Wanted: IBM Model M keyboard (black logo)

[spacecadet]

I'm wondering if anyone around here has an old IBM Model M clicky keyboard they'd like to (or be willing to) get rid of, with the black IBM logo. Clean, dirty, missing key caps, doesn't matter as long as it's mechanically functional. I don't even really care if it's got a cord or what connector it has, because my plan is just to make a video comparing it to my blue logo later revision in terms of the differences in build quality and feel.

 

There are some on Ebay but I have lost three auctions now by $1, and the BIN ones are all too expensive. I'm looking to pay something reasonable - the auctions I lost all ended in the $30-$40 range, so that's about what I'm hoping to pay.

 

Thanks in advance...

You only lost by $1 as that is a bid increment. The winning bidder could have been ready to spend much more than your bid plus 1. Ebay is still your best bet for this keyboard.
