Psst--hey buddy: want a keyboard? [May. 6th, 2008|12:56 am]

I've got two keyboards up for sale on eBay:



Both are genuine IBM buckling-spring Industrial Gray Model-M keyboards. These gray ones are rare--far less common than the putty-colored ones. Rarer still are the black TrackPoint Model M-13 keyboards, made by Lexmark. I have two of those. Ain't nobody getting them, not unless I'm totally starving.

If they don't go for anything, I'll pay $10 for one (considering I'm the source of one of your black IBM keyboards …)

Actually, they're gonna go for around $50. These gray ones are pretty rare.

On the other hand, I have tons of leftover putty-colored ones at the office. You're welcome to a few.

Besides, do you actually think I'd charge one of my best friends for a keyboard? Especially if I had a surplus of them? No way, dude.

I prefer my putty-colored one over the gray. Don't know as I've ever seen a black one. I love the *music* they play. Could listen to that clackety-clack all day.

I'll check your auction. Would be good to have one as a spare, although *Industrial* seems to be an apt description. They never seem to wear out, at least not under the amount of usage they get from me...

These are gonna sell for around $50 each. They're pretty rare.

I have a bunch of putty-colored ones at the office. You're more than welcome to a few grĂ¡tis--especially if you prefer them over the gray.
