Great/Interesting Finds

OMG JP I'm so jealous! I've been curious about those integrated desk units since I first saw a photo of one here somewhere. I'm also glad that some of you are also having good IBM days

I always play the Ice Cube song when I have one:

Now THAT'S how you play this game ...

Throwing money at high balling ebay auctions is about as heroic as shooting a caged tiger.
That is indeed a great find ...

BUT honestly I'm really sick of all this money talk, in both directions
It's about the keyboards and stories for me, I don't care if you got it for 5 or 500€.

Amen to that.

Amen to that.

If that means we will get a few hours without any obscene cash flapping, it was more than I could have hoped for.

Not even worth $50, try $5

emdude · 31 May 2017, 06:07

That seller has been putting up many cheap, moldy-looking Model Ms. Wonder how the rest of the keyboard looks..

I asked for more photos. XD

Poor keyboard

Someone offer him $10 and then post an epic clean-up/rescue thread!

F-122 goes for USD 305

I had bid $250 because I'm a desperate man. But alas, the keyboard gods apparently don't want me to have an F-122.

Just wait around for a bit longer - you'll find one for even less than your desperate bid, I assure you!

Thanks!

There is an Ebay seller that had two F122s and they've listed them a couple of times for $230 and $240, but they used the same pic in both listings. I messaged them about getting photos of the actual items and they didn't respond; so I didn't feel comfortable buying from them.

Cindy had a couple F122's earlier this year that were already modded and both were listed for $175. One of them actually sat unsold for months if I recall. They're scarce right now, but these things seem to go in cycles.

I remember that. I looked at them almost daily, but I thought, "Nah. That price is too high." I am such a dumbass sometimes.

Guess F122's are going for more than I charge for F107's these days for some reason.

I have an F122 without top case (It had previously cracked) that is disassembled that would need new foam and a new top case from a first generation model M122 that I'd gladly let go for $200 shipped to the USA. If anyone is interested, PM me.

Sorry you didn't get it. I'll get around to selling some F122s at some point. I'm in the middle of moving my inventory into my new workshop and realizing, wow, I should sell about half these boards.

I'd be lucky to sell one board a week given how much else I have going on. At that rate it will take 2-3 years to get some of the fun stuff listed. Sorry guys.

It looks like a Chicony 5191 wiki/Chicony_KB-5191
It comes with a great variety of switches and the keycaps are padprinting so not that great

I wrote that badly, I meant the keycaps are not great

Most of the switches that it could come with are great, and for that price is a very good find
