IBM Model M Space Saver
« on: Mon, 23 May 2011, 11:39:07 »
***** SOLD ********

This board speaks for itself no introductions needed!

Condition: Good - Hey this board is 24 years old so it has a few battle wounds but is still going strong. That little blemish under the F8 key in the first picture is a scratch in the plastic. It is also a little dusty, I wiped it off but did not take it apart to clean between the keys.

Price: lets call it $90 plus shipping which we will call $15 bucks for US shipping.

Or the rest are overpriced.  Actually it's not that much less than the average price I've paid for SSKs over the past couple of months.  I don't recall what the exact amount is, but I recall it was somewhere in the neighborhood of $110 when I calculated it last.  Typically SSKs sell for considerably less in the GH classifieds compared to eBay.  I guess our members like giving other GH members a price break.  It's still double though what those three $45 SSKs sold for recently on eBay.

I'm quite surprised how much Space savers are going for. Makes me wonder what NIB ones are going for with some of the offers I got on this one after I already sold it.
