For sale is an IBM Model F 122-key keyboard in very good condition! It is untested but very clean with all correct keys present for an IBM 3180 terminal.

This keyboard is one that I rescued from the Electronics Plus warehouse cleanout and am proxy selling for elecplus. For more information on the chaos that hit the warehouse please visit: viewtopic.php?f=52&t=25302

I am running this as a silent auction, as a fundraiser for elecplus. The auction expires on 2021-03-14 at 00:00:00 UTC. To see how long is remaining in the auction please click here: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/g ... sive&csz=1

The keyboard is in Texas, United States, ZIP code 78613.

Bidding procedure: send a Deskthority PM to XMIT. Make sure the text F122_01 is in the subject line of the PM. The text of the PM should contain your bid and your shipping location (country and postal code). If you have an actual IBM 3180 terminal CRT and are looking for the matching keyboard, please mention this in your PM for consideration.

I will send a PM to the winner on 2021-03-15, at which time they have 48 hours to pay before I move on to the next person. Payment will be via Paypal. I also accept Venmo for US based buyers.

Shipping will be 50 USD within the lower 48 states of the United States and 100 USD to other destinations. I will ship tracked and insured if able, in a virgin 24 x 12 x 6 inch box. These boards are heavy! The buyer can request a particular delivery service.

Please let me know what questions you have, and good luck!

Huh, no bites yet. If it doesn't sell here it'll go to MechMarket or eBay.

I'm keen, just trying to assess my bid. We bid once, right? No increases after it's sent to you?

It has been only about 24 hours . Note that the (US) Covid stimulus package also just hit yesterday. Some folks might have been waiting on that.

You can increase as many times as you want. I'll factor the single highest bid from each individual.

Well, this is a sort of experiment to see if the silent auction is viable, it's all new to me! I'll check in periodically through the week.

If it helps, eBay completed auctions are telling me that these are selling for about 250-500 USD each, with 400 USD being the mode. This is a fundaiser so I'm hoping to be on the high side of that or beyond. Thanks!

Just wanted to see that this is awesome to see! hopefully we can recoup a lot of damages for elecplus

PMs are starting to trickle in. I'm expecting more excitement toward the end of the week!

Just a couple of days to go, please get your bids in!

Almost done, just one day to go! I'll be reaching out to some of the non-widding bidders to see if they are interested in some other F122 boards.

All done! I will be reaching out to the winner today or tomorrow, apologies for the delay. For those of you who did not win, there may be other F122s coming up for sale in the near future...

The winner has been contacted, thanks for playing!
