Model M, $16 shipped

So far bids are still low. Who knows what the closing price is? Recently people have been buying Ezra's and other customized boards, so if there isn't much interest in this one you might get a bargain.

Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

May not ship to Canada

I just love seeing this on eBay auctions. Puts me in a great mood. Oh wait, no, the other thing.

ALSO, WHY THE HELL DO EBAY SELLERS THINK ITS COOL TO TYPE THEIR DESCRIPTION IN ALL CAPS? IT JUST MAKES ME NOT TRUST THEM.

No model number?  I've seen RD ones sold as "Clicky" before.

I could be wrong, but I thought the RD ones were all blue label.

You would be correct. The first year they made a RD Model M was 1994 AFAIK.
