It may be hard to grab one, but will ask anyway.
Looking for a SSK, ANSI.
Ideally grey label.
I bought Model M for a $100, don't know if SSK are cheaper or more expensive?

I'm gonna through out a wild guess and say they're more expensive by a good amount. GL!

They have become quite rare and recently I have seen them go for 300+ (both $ and €) when in reasonable condition and / or bolt modded.

I think it would be better to just go for a new model f :/

Budget apart, it really depends on what you are after: Do you "just" want a TKL buckling spring keyboard because you like the switch type and the form factor or do you want a vintage keyboard in particular? Nothing wrong with either of these. I am hearing good things about the Mini M (apart from the problems with the firmware) and I will probably order one, once they ship to the EU.

Yeah, that's what I thought, will be expensive.
I'm after real vintage board, dont like this new ones.
