IBM 6110347 $75 shipped (most likely a F122)

Model M on the label, but a model F part number, and the label looks to be on a black metal back like all the model F122 boards.

and here are two other auctions for the same part number, also oddly cheap, that have labels specifying they are model F's

The label mentions it was "converted from another part number" so maybe it was serviced by "CELTECH" and re-labled.

6110347 is a Model F part number, and maybe by 1989 the refurbisher thought that the "Model M" mark would have a bigger market recognition.

$70 shipped for missing keys and damaged case and $97 shipped for a complete specimen might be a bit "low" but not "oddly low" considering how many of these have hit the market in recent weeks.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

It's when I see things like this amiss that I wonder how much these have been molested before being put up for auction...
