Thanks for sharing.  I'm sure I'll be outbid soon.  And I'm not going to say it's not worth the price, but it's certainly not "new."  You can see dust and skin flakes on the keys.  Not that dust is ever going to hurt a Realforce.  The last one of these I picked up smelled like a wet ashtray.  Good thing for buyer protection

Funny, that could mean two entirely different things:

• "Thanks for letting me know! I bid, but I probably won't get it."

• "Thanks for nothing—now everybody knows about it!"

And I'm not going to say it's not worth the price, but it's certainly not "new."  You can see dust and skin flakes on the keys...

But isn't dust largely skin flakes anyway?

Do you think this keeb has enough mites then?

It's up to $170... Goodbye, bargains.

Well, where can you even purchase one besides eBay?  I’m planning to bid again before it closes.
