The Great Karnak predicts...  $112.57 sale price, with at least 3 bids in the last minute.  Nobody on GH will end up with it.

(Must remember to revisit this auction in four days.)

Just trying to share.   I wasn't going to post here, but at 100 views and a bunch of bids, I figured people were aware of the auction.

I was just razzin' you, that's a great find considering how it's titled. If it is like-new, it would be a great one.

Who buys up all these $100 Model M Minis if it's not us? Is it some Japanese guy with a keyboard obsession?

A Japanese business owner bought a bunch of keyboards when I sold off my collection last year--A mini, a 1390120, an AT F, and I can't recall what else. I imagine they're worth big money over there.

Bidding up and over $100 already.    Maybe Karnack was right about the final price??

That isn't too bad for an 84-key... The NIBs from that guy with over nine-thousand of them seem to be hitting the $200 as of late.

I don't think it's that bad considering the addition of a box adds $80?   That's assuming it truly is "like new"??

That NIB guy, assuming she has sold half of her stock by now, she is listing the NIB KBS Weekly, it would take her (4500/52= 86.5) Years to sell the remaining stock. What's the point of earning the weekly $200 ?

I don't believe she has as much stock and it's soon running out. The reason I purchased two, so I would have a few spares when these M Minis are all sold.

Btw, these KBDs do not travel well, half the plastic rivets are broken on arrival. Any opinions on whether or not to subject these to a "Nuts & Bolts" mod with implication that they may no longer be considered NIB ?

When that guy ships he double boxes.  My NIB Mini M had no broken rivets on arrival.

And pacing your sales is a well know technique.  Ask these guys.

Wearing Birkenstocks kinda ruined the costume.



Type on that NIB Mini for a day and see how many rivets fall off  :-))

Are all of those NIB Mini Ms from the same batch??   '88 Model 1392934 with black frames??

I like the boots.  And either she is just tiny or that is just one huge laptop.

I want one of these.   Not as nice as Rip's ADT (?) Space Saving Mini, but still really cool:
