Expensive. Seems to be the trend with these boards though.

Could always try the OBO if it doesn't sell for after a week.

The drainage canals and holes but in a standard beige casing do signify semi industrial.

Most Model Ms made between 1992-1993, and all after 1993 have drainage channels. The Industrial Model Ms got the drainage channels at the same time the rest of them did, so there's no correlation between Industrial and drainage channels.

I thought some had the holes but not channels and then more 'industrial' ones had both? Is that true?

Ones made in the UK had holes but no channels. There's some theories about this, but nothing definite. Some of the early Lexmark ones were like this too.

The only difference between a white and "Industrial" Model M of any given year made in any given place was the colour.

The keyboard is attached to the System  Unit via a 3.05 meter (10
feet)   coiled  cable,   permitting   a   variety  of   workspace
configurations.


Interesting, so there were 10ft AT SDL cables so.

I offered that guy $100, based on how much new boards sell for (comptekw2k) and the fact that he wants $50 to ship that thing overseas. He replied with a $155.95 counter-offer which I declined.

For comparison, Unicomp sent me a double-boxed NEW IBM Space Saver for $43 (USPS Priority Mail International) when they still had them...

AND you got a Numpad!

I hate numpads.  Sign of weakness.  Or accountant tendencies.

It's probably worth about $140. considering the NIB one will likely go for over $200.

Why don't we all make offers and eventually the seller will probably accept one.
