Ignore this. Bad deal.
« on: Wed, 18 March 2015, 05:40:35 »
Edit: Upon closer inspection, these are rubber dome boards.

Guy on ebay seems to be selling ten of these, untested. No bids yet. Description seems a little dubious.

Either way, may be worth it for someone.

Model Ms and M2s with part numbers starting with "7" are rubber dome.
Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”

Oh, right. I somehow overlooked that when I was looking at the auction.

If someone could lock/delete this then, that would be good. Not exactly a great find, is it?

You can modify your first post and thread title to reflect that they're rubber dome and it's not a great deal.

I even PM'd this seller to inform him these are rubber dome, non-clicky Model M's but I don't think he fully got the clue. Sellers who even use the word "clicky" or any derivatives of it when listing rubber dome M's are either clueless or liars. Reading the description in too-closely-line-spaced big red letters (at least on my display) reveals a bit of cocky attitude as well.
