One of these just went for $110 a couple weeks ago, did anyone here bid on this?

That would be a great *found*. :-)
I was watching it. I don't think the last one that went for $110 has a square label.

That one didn't have a square label, you're right. It was a lot cleaner than this one, though.

Hehe, I bought that one. It is made in the UK. I would rather have a square label one though. I am thinking about selling mine, since I bought a different one.

Why is a square label more expensive?

Maybe because they are less common?

I'd say because it's older, too. I think the connector between the PCB and the LED's is a lot nicer on those.
The prevalent idea on model M's seems to be that older is better
