Dunno if anyone's interested, but new ones don't turn up very often:

"Mint condition in box" is not new.

And F XTs are about the only ones that ever turn up new, in any case.

The listing notes that it has been previously used. Which makes sense because the styrofoam doesn't appear to have decomposed too much. Doesn't ship outside the US though, I think.

That's what I like about you guys: You're precise.

As I'm sure you'll agree, there isn't nearly enough precision in the world. The world, if anything, tends to be sloppy—even dangerous (which, of course, implies sloppiness). What a relief it is to hang out here and get a feeling of exact knowledge of keyboard conditions. I don't know about you, but it helps me sleep better knowing there's at least one bastion of precision in this sloppy, generally imprecise world.

People make a big deal out of virginity.

Ebay would certainly side with a "not as described" complaint on an item with a "NIB" listing when in fact it was not.

I take it as a given that I will be dismantling and reconstructing any IBM keyboard that I get, and I even did a bolt-mod (badly needed) on a new-in-box SSK that I got last year.

It's too bad we don't also have a Meh Finds section—I could've moved this there.
