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.

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.
