I predict this goes for lots of money now that you've posted it here.

fohat.digs · « **Reply #2 on:** Tue, 12 November 2013, 14:52:37 »

If used ones have been selling in the $350-450 range, a new one should command at least a $50 premium.

My B.
But to be honest it was going to be posted any way.

Heck, the busted one missing keys went for 230 or something...

It has a strange lexmark label put over the original ibm label

Lexmark refurb perhaps? I also notice there's no date or serial number.

rowdy · « **Reply #11 on:** Tue, 12 November 2013, 16:41:17 »

Price is gonna go up anyway (already gone up to $182.50).

I'd buy it myself if I could afford it!

I doubt it. I just meant that when the price goes over about 4X the price of a standard M, a few hours at the work bench is not so bad.

smknjoe · « **Reply #16 on:** Tue, 12 November 2013, 17:39:26 »

Okay, I think I need to sell one of mine now. It's up to $430 now. How much does Ebay charge, 10%?

Alessandro · « **Reply #17 on:** Tue, 12 November 2013, 17:43:25 »

Ok. People have forgotten how to Ebay...

Holy....

If this goes for more than the M15 I bought like 4 weeks ago a then people have gone completely crazy.
This is a fun one to watch.

Someone out there really wants one.

I'd really like one, but there's a difference.

smknjoe · « **Reply #22 on:** Tue, 12 November 2013, 18:01:30 »

It looks like it could possibly be a refurb like Dork mentioned. It's missing a rubber "foot" on the top right and there is a small ding in the case just above the retractable "foot" on the right. Plus, that is weird that it has a label on top of the original.

Blue IBM = it's from the 90's?

smknjoe · « **Reply #26 on:** Tue, 12 November 2013, 18:44:03 »

You can only hope...the prices have steadily gone up for the last year on all of the Ms. I don't know if it will crash, but it should at least plateau.

They have a sliding scale with a lot of variables, but that is not too far off. Auction is cheaper than fixed price, shorter time is cheaper than longer time. Reserve is stupid and costs extra.

I recommend a "reverse auction" where you start at a very high fixed price and drop it by 10% every so often until you sell.

not sure if sarcastic but, have you seen these CC auctions? 7 day auction, within the first 24 hrs somebody has bid 100 already.

neunelfer · « **Reply #35 on:** Tue, 12 November 2013, 23:09:00 »

What's the deal with the Lexmark label? I'm surprised it's going so high considering it has a label stuck over the original.

Lexmark-made IBM's look that way, typically. At least the ones I have had.

Lexmark label on the back + blue label means newer than about 1993 or so.

Sooo, what happened? Did the seller decide to end the auction without selling? Can you do that?

E TwentyNine · « **Reply #43 on:** Sat, 16 November 2013, 16:17:17 »

He relisted it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131049138663

Listing text is the same with the added comment:

"Item had to be relisted due to High Bidder NOT planning on paying for item. Serious Bidders only Please."

How did he know that the buyer was not planning on paying for the item? Is he a mind-reader?

smknjoe · « **Reply #45 on:** Sat, 16 November 2013, 16:28:31 »

I wondered when that was going to happen. It was very suspicious that it shot up so high and so fast. It's all a little fishy isn't it FH? (rhetorical)

He could have contacted the high bidder while the auction was still going.

However, if the auction wasn't over he could have just cancelled the high bidder's bid. The story as is does not make a lot of sense, especially when he had two bids over $500.

neunelfer · « **Reply #47 on:** Sat, 16 November 2013, 17:08:51 »

It's possible he had a friend bidding it up.

Shill bidding only works if you back off before the closing bell.
