cheap 1390131
« on: Sat, 30 November 2013, 12:20:53 »
I bid on this just to make sure it didn't sneak by, but since I already got two M's this holiday season, I don't really need another.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111224160085

Ofcourse the 131 is more desirable than the lexmark and IBM 401's I have, so this is a pretty good deal.

Current bid (mine) is $15 and shipping from stockton is $12.80.

Ctrl and F5 keycaps are missing, but easily replaceable with spares from unicomp (or me, I think I have spares of those.)

1 hour left.

Darn it.  I have been watching this all week and I was going to bid on it, but I was outside doing yardwork.  Oh well, I am focusing on acquiring Model F's, anyways.

Wow. $16.50 for one of these is a steal.

Well, looks like I won it. Not that I mind. I always appreciate good deals on good IBM hardware.

I'll be bolt modding this, replacing the missing keycaps, and selling it to a worthy GH'er. Same with a few of the other good M deals I got.

Quite commendable! I was out of town most of the week, and did not keep track of ebay. I love the 1390131, it is my favorite.

When I find a really cheap 1390120 I will get it to do a ghetto SSK mod.

I just bought one of these from a different seller for $40 shipped. I was also the only bidder. But, dammit, you got a better deal than I did! ;D
