"WHAT A BEAUTY!"

Looks like a mismatched box.  The board is an AT board, but the box is an XT box.  So I doubt any "in box" value should be added to it.  From the picture it's a bit difficult to determine what the condition is.  Anyone checked what shipping will be to the U.S.?  With the likely high cost of shipping overseas, my guess is that this one will likely go to someone from Oz.

The easiest way to tell an XT from an AT immediately is to simply look to the left/right of the space bar.  The AT has a gap on the right between the Alt and space bar and on the right between it and the Caps Lock.  The XT has no gaps.  The actual board listed has the gaps, the box does not.

Other dead giveaways are the AT's large reverse-L enter, and a small gap between the typing area and the keypad.

The gap between the main key cluster and numpad is the quickest way for my eyes to tell.  But now that you mention it Sam, seeing the gaps on the sides of spacebar is probably just as good at a glance.

What do you expect from former prisoners?

You wouldn't happen to have a Lego stingray with sharp barbs, would you?  :)
