I kinda want it for my IBM-collection but .. Is he asking way to much ?
Could probably get a near-mint Model F for the same and frankly, I want that even more !
On the other hand, this IS practically a Model F, just BIGGER, so ..Since the site allows 'Make an offer' :
Should I go Marrakesh-market on this guy or is the asking-price in fact fair ??

At first I thought "$16 is not a bad price".

Then I realized I left out a zero...

Interesting. Must have been refurb'd by a Dutch servicer at some point.

Too expensive, these went for much much less on ebay last time I checked. Even with the shipping costs it would cost you half.

If it sells, it's the right price

A guy on ebay Fr tries to sell an azerty Model M for 80€ for weeks, and no bid.
Way too expensive so.

It's difficult to say whether international versions increase the value because they are more rare, or decrease it because a smaller national market is potentially interested in them, and there is less demand.

Me, I collect IBM, but 'm not interested in international versions of IBM keyboards. I use the Dutch Model Ms I find for spare parts. Might be a different story if you really want that Danish version and you have been looking for it for a while. I think some international boards sold for premium prices at clickykeyboards, compared to ordinary ones. But he's a slow-seller. He'll wait for that guy who desperately wants that particular version. If someone puts such a board on ebay, only few eyes will check it out in the time the auction is running, and it might be won very cheaply.
