WTF noob seller showing a 2 euro model M :/
« on: Sun, 26 January 2014, 02:44:09 »
Just saw this, and of course ATM it's quite impossible to join him by phone, so many people don't know the value of things they sell...

http://www.leboncoin.fr/informatique/610294041.htm?ca=21_s

A nice model M between 2 crap keyboards for only 2 euro ? Yes... trying to get it but I guess he's got many calls since early this morning... please let it for me, it's an AZERTY anyway and I miss my ex-model M :/

There should be a mandatory licence to sell stuff on the web LOL

I'm confused. Are you complaining because it's cheap or are you mad or what? I thought paying the least amount possible was what we all aim for.

Also, just hope the seller is not a casual GH member who happens to browse the keyboards section ;)

It'd be hilarious if it turns out it's a rubber dome version and the guy knew what he had all along.

Yes, and the photo is terrible.

But a 71G would be a blue label and that one looks black from here.

Twice I have gotten stuck with a Quiet Touch and managed to unload it on ebay for about $15. I was careful to sell it honestly, of course.

Thanks for the advice, I did not know there were domes models with the same shell, this keyboard was part of an IBM PC 330 machine, anyway I asked for back sticker pics to ensure it's a model M.

But the one I had got a blue IBM logo on it and was a model M (1995 UK).

Model Ms with part numbers 71xxxxxx are rubber domes. I do not know when or why they were made.

Yes I'm currently searching more informations but could not find any AZERTY 71G.... models, waiting for the pics I asked, If I could know which keyboard was sold with the IBM PC 330 computer it would be fine.

There were at least a half dozen keyboard options for the PC330.  Some were rubber dome, some were buckling spring (including the M13).  As far as I know, the rubber dome options didn't look like the classic M. Here's the base options with part numbers:

KB705 TRACKPOINT II KB PS 13H6705
104-KEY RUBBER-DOME KEYBOARD 41H9724
104-KEY RUBBER DOME KEYBRD BLACK 76H0109
ENHANCED KEYBOARD PS 92G7453
KB454 ENHANCED KEYBOARD PS/AT 92G7454
KB461 ENH KEYBOARD W/T PTII  92G7461

The last three are buckling spring and are the classic M case.  Do you have a part number?

If your informations are reliable, it's not a rubber dome as the first 3 keyboards won't look like the one on the pic :
1st one has a trackpoint
2nd one has windows keys
3rd one is black

Thx but I allready know it, that's why I'm asking the seller a sticker pic, although I'm pretty sure it's a model M...
I'm not rich and can't waste 20 euro (10 + shipping fees).

As far as rubber domes go, it's a top notch board.   

So you didn't buy it?
