This is the Model F, and looks like a fine specimen.

I have never bought from NCbound but I understand that he has a excellent reputation. His prices are never low, but not ridiculous either.

The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

I've purchased several hard to acquire boards from him (all ALPs based) and they have all been in great condition with the exception of one.  He's an excellent seller.

Holy crap! AT Model F prices have sure gone up. I bought mine from ncbound a few years ago for around $70. I also bought a Model M from him.

He an OK seller, but he touches up the keyboards to make them look nicer than they actually are - using a paint (or cream?) that quickly wipes off. It was like that on both of mine. After getting my keyboards, I gave them a quick wipe with a damp paper towel and noticed it was covered with beige. The keyboards then showed marks that weren't visible before. That seems a bit fraudulent to me. I mentioned it to him, but got no response. I didn't complain though because the keyboards were otherwise great.

A couple of years ago the "going rate" jumped from $50-80 to $100-120 very quickly.

Good ones have sold since then for well under $100, but not consistently.

I would guess that today's rate is in the "low-mid-$100s" for an average one and the "mid-high-$100s" for a nice one.

My guess is that he will get the $250 after a while, because somebody will build up enough desire.
