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.

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

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.
