I need to get a new PC, so I'm forced to sell something. Unfortunately my most expensive keyboards are the only ones that can do the job and being the F 122 my least favourite (I still love it), it must go.

Let's talk about the keyboard: by itself is in very good state of conservation, the plastic case has some scratches and the metal backplate too, but not a single broken part or anything deep enough to cause damage. The barrelplate has been repainted. The missing were keys repalced, the cable was replaced with another original IBM DIN 240º cable which was in much better shape, also some wire stabs were replaced with model M pipe stabs which work superb. Two original IBM spare flippers were added to provide extra numpad keys. The keyboard works perfect, I recently used it for some long periods of time with not a single complain.

Pics: I'm asking for 680 USD converted to BTC. Due to my country's strict excharge control I can't accept other methods as I would get in trouble trying to use the money. I'm shipping from Argentina in charge of the buyer, but we can discuss it if it gets too crazy.

Now we just wait for btc price to drop...
Very nice board, too bad the label isn't perfect. GLWS.

Thanks. Actually, the badge is in good shape, the picture made it look weird.



EDIT: sorry, you mean the paper label, not the badge

Yeah, the paper label / birth certificate is what I meant.
This is actually the first f122 I've seen that doesn't have a laminated paper label, which is strange since I know many much later model m's have it.

Bump, beautiful F-122 hope yours didn't give you nearly as much agony as mine has in the restoration process, hahaha.

Thanks for the bump. The only big complain when I got the keyboard was the smell, but a good wash worked. For some reason I had quite a lot of smelly situations with my IBMs.

Bump.

Might want to change that price now, 0.051BTC is now equivalent to about a thousand USD with how much prices have been soaring recently.

Thanks for the advice. Price updated.

I'm sorry. I'll mention the same thing that hadphone_jack said: Bitcoin's too high. 0.036 BTC is now $687 US. The most expensive sold Model F on US ebay was $355. Don't let me stop you if that's what you wanted, though. I'm just dropping by!

Hi. When I first posted it there were only two F 122 keyboards for about the same money as mine. My idea was replace the PC, if I can't justify that cost selling the keyboard I preffer keep it. On the other hand, I don't want to delete this thread, if the prices rise or all the other keyboards sell, mine has an oportuny for the money I want. I appreciate your good intention anyway.

I mean, $650 is high...but it's not completely out of the ballpark. These usually sell for about $500 plus or minus

Bump, super curious to see how this plays out price-wise, as for that yeah it's not an awful price for sure given what looks like a fairly good condition board for sure!

It's a good board. Nice and clean. GLWS!

Thanks guys! You're the best!

Bump. Price fixed in dollars to avoid getting mad with the BTC's constant rising.

Sold I'll miss you, big and loud monster.
