Brand new 1986 Silver Label Model M $250

It's reasonably tough to find a NIB silver label. I'd get it myself if I had the cash. Quite a beauty.

Very early date, highly desirable.

This probably one of that lot of a dozen or so that Cindy was selling a month ago.
"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.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

You think?  I thought all Cindy's NIB were complete boxes.  I wasn't paying much attention to the M's she had.  I doubt she was tracking who got what s/n board so nobody could be publicly shamed for flipping one.

I purchased one from Cindy, pretty sure it was an '88 model.  It didn't come with the key cover (but it did have the Black AT cable).

Mine also had the Function key overlay cards which are pretty cool.

My Model M is labelled May 05, 1986. It wasn't NIB but I'd swear that it couldn't have been used very much at all. It seems and feels brand new. A NIB one would be pretty sweet though.
