IBM Model M 1390131 Silver Logo untested $25 OBO + Shipping
« on: Tue, 28 October 2014, 23:31:17 »
I'll probably regret not grabbing it to play around with and dye, but it's a killer price if it's fully functional.

And gone almost immediately.  Wonder what the offer was that got it.  I almost put in for $20.

Sold for $20 + $8 shipping.

I was pinged about this by three different people, which probably explains why it went so fast. There are too many eyes on IBM stuff to get a good deal anymore unless you're fast, lucky, or good (at finding mis-listed or rare items).

Nice, so I could have grabbed it if I had been faster.  Oh well.  I'm actually one of those people who doesn't care about Model Ms, it just popped up in my normal keyboard search that I have saved.  I really wanted it for the PBT caps and something cheap to play with dye with. As long as no one else bids on the other three boards I've got feelers in right now, all is good.

Damn...  :(

This seller has one filthy newer Unicomp Model M left and will probably do $30 shipped. Not as good as the silver label, but better than nothing if you wanted one.  It's what I got to mess around with.  I'm going to refurbish it, dye it, and probably get rid of it.

Wouldn't it be a grey label? There is no square silver label on the right...

Either way, good price for any M I suppose.

or blue label. Either way it can't be a 1390131. You can also tell because the 1390131 and 1390120 usually (always?) have black cables and DIN connectors for AT, whereas the 1391401 that this most likely is has the normal PS/2 cable.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.

IMO an amazing deal.  But I gues I'm not sure what they would go for on Ebay.
