I'm not a collector, though.  So if I was going to pay that money, I'd probably get a Unicomp with built-in USB

I don't have that model, but I believe so.  Model M's always have been (and with Unicomp still are).

I would too.  Or if I wanted a NIB model M of a similar vintage, Unicomp still have Kentucky Wildcats keyboards on clearance for US$59.  They're old: from just after the blue label era.  But that's a different "great find".  :)

This price seems ridiculous to me.

I can't imagine anybody paying over $80-85 + shipping, tops, and that would be a stretch.

Now Senators are asking what, exactly, happened to the at least $63 million that Trump extracted from media and technology companies to settle his fake lawsuits against them.

It turns out that the fund set up to receive those millions, the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Fund, Inc., no longer exists — because of course it doesn’t.

Even for NIB?

That is what, like $30 more than a comparable brand new Unicomp?

Granted, it might be worth a bit to get a blue IBM label and not have to look at that horrid Unicomp badge!

Collectors wouldn't want those. They're typical lexmark ones with the attached cables.
