It's been posted a few times before, but I think this is the first time it's close to reasonable territory.  It's been $150-200 with shipping in the past.

I think this is a rubber dome keyboard. Someone else may be able to confirm.

I think this is a rubber dome keyboard.

It has been my experience that 71x and 72x Ms are rubber dome, and the 1-piece keys will not work on buckling springs due to non-hollow stems.
"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."

I asked him how much it would be for just the keycaps, and he said that the shipping would stay the same $87.53 to the USA, but that the item price would be free, so basically $10 less...  I thought it would more like $30-$40 in shipping by only shipping the caps, but apparently not.

If it was going the other way, the small flat-rate box from the US will hold a set of Model M keys (that is how Unicomp ships them) and I think that the international rate is about $25, and International Air Mail is usually about 2/3 to 3/4 of that amount, but their post may be different.

If this is a rubber dome M, the keys will be useless for a buckling spring IBM keyboard.

Got this one for the opening bid from the same seller, this one should be buckling spring:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121562448731

Part number is nothing special, but it's missing the escape key cap which shows that it isn't a rubber dome in the wrong case at least.

Shipping was $87.53, but I guess the auction price makes up for it. I think the same seller has listed some of these before, so he probably has access to more if anyone else is looking.

Yeah, that's a 1391401 which is a buckling spring model. Good find.
