#1 - Not a bad price. This seller has sold a number of these in varying condition.
#2 - Bit too high. Wait for Unicomp's black Friday sales.
#3 - This is the IBM Screen Reader keypad and not the same $2k keypad accessory to the Unsaver / F104.
See:

The listing has been up for a while. I'm a bit surprised no one's grabbed it.

Never seen a keyboard looking like that before. Interesting concept; wondering why it never got popular.

probably because, taking into account inflation, the retail price was close to the BIN of the lot

Cost is definitely an issue; it went for >1200 USD 5 years ago.

Asking $50.000 for a calculator prototype? What do they smoke at Bonhams?

The history is certainly there (more significant than an Apple I depending on your point of view), but they don't show the other items included in the lot (documents, second case, etc).
I'd assume for $68,000 they could confirm it's function, but they didn't so it's probably totally dead.

Went for $83.73. TKL model. I hope someone from here picked that up.
Two 1993 Model M 122s. Blue label. $50 each. Free shipping. Terminal connectors. The one shown is missing two of the printed key caps, but the stem parts are there. I'd buy both, but I have a couple things bit more expensive I'm looking closely at.
