it's a LH maltron!

Only $31 at this time, but it'll go higher... much higher.

I don't know if it's a good deal or not, but someone might be interested in it!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Rare-Maltron-Computer-Keyboard-Type-LGIA-Clicky-Mechanical-For-IBM-PC-AT-/390876015611?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276

Those one-handed models pop up all the time on Ebay.  I think people think "Oh that looks cool, I want to try that!"   Then they get it, the learning curve is too steep and they put back up on Ebay.

My theory is that the same few one-handed Maltrons get passed around on Ebay every few months.
Wish I had some gif or quote for this space, but I got nothing

I take it you were expecting more like $300–400, considering they cost $600 new?
