Yeah, I convinced my mom to bid for both of those for Christmas, she got sniped on this last one :mad:

So, don't bid on the next one that's ending. OR ELSE!

Tell her to put up a max bid of $1,000,000,000.

Tad, you're better off waiting. NIB means "crazy bidder time". Wait for a "normal" M spacesaver, preferably not cleaned up. Ms are fun to take apart, they are really well made. They've been going 45-50USD for normal ones recently, with the NIBs going for double that. Anyway, Im hoping noone will have money after Christmas and all the crazy prices will go down :)

Yeah, same thing happened on this last one. I'll take your advice, as I'm planning on modding the 'board anyway, and it would be a shame to defile a brand new M.

Thats too bad. I see the first one went for 122.50. I paid as much for a used one : (
But I really wanted to have one. These are NIB which is just fricking awesome.
I like to think that these keyboards will only increase in value as time goes by.  

They really are true classic American keyboards. (To me anyways)

I just sent the seller a message. If I win, he can toss the computer and just ship the keyboard. That should save on shipping....

That's common practice, actually, if you want just part of an item that shipping would normally be high on - buy the whole thing, and tell the seller to just send what you want.

The seller can then relist the item without what you took. Or pitch it. :p
