[nubbinator]

These have been going for around $200 + shipping lately, so just keep that in mind when bidding

You already made a thread about this seller’s auction, and I think it was also mentioned in another thread: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=69816

Anyway, silly guy...

$150 starting price, no bids, ended 18 March: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251875200756
$175 starting price, no bids, ended 26 March: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251885559859
$195 starting price, no bids, ended 3 April: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251895477695

And of course now $199 starting price, no bids, ongoing.

One kinda crappy picture and a brief ungrammatical description. No idea what he’s thinking. (At least he put a picture up of the keyboard itself though. His first auction originally showed a crop from another seller’s picture of a different keyboard.)

Well, at least the shipping free now.  Was something around $18 shipping for me before.

It's a new listing, so I posted it.  Is the price raise ridiculous?  Yes, but the price is still decent.

[jacobolus]

Sure. Why not keep it in the previous thread though, and if necessary update the title?

[nubbinator]

Because I don't keep up on every deal I post.  If I did, I'd be tracking 50 at any given time.

Yikes, and what's all that other IBM stuff in the photo? It looks water-damaged.

Starting bid now $225. Not sure the seller understands how this works...

Haha, really? I wonder how high he or she will go.
