help identifying a Model M
« on: Tue, 26 April 2011, 16:22:15 »
I have a seller who is offering me this:











As far as I can tell, this is a legit UK-made PS/2 Model M in FI/SWE layout (which is the layout I want), is this correct? The seller says it's in great condition, except for the cord which has darkened. How much would you say is a reasonable price to pay for that thing?

The seller is asking for 60€ + shipping, is this reasonable?

Not unless you need that keyboard layout.

the current price of model m is at about 60 € indeed, so it's fair , but you can get some new unicomp, maybe with fi/swe layout , at a little bit higher price.
If you need it buy it it's not so expensiive given the current model m prices. In france a model m azerty layout was sold at 50 € and another at 80 € didn"t...

I had previously contacted Unicomp about this and while the actual keyboard in FI/SWE layout would be around 90$, the overseas shipping over from USA would add another 50$ on top and 140$ converts to 95€.

I'm not sure newegg is a thing in europe.

Those are more expensive there than I thought they'd be. I guess the US layout is just way easier to find.
