I shall pray for the seller's capslock key to be fixed so he or she can type normally.

Hope someone gets a good price on this.

Indeed, kaburg, that's a great price for an apparently unused M.

A bit of Goo Gone will remove that tape residue, too. Unless the buyer prefers to preserve it, of course—it is genuine IBM residue.  :?)

Was the description all-caps? It's not now. Maybe the seller's a GH member who saw your post and was shamed into editing.

The effort is appeciated, but if you want to remove a topic you started here, just retitle it and empty your first comment.

The original post was edited. The auction link that was up when the thread was created was this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-MODEL-M-TRACKBALL-KEYBOARD-RARE-VINTAGE-1994-BLUE-LOGO-ps-2/361439355510

I guess that explains why the current link says there is a mouse or maybe I just don't know enough about model M's.

Edit: nevermind he just typed out what was written on the box

Glad someone got a great deal on that M with trackball. Nice!

I'm the seller and I haven't made any revisions to the original eBay posting. The auction includes a mouse. I think perhaps Ludovidican confused my eBay auction with a different eBay auction.

The post that started this thread was for the trackball M.   kaburg changed it after a few had already noticed it.

I'm guessing either he wanted it or someone messaged him saying "it's an auction with a low price, by posting it here you'll drive the price up, I'd appreciate it if you removed it."

Instead of removing it he switched the title/link but it was too late at that point.

No harm done, I think... Maybe I'm missing something, but if Ludovician hadn't made the "caps lock" comment, it would've just ended up being about the (apparently) NIB Lexmark M—which, currently at $51 shipped, qualifies as a Great Find IMHO.

I saw the original thread and when it was switched I commented without regard to the previous comments.

I kept it vague so as not to reveal the original listing which I assume was hidden for the purpose of keeping the price down.

The replacement listing does seem a great find if there's no last minute sniping.  We'll see.

For my part, I commented without regard to the comments in either of the topics adjoining this one. I am always vague, and my posts should always be hidden for the purpose of maintaining a semblance of sanity around here. But no.

Whoever won this link for the kb and mouse got a great deal.  I have several of those mice (but not one with the two-tone buttons like that one), and they're better than most.
