IBM TK Keyboard, lol.

$99 plus shipping.

NOS 1394193 Terminal Model Ms sealed in their boxes. Seller shows greater than qty 10 available.

Agreed. I don't cancel bids since I usually run BIN listings, but if someone starts asking lots of seemingly random questions about one of my items and the answers are already right there in the listing for them to see, then I tend to just block them immediately so that they can't buy from me. I've ...

In the listing, the seller admits that they are a hoarder, so I guess that explains the crazy prices of their items.

Two M122s and One F122 for $325 plus shipping:

Right you are!

I should have gone to the wiki before posting, lol. So this one should be slider over rubber dome on capacitive sensing.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/255445926465 Interesting IBM Keyboard with the old silver badge and battleship-style flip out feet. This is not one I'm familiar with. Anyone have any information on it? It doesn't appear to be buckling spring from what I can tell. Edit: Looking closely at it, I have to assu...

There's a Selectric going for ~120 USD at a thrift store. Should I get it?

Our local Goodwill stores here in Maine usually only ask $25-$30 for Selectrics.

Unless it's a really desirable color (like red) or is something fairly rare (like a Selectric I with blue keys), I would pass.

For some reason, my inner voice read that comment in a German accent, lol.

The same seller offering the F122 shell has a listing for a 5251 shell also. This one has a mock-up drawing of sorts at least. It will be interesting to see what comes of these.

Edit: Looks like that was mentioned above. Whoops.

Yeah, it reminds me a little of a seller I tried to buy a PC from a few weeks back. They listed a system with a bunch of great specs and a good price, so I used buy-it-now. Then a short while later I received a message from the seller asking me what my budget was and what I was looking for in a syst...

Pretty neat IBM 1393387 keypad along with four other model Ms for $250

https://www.ebay.com/itm/224519074182

Edit: SOLD

Already gone. Yeah, it was gone in less than a minute. It was a good deal for an early red-label model. Edit: By the way, did anyone here buy the seven SSKs yesterday that went for $69 each? Someone bought the lot at once. I was busy with other things otherwise I may have snapped them up myself. ht...

If by legit, you mean rubber dome, then I don't see why not.

Omnikey 101, $80 plus shipping (USA)

This looks pretty neat, but I'm pretty sure it'll be gone before I decide if I want to buy it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Keyboard-Century/124677252972 There's a story there on why the CTRL key says CTRL KEY. More than a story -- it's a 'legend'. :D Interesting that in addition to the 'Ctrl K...

While I'd absolutely love to try brown Alps, this one's a tad too steep at $500 US. It's a "new old stock" replacement for an IBM 5140 luggable. And one for $299. I do realize that the seller has a bit of history here ... Yeah, that's pretty high. I just sold a complete working 5140 a couple of wee...

Anyone close to Connecticut?

I had pre-omnikey Northgate branded 555 a while back. It featured a small square gold badge with the Northgate logo on it.

Mine was blue Alps, so I can't comment on the Omron switches, but I'd still consider any 555 an extremely rare find.

Nothing special. Just an OK-Keyboard https://www.ebay.com/itm/Oriental-Tech-OK-100M-model-VINTAGE-1990s-keyboard-NEW-FREE-SHIPPING/203318526583?hash=item2f56ba8277:g:8JkAAOSwc8Zdo8qq I'd consider buying it, but even the manufacturer admits that these keyboards aren't that good. Of course they also ...

I'm actually kinda curious how the seller was able make a functional keyboard in a Model M using what seem to be Cherry MX keycaps. Ideas anyone? Edit: I see now in the listing that they used actual typewriter keys. :-( I still wonder how they got the mechanism to work. There used to be a buckling s...

Decent price on a 3278 beamer. A few replaced keys.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-3278-Keybo ... 4717026291

My browser shows the certificate was just renewed as I typed this, so it looks like they fixed it.

Yeah, he seems really into blue Alps -- Perhaps
even bordering on a cult-like devotion. (Insert "Hallowed are the Blue Alps!" Ori meme here)

I wonder why he isn't here on DT with the rest of us keyboard nuts?

That checks out. AI would likely make similarly heavy use of the Comic Sans font just to spite us humans.
