There's a guy selling two Model Ms at the Finnish auctioning site Huuto.net. Presumably they are the common 1391411 (Swedish 102-key) though I haven't asked as to not needlessly risk pushing the price up. The current bid is at 36 euros. The downside? They come with a huge pile of decent looking IT stuff that on closer inspection will probably be mostly useless. God knows how many people are lurking in the shadows though, prepared to put in their winning bid to get at all that goodness... The funny part: one guy asking the seller whether he would be prepared to hold the "heavy museum keyboards" should he win the bid in order to save on shipping costs (he said yes). Go figure. At this price, you could probably resell the junk sans the boards at the same price to get two free Model Ms...
Now, I have been looking at these for a bit, but I already have two Model Ms in great condition (a 1986 1389979 and a 1987 1391411) and getting all that junk on my hands is not appealing either (plus I just pigged out on a Realforce). So I'd be more than happy to leave what may or may not be a good loot to someone else.
Enough talk:

There's also an IBM here:

Parenthetically, there was also a guy trying to sell a Model M for a whopping 55 euros (complete with a missing key cap on the numpad Del) but I think he didn't get any bidders. Unlike the others, he did advertise them as BS boards.
