I've been stockpiling these at work (the good ones, made by IBM and not Lexmark or Unicomp) and was curious if anybody was interested in these.
I happened upon a particularly collectible one the other day, as a matter of fact.
It's an IBM keyboard with the wonderfully noisy buckling spring technology (much like the one I'm typing on right now), 83 keys, black 5-pin AT cable.
A keyboard just like this one (in slightly better condition) just sold on eBay for over one hundred dollars. This is somewhat ludicrous for an old AT keyboard you're not really even going to be able to use on a modern computer.
If anybody's interested in top-notch cleaned-out genuine IBM keyboards, I have quite a stash at work, and a box full of spare keycaps to go with them.
