That's right, the most common type of Model M ever—IBM made millions of them. And this one's from 1992, so it's not even an early example.

It does look clean, but the buyer hasn't bothered to include ANY description (it probably works...) or even bothered to unwrap the cable (is that attractive or what?).

Okay, this isn't exactly a "Great Find". But what is it with people like this? And why are there so many of them? Are they just dangling lines in the water, to see if anyone's gullible enough to bite?

And does anyone actually buy these wackily overpriced boards? If so, they have no one but themselves to blame for their lack of research—but you can't help feeling a little sorry for them, can you?

Ander my friend, do you know what the value of anything and everything is?

Whatever a fool wants to give for it. You can't blame them for trying ;P .

I agree. I think that starting at a silly high price and dropping 10% per week until you sell is a pretty good technique.

That would make sense, if that's what they're doing... I've never watched any of these long enough to find out.
