IBM AT F keyboard 125 BIN + shipping (make an offer)

Seeing some of the more recent sales, even at full asking price this is about $150.00. 

I'm not getting it so I figured I'd post it.

Sorry if someone was watching this.

Looks nice—with the original black AT cable, too.

It was made in the UK, does that matter? Probably not with F's...

Cables on Model Fs are not detachable.
"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."

Yes they are, open the keyboard and unplug it! Pretty sure you did it a few times!  :p :p :p

So does its being made in the UK affect its value at all? Model M's from the UK (Scotland) aren't as desirable, but they're all from the M's last (newest) period, and apparently aren't quite as well made as other M's. Those kinds of things probably don't apply here.
