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.
"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."
