If it is, it might just temp me to sell mine.

And for that price, if I was a buyer, I'd be driving to collect it, with payment only done at collection time.

I'd say no, I mean unless there are some really special expansion cards installed that we can't see. That same setup seems to go for $700 or less on eBay, at least from a very quick glance.......and eBay is the standard for high prices.

This is the eBay listing at https://www.ebay.com/itm/275627937608, the listing containing, "Located in: Portland, Oregon, United States"
The OP's location is listed as 'Ak', which according to what I read, is Alaska.

Note: After my previous post, the OP changed their location from 'Ak' to 'Oregon'.

Something does not seem right. OP says was used as a personal computer, but listing on ebay says...

"As far as I know, this unit is in great condition. I don't know a ton about vintage computers". So which is it? Do you know about vintage computers and used it regularly, or do you not know anything much about it?

Also the price is insane. Front bezel is cracked on right side. Worth maybe 500ish tops.

And the price on eBay is $1999. So the initial post said he's been using it regularly. But the post on eBay claims he doesn't know alot about vintage computers. Something stinks here and it's not just the price. I agree $500 tops.

And now the location has gone.
As far as I am concerned, the 'body of evidence' indicates this thread as being fake (e.g. a scam, e.g. a mechanism by which someone gets manipulation kicks).
Caveat emptor.

He's not commenting here for obvious reasons.
The standard keyboard was the Model F/AT or optionally, the silver square badge model M 1390131. His 3rd gen Model M dates to late 1993 at the earliest.

OP is also a very new member, just having joined barely over a month ago and posted this 2 days after joining. Yeah, scam.

If you compare the description here and in the auction, it does not match. One of the two must be a previous owner and the other one a reseller.

Anyway, just another try to sell something way over-priced. (and I *still* don't understand why the marketplace is "free to all").
