model M minis
« on: Mon, 02 August 2010, 22:02:37 »
These model M minis look similar....

first auction

second auction

In fact they use the same exact photos and same date of birth. Despite being different sellers. Somebody is taking liberties. Is it fraud?

Wish I hadn't bid on one...

Will do. The second one smells off.

Well I got mine from Comptekw2k for about 170$
If you look back at his sale history you can see he sold for even less than that. I guess this is around the average cost.

Model M Mini's don't even seem to be all that rare. Who's buying all these? Is it some crazy Korean guy?

Don't hold your breath.  I was joking about Unicomp.  It's the Geekhack version of Duke Nukem Forever.


Maybe if we all send them (bombard them with) emails, they'll at least tell us it's not coming out.

"Hello Luke
If you are referring to the 84 key model m our plans did not materialize into reality.
Glad the keycaps worked out for you.
Take Care

1987...that should be one of the earliest minis, then (serial number dependent of course).

IIRC the 'mini' was introduced for the PS/2 (Model 25 specifically) while the normal Model M was released earlier for certain PC/XT and PC/AT submodels.


The first fullsize was for the 3161 terminal. Tut tut.
