Pretty decent price but shipping might kill it

Are they really have stock of it? Whenever I see those keyboard on Taobao I doubt.
Most of them have no trade history.

I ordered two things from this seller over Bhiner but got a refund.

However, two IBM keyboards I ordered from other sellers are on their way to me right now. So YMMV.

I ordered and received a Model M Lexmark 42H1292 from taobao for around 30 USD:

The item arrived in good condition (with all rivets still intact during shipping), but without ESC keycaps. Pretty good I'd say considering 30 USD

Lexmark? Was it so that IBM originally produced them but then Lexmark took over? Or that Lexmark produced it FOR IBM?

IBM spun off it manufacturing of peripherals such as printers and keyboards to Lexmark. Lexmark built for IBM, and later under its own brand.

Unicomp acquired the keyboard factory later on from Lexmark.

Toward the end you can expand the "product number" chart to get a good but incomplete list.

"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."
