Value of a 1986 model m?
« on: Thu, 24 March 2011, 03:00:05 »
So I got my model m in the uk, and assumed it was the later model, because of the different look. But i believe it is from 1986.
It is a 1390136 if that helps. In one thread someone mentioned these as 'rare' is that true?
Thanks!

Yes, this is a old model. 1986 is a good year. ;)
I think your keyboard has the square logo on the right. That's more expensive than the 1301406.
Too many keyboards....

If you're selling it on eBay, it really depends on who sees it. On one hand, it should be worth a good bit given that square label ISO Model Ms are relatively rare. On the other hand, it depends on whether anyone who appreciates the value of one wants a UK layout one. A lot of the European Model M lovers have long since switched to the US layout.
