Ending soon: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Rare-IBM-1392934-Model-M-Space-Saver-PS-2-Clicky-Keyboard-09-17-91-/381912438914?hash=item58ebc15882:g:W30AAOSwA3dYboAM#viTabs_0 I'd grab if I had the cash

Crazy that such a dirty board got $155 before shipping. damn.

Hmm, I was actually surprised that it went for that little.  SSK's seem to fetch more like $200 or more I always though.  This one could be cleaned to look like new.  That marker would come right off with isopropyl alcohol too!

Maybe. I have found that "older" (years? decades?) marker and adhesive residue will sometimes work its way down into the plastic and become impossible to remove completely.

I was watching this auction but decided against bidding. I did notice the darker marker scribble was applied over a piece of transparent tape so that might come off okay with the tape but that faded marker spooked me. I did a test on a junker keyboard case with Magic Eraser as suggested in homemaker's forums. It basically sanded the plastic away. I took a look at the test spot today and the marker I thought I had rubbed away was back. Very faint but noticeable.

Depends on how hysterical people happen to be at the moment, apparently.
