I'm also interested, any chance that you could just ask for one, while I try for the other one, so that this guy doesn't end up upping the price on both of us?

Sorry ffn I didn't see your post til just now.

I bought them both. They are old -- from 1997. One is super clean and looks new. The other has many miles on it, its keys are shiny and it needs a bath. Both work.

Key caps are pad printed. So it wasn't worth more than $50 anyway...
