Those have been bringing some big bucks on eBay recently.  Guess I'll pass on it due to the high prices that the sellers have been getting for them.  They are probably worth every penny, though, when compared to most modern boards.

people are probably watching and getting in while the going is good, this happens a lot for rare gear (I watch unix machines a lot)

Im thinking I might sell on of my UK ones as people here go crazy (£70) for a normal Model M.
Could do with the cash to pay for the realforce I just ordered.
Keyboards. Happy Hacking pro 2 x2. One white one black. IBM model M US layout. SGI silicone Graphics with rubber dampened ALPS. IBM model F. ALPS apple board, I forget what it is. And some more I forget what I have.

Typewriters. Olivetti Valentine. Imperial Good Companion Model T. Olympia SM3

I'm sure the spike has something to do with all the NPR and other press about clicky keyboards.

I'd like a M mini, but I'm not willing to pay more than $80-90 for it, right now.
