT to gut.
