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.
“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

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.
