Mint Condition (New) IBM Model M SpaceSaver (Plano, TX)
« on: Fri, 05 July 2013, 21:16:27 »
Hello guys,

   Here is a seller on craigslist selling basically a  brand new IBM Model M 1988 SpaceSaver keyboard. I honestly was about to buy it since for $200 a new one of these is hard to get nowadays. I know there are some of you guys here that appreciate these and such I refer you to the craigslist listing. The person was nice and was ready to meet with me at a public place but I had to cancel. I thought over and over again, and I realized I don't have use for a tenkeyless keyboard and the money right now is out of my hands.

I hope some of you may be able to appreciate this awesome deal.

Also, this is not me and I am not affiliated nor do I know the person.Just thought it was a good deal.

That is a very early model that probably has a heavy plate.

Boxes are very cool and add value at the upper echelons of the marketplace.

Yeah a dream deal, just not for me quite sadly. I am new here and I saw how much you guys value these so I rather share it with you guys and hope someone that will care for it gets it :)

About same time as me. Found it yesterday,  I sealed it earlier today in the morning and canceled on him a little later in the day. We already had the meet up and everything planned X) . That little SSK is in good hands then :)

p.s Don't you think it is funny of all the places to find one, it would be in such a new condition on Craigslist? I thought it was rather funny place to find and lucky indeed.

Me neither, but just take a look . I also found another mint condition Model M white label. You honestly never know where you can find these. The ones on craiglist I found were in much better condition than the ones on eBay  :))

I have been wondering how this one went for $85.99 a few weeks ago:

Did you guys see the description. LOL, painfully obvious they didn't know what they had there.

Still has all the keywords in the title and description... and it ended at 8pm local time. Dont see how people weren't bidding on it. Basing it on seller alone I guess less people would be visting their 'store' but still... like I said I would assume people searching would still find it and bid.
