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:

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.
