Hebrew Model M $220 BIN
« on: Fri, 14 March 2014, 23:50:56 »
Seems ridiculously expensive to me for a Model M, but might be worth it to someone.  You can also bid on it, but with how the bidding is now, you're probably better off doing the BIN price.

You'd think he'd realize the price is insane then.

NO, it's a good deal because he never raised the price  :p

I think you can still buy other languages of keys from unicomp. So, yeah, if that's so it's definitely a crazy price.

Yeah, I'd rather have this Greek one, to be honest:

Those look cool. If I had it, I'd just leave it on qwerty to confuse people. If only not iso enter.

That's pretty easy to fix once it's been bolt modded
