This one is re-listed. It didn't sell last time.

Early bid up to $520. I'll be really amused if it gets bid over the $900 that nobody wanted to touch a couple of weeks ago.

It will. No one's willing to start at $900, but when it gets up into the 800's, people will be competitive.

Psychology is funny like that. Drives economists nuts.

I hope you win.

I hope you win.

Even if he wins, $520 is not a bad price for it. That's less than what I paid.

Geez. I remember when those things ran up $250...

[Laggy-gaga]

give up at $400

Since this one is shipping "worldwide" perhaps there may be more people interested in it. Most of them are USA-only auctions.

I'm starting to think that spreading false fears about "shill bidding" is actually a good thing - it means I'll be less likely to get outbid!

I better bid $2000 just to keep this away from Keyboardlover.


I keed, I keed.

Still holding with less than 24 hours.  If you end up winning it but don't really want it, I'll take it off your hands for $300.

Fine, I was wrong. $710. Prices are starting to come back down to earth.

Two bidders back and forth at the end. The early bidder (at $520 for days) ended up taking it for $710. The other bidder started in with almost 15 minutes still to go.

$710 is significantly less than the last few to sell. And less than the $900 this seller started at a couple weeks ago.

I wonder if potential sellers will put their M15s away for a while now.

$700 is not chump change for a keyboard. We'll see more (although less frequently as time goes on, as they wear out). I wonder if my review helped people realize this isn't some mystical object, just a very well-designed and well-constructed keyboard. $300-$800 is pretty reasonable for something that cost $200 when it came out and is now unavailable, but superior to anything else out there.
