Hi there,

Im sort of new to this whole keyboard thing have not spent alot on it yet, i currently own a 1391401 but its not in my possesion (more on that later) But im looking to buy a Model M space saver(preferably not blue label). Im from Ireland and there is little to no market for these sorts of things at all here. So i figured i give it a shot to ask here, i know that alot of the users on here are located in America and shipping from america to ireland is alot and tbh i dont want to be paying over 175$ for this board cause like i said im a beginner but if theres anyone on here looking to sell their SSK i have a relative in america whom i can have the board sent to as he is returing soon for a holiday and will be able to bring me the board. Thanks in advance.

Seems to me a fair price if you're after a SSK, quite rare in Europe.
But then again, I bought my IBM Model M Silver badge (1390131) few months ago for only 50 euro ....

The usual story. Time and effort vs. money.

I got my second SSK for $25. Zing!

Wow,... Nope, I can't beat that...
I got a Chicony 5161A with blue Alps in good condition for 30 euro.
