1 cent IBM XT keyboard in BOX
« on: Mon, 23 April 2012, 22:10:11 »
Found this and when I found the postage was like $75, I couldn't afford it. Someone who is desperate for a XT keyboard may want this.

I'm surprised that it's still at a penny, even with two days to go. I imagine it'll go up, but it's a pretty good find, indeed. Shipping is only $25.

Thanks for posting, perhaps I'll bid.

There are several more XTs from the Gutenberg project guy on ebay right now.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Yeah, I asked that guy how much postage was for one of those and he said about $80. I hate how all the good vintage keyboards are in the US.
