And yet another Spacesaver M

Right here.

Make sure to read the description.  It's pure awesome.

Here's a snippet:

Quote
In case you did not know, there are Model M's with Gray IBM logos and Model M's with Blue IBM logos.  The Blue logos were made later (after the Cold War ended). Which do you think is better?  Some people say they are the same.  As far as I am concerned, they are not the same.  I've compared them.  While a Blue logo Model M is better than all other keyboards other than a Gray Model M, do you really want to have to hedge when your grandchildren ask if you actually  typed on a "real Model M?"

I'm wondering if and when the 101-to-SpaceSaver Mod will start affecting the prices of these.  My feeling is that a lot of buyers of the SpaceSavers are ones who will be actually using them, and many of them likely won't care if their board has a seam on the right side or not, as long as they can save a hundred bucks on the board.

Too bad Daniel will be moving as he seemed to have a good knack for cleaning and modifying his M's and selling them at reasonable prices.  But if someone else picks up on this and starts selling them, I think it will likely at the very least put a damper on the rising trend.

I don't think that mod will affect their prices in the least.  I expect them to keep going up.

Well, guess we'll have to wait and see.  Speaking of which, isn't comptekw2k overdue in listing another NIB SpaceSaver?  Maybe the seemingly endless supply has been exhausted?  If so, that would put some upward pressure on NIB units.

In his description of the Logo colours, he omitted the Black Logo of the Industrial M, maybe I've been picking too many nits. No surprise, monkeys are excellent habitual nit-pickers.

An unpredictable or irregular listing factor and the unknown quantity of supply will enforce the demand to raise the cost of purchase.
