IBM Model F-AT + four Model M 1390131's: $400 BIN, OBO

Make of this what you will:

5 VINTAGE IBM TYPE M KEYBOARDS ☆make me a offer ☆

BIN: $400 + shipping





That's definitely a Model F-AT at the top... The other four appear to be p/n 1390131 (first-generation) Model M's.

The seller says "Make me an offer", but there's no "Make an Offer" button, so I guess they expect you to to message them. (They've been on eBay nearly a year, have 34 sales and 100% approval, so they seem on the level... Maybe they just didn't know how to activate the MaO feature.)

Considering ATs go for $150–250 these days, and that '131s are as solid as M's get, this could be a very good deal.

I'm probably not the only one here who'd consider the CLASSIFIED TRANSMISSION PROHIBITED sticker a bonus, too.

If he didn't know already, he will soon find out that the AT was worth more than all the Ms together.
"The old Republican Party was a stool with three legs: social conservatism, economic conservatism and national security conservatism.
So too is the MAGA Republican Party. One of those legs is the nativist extremism of Stephen Miller. The second is the anti-government extremism of Russell Vought.
And the last is the open, flamboyant corruption of Donald Trump — a corruption that degrades a people’s faith in government and makes it all the easier to remake the state in the image of a single man.
