IBM Model F XT on ebay
« on: Thu, 13 November 2014, 09:22:49 »
as these things go these days, this is a pretty good price.

90% chance somebody plugged it into an AT-to-PS/2 adapter and it didn't boot up.

Yeah - they have it titled as an AT.  Nice price.

Oh, yeah! A year ago I had trouble selling 2 clean tested ones in the $35-40 + shipping price range.

Today they regularly sell at $80+ to over $100

What? XT prices are the same as AT prices now?

No, ATs are going for ~$150.
